When you’re first “nesting” and making your house a home for the little who has yet to come, there’s so much attention paid to the crib and the clothes and the adorable onesies. But, as your baby grows up and starts movin’ and shakin’ you realize something—everything is a threat. Those outlets? Dangerous. Art on the walls that could fall? Dangerous.
Something we’re experiencing right now? Those coffee table corners. It’s unavoidable that kids will get bumps and bruises, but those sharp corners, heavy materials, and potential for splinters got us looking for a new piece to add to our living rooms. These are the options we’re loving right now.
