the Cre8tive Outlet: Cre8tive Concept Board - a kid's room inspired by a sock monkey!

Yep! that's right....a sock monkey! Who doesn't love a sock monkey? Such a simple toy with a history. Mothers began sewing sock monkeys as toys for their children during the great depression. They used worn Rockford work socks that had the iconic red heal which creates the sock monkeys distinctive mouth.

So here it is.... A Cre8tive Concept Board. This is a gender neutral design for a kid's room,baby's nursery, or play room. All inspired by the sock monkey!

The best thing to do in kid's rooms is to use decor and furnishings that have kid-like qualities and playfulness but aren't necessarily only for kids! I like to use pieces that will grow with a child.

The layout....
You may be wondering why I chose a coffee table for a kids space...but believe me it makes a perfect play table and it's just the right height. I advise you to go with an already distressed look...or your kids will do it for you! This rustic-reclaimed wood table looks great anchored on the black and white chevron rug.
