Dear Mr. Brown,
I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to email me regarding the design of my little girls room. Your Lady Bug Paisley collection looks wonderful and I get many compliments on her room. I have attached some photos of the finished room. I am no designer and there are flaws but thank you for the inspiration.
Have a wonderful day!!
Regards,
Corey
Thanks for sharing Corey. We love your use of colors with the stripes and how you tied Isabella’s name into the design.

Q&A
Hello,
We are doing the room in the monkey vine theme. What rug do you suggest we go with to complete the look?
Thank you,
SB

Hi
Thanks for your email. Check out the rug below - I feel it would be a great compliment to Monkey Vine without over-doing the design theme. Also, a good basic rug will last you well into the tween years so it is a good investment!

For the Handsome Puppy Collection check out (the sheets in this collection are stars so it would be a great combo)

Designer tips for decorating your nursery affordably without giving up on good design
During a recent interview with cafemom.com, Kenneth offered some tips on how to achieve good design without breaking the bank.
1. So, Kenneth, when starting a nursery for a new baby, what’s the most important thing to keep in mind?
Remember this room is still part of your home and should reflect a style that is comfortable for you to spend a lot of time in. It should also be a design that can easily translate into a toddler’s room. They grow too fast!
2. What are your best tips for saving money while decorating a nursery? Where can you scrimp and where should you plan to spend a little?
Here are some tips for saving money on nursery design:
Make an area rug out of leftover remnants from the local carpet store. Look for easy to maintain carpets that are soft. You can create a fun custom shape without breaking the bank. An area rug is a great place for tummy-time in the middle of the room.
Instead of painting the entire room, consider painting a 42” horizontal border in a fun color on the walls.
Don’t overspend on an expensive crib unless it converts into a toddler’s bed. There are many affordable cribs that look great!
Invest in a comfortable rocking chair. Most of the time I spent with my newborn daughter, Harper, was in a slip-covered rocking chair (because spit-up happens…the slipcover has been a great investment).
3. It’s a great time to apply “creative reuse” in the home. How can you reuse existing or thrifted items to save money and the planet while decorating a new nursery?
I used a chest of drawers that I already owned for Harper’s changing table. It was the perfect height for me, and I attached a changing table frame and pad to it. When Harper grows up, I can easily remove the changing pad and frame. (:: SouleMama also used an existing bureau for a changing table).
4. What are your favorite nursery/kids room storage solutions?
I’m a fan of storage with baskets with handles! You can take the entire basket with you around the house and easily carry it back to the nursery when finished playing or doing laundry. A talent you will develop as a new parent is the ability to work with just one available hand—so being able to hold storage with one hand is great!
5. How can parents give a nursery unique and creative character?
Find photos of you and your family and frame them to coordinate with your nursery’s design (:: Ali Edwards just did a lovely family photo display in her new nursery).
Don’t ignore the ceiling. Remember that is what your baby will see the most of. I hung butterflies from the ceiling and Harper is now starting to notice them and coo at them. It’s the best sound ever!
6. What’s the biggest mistake you commonly see in nursery/kids room design?
A big mistake parents make (and I did it too!) is using materials that do not hold up well to wear and tear. Although this is an emotional time, you have to think practically. A baby’s room should be a worry-free zone and have good design at the same time. Also, open floor space is very important! This is the one time I say it’s okay to have all of your furniture up against the walls!

Ideas for Placing Wall Decals in Your Nursery
Hello,
I recently purchased the ‘Monkey Vine’ bedding including the decals. I would love some suggestions as to placing them on the walls!
Thanks,
JS
Thanks for your question! I love the idea of using decals to decorate the nursery. They offer so much flexibility and without any damage to your walls. Check out a few ideas I came up with -
BEFORE - a boring door frame
AFTER - creating a stage on the door frame for some fun monkey play.
BEFORE - another area that needs some decorating!
AFTER - by featuring corners around door frames (or window frames) the nursery has cute little surprises around every corner. This also works well on the wall behind the crib. Use the back of the crib rails as your ‘ground’ line for the little monkeys
FOR ANY BARE WALL SPACE - frame any wall space with the leaves for an instant memory board. The little blue and green dots make for an easy way to attach photos or cards to your wall.
I hope this gives you some ideas JS - send me pictures of your nursery when your finished. And congrats on your new one! Kenneth

Los Angeles, CA (January 26, 2009) – Kenneth Brown announced today the debut of his first-ever collection of baby bedding and accessories for today’s design savvy moms and dads, available exclusively at Babies"R"Us, the nation’s premier baby products retailer. The Kenneth Brown Collection is at Babies"R"Us stores nationwide and online at www.babiesrus.com/KennethBrown.
Known for his warm modern designs and use of color and texture, Kenneth Brown’s new collection at Babies"R"Us includes three exclusive nursery lines that combine sweetness and sophistication: Monkey Vine, Lady Bug Paisley and Handsome Puppy. Each line features a bedding set that includes a cotton bumper, sheet, duvet with filler, and dust ruffle, as well as complementary accessories, such as a window valance, mobiles, lamps, wall art and decals, diaper stacker, baby blanket and changing pad covers. Also included is a unique design workbook meant to help parents create a custom nursery through the aid of a checklist, paint color suggestions, and detailed instructions on how to personalize the baby’s room and make it reflect the home’s decor. The Kenneth Brown Collection makes it easy for moms and dads to create a dream nursery for their littlest addition with the expertise of a renowned interior designer at their fingertips.
“When we saw Kenneth Brown’s collection, featuring distinctive patterns, colors and lovable animals, we knew we wanted to add it as a focal point of our baby bedding and accessories business,” said Maureen Watson, Senior Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer, Babies"R"Us. “Kenneth’s design sense is on-trend and fashionable for today’s parents, and is priced affordably for value-conscious consumers. We are very excited to offer this new collection to new and expectant parents.”
One of Los Angeles’ most sought-after interior designers, Kenneth Brown has become a household name with his two hit TV shows, HGTV’s reDesign and TLC’s Over Designed, and as MSN’s resident interior design expert. Kenneth Brown’s line with Babies"R"Us is his first foray into the baby bedding category. A new father himself, the birth of Kenneth’s daughter has influenced his designs and brought a distinctly softer and more feminine aesthetic to the collection.
“I am thrilled to introduce this exclusive collection at Babies"R"Us - it is a truly unique opportunity for me,” said Kenneth Brown. “With the recent birth of my daughter, the timing could not be more right for me to be a designing dad. I look forward to sharing my designs with other new and expectant parents.”
Produced by Summer Infant under license from Kenneth Brown, the line will be 100% cotton and made of the highest quality fabrics and materials. Babies"R"Us will support the launch of the Kenneth Brown Collection with a marketing campaign inclusive of print and online promotion and in-store signage.
