Kimberly Schick-Puddicombe put together some ideas with Kathryn from Go to your room for Lorraine Mansbridge on Global TV. Go To Your Room is one of those stores you just have to see to believe. It’s like walking into a fairy tale that you can take home.
Kathryn’s place is one I could spend hours in and still not see everything. She has a unique Kid’s décor store that creates rooms kids want to spend time in. Her 
creativity, artistic flair and special touch is on everything in the store. She has a knack for putting things together that “are just a perfect fit” If you have a piece or want to create a room to inspire your children Kathryn is the one to talk to. She can take a boring piece of furniture, a chair and give it that pizzazz that makes you go “WOW”.
When I talked to her about organizing children, she had tons of ideas. She of course has great and one of kind hooks that you can put your jacket or 
PJ’s on and why not top it of with your Childs initial to make it personal.
She showed me a Magnetic Board that had great antique red paint on it. We added the Easy Daisies Calendar on it to help give children the visual of what is in store for each day. Easy Daisies has 8 different calendars that come in different themes to help make days easier. We also put some great magnets on them to help arrange photos, crafts and birthday invites. What a great idea to put anywhere in the house and clean up the fridge.
She also showed me a magnetic calendar that she jazzed up with some letters for the days of the week. She suggested that you could your child’s initial and put it on the day when they have events for the week, which you can write on and it easily erases.
One of the coolest clocks I have seen to keep all your weekly activities, tickets, photos or party invites on is this steel Paper clip clockEveryone loved this one.
Even though we did not show the storage ideas on the global TV show (only because I could not fit them in my already full truck) I wanted to be sure to mention how creative and beautiful she makes storage look. Check out some of these that she has in the store and be sure to see the little orange rocking chair that is just my favorite.
As I said, you really have to GO TO Her store and find that one piece that may inspire your whole room or just add that finishing touch to what you have created. We bought a stool for my son at her store that did just that and we think of Kathryn every time he gets into bed. She will even paint something like our stool, just for your child.
