@kirstieparker, Since our parents are now gone, mum just back in October, our family is a bit fractured because we simply came back to the family home for Christmas. Distance is also a bit of an issue with where our family members live so we personally, hubby and I will be celebrating Christmas by ourselves but we will have Christmas Eve with my son and the day after boxing day, the entire family including my son again, are meeting at a central loction, shared travel so to speak, where we try to make it easier on one family member not having to travel far and then it's swapped the next year. We're meeting at a nice Tavern, where no one is cooking and there are no presents just great times with everyone doing what our family like doing best and that's first and foremost being together, then followed closely by eating, joking, more eating and joking and so on!!! So in answer to the forum question, it's neither day really but whatever that day is that we all get together, is the best perfect day!!! Cheers, Barbara

Is your child really messy? Sounds like you need something that wipes clean, if they are. SO no fabric options. But remember that they wont be young for very long, and you will have the bed for many more years. I say go with ewhat you like most and scotchguard it. Also, what is high gloss?

Excellent, excellent Mothers Day. Leg of lamb and rolled pork roasts on the go by 9:00am, Snowee taken off to get clipped, Cauliflower and broccoli cheese bake, baked carrots and pumpkin with mixed spices and my special crispy potatoes. All for the seventeen people from four generations made up of the great-grand parents, the grand parents (us) and the parents of the four grandkids plus one uncle thrown in. And then, the big announcement. My daughter and her partner announced their engagement. Clint had sent Harrison (20 months) in with a card and a small box which Hazza threw onto the bed. The ring box only contained a note asking "daddy wants to know if you want to marry him?" Excitement all round.

White is a classic option when you have other competing colours in the space, otherwise aqua shades will work beautifully with both the cream & brass bed and the grey walls and flooring.
