Green Nuseries in Many Colors

Other than the child’s name, nursery decorating might be the most important part of a baby’s early identity. Crafting the perfect cozy corner for a child has become a cottage industry. Parents are placing more emphasis on creating a matching munchkin haven full of character.

Retailers looking for a new profit possibility might consider carrying paints in addition to crib bedding and coordinating accessories. Dirt has never looked so clean and chic with the natural pigment of Green Planet Paints — so clean you could bathe in them. Sweet ones will slumber peacefully with medical grade mattresses and pads by Moonlight Slumber. Creative and chic, Carousel Designs has over 100 options for a natural nursery, so parents can customize a room to their child’s personality or their own tastes. Stokke stocks some of the most versatile furniture on the market, including beds, dressers and diaper changing tables that convert as children grow.

Green Planet Paints: A Stroke of Genius

Since prehistoric times, men and women have decorated their sacred places and dwellings with naturally colored materials. Playing around with pigments and clay led to some exciting inventions in our world, and Meredith Aronson is no exception. She combined her love of paints with her love of children and created a love child of her own: Green Planet Paints. Combining her expertise in materials science with her knowledge of ancient pigment technologies, she began formulating a new kind of paint founded on three principles: beauty, performance, and sustainability.

She took her experience to suppliers and insisted they green up their manufacturing processes until they met her stringent requirements. Green Planet Paints are plant-based, sustainable, and nontoxic. Because the paint is actually a living, natural plant-based paint, it actually improves nursery air quality.

These paints live up to their name: Renaissance. The Renaissance Color Palette offers 48 natural, lightfast hues and shades. Colors are designed and balanced to harmonize in any combination, elevating the nuances found in nature into a manageable set of color options.

Moonlight Slumber Assures a Good Night

If there is a man on the moon, guaranteed he sleeps on Moonlight Slumber. Today, many parents are choosing to go green with their home, especially in the nursery. Start with where little dreamers spend the majority of their time –– sleeping in the crib. Moonlight Slumber offers natural and medical grade mattresses and pads.

You may not know, but most baby mattresses today contain a dangerous combination of toxic chemicals and materials. These chemicals can off-gas into the surrounding air that children inhale as they sleep and play. That’s why Moonlight Slumber introduced the new Naturals line, including the Natures Star™ crib mattress, bassinet and cradle mattress, and flat changing table pad.

All Moonlight Slumber bed pillows and maternity pillows contain a synthetic down that offers all the comfort and breathability of down, without the hassles with wear, dust mites and allergies. All products are PVC/Vinyl-free, non-toxic, antimicrobial, hypoallergenic, and made of the best combination of earth friendly products and health and safety features.
