By now your little princess is starting big school and is going through another big girl bedroom change. It's time to get a small desk for all those budding artists, schoolwork and dear diary times.
Decoration in your daughter's room doesn't have to be limited to arch-feminine choices. Whether dainty or tomboyish, every girl has an opinion on her surroundings and it won't necessarily mesh with yours. Take the time to listen to your daughter's desires before painting her room in pink. Let her make the choice regarding colour.

About now is a good time to think about spending some money on good quality furniture that will last the next 10 years. If you are after colour, furniture painted in a lighter colour can later be easily changed to a darker or bright colour. Solid timber furniture is a great choice, as a child whose tastes change over the years will probably accept it.
