Young America Introduces myHaven - Colorful, Cottage-Style Children's Furniture

From the way they dress to the music they listen to, kids are all about self expression. Now they can bring that same individuality to their bedrooms with the myHaven collection from Young America. MyHaven features 30 children’s furniture pieces finished in a scrumptious array of 20 colorful finishes, from flamingo and lilac to sunflower and watermelon.

Designed in a breezy cottage style with framed beadboard panels, louvered details and simple wood knobs, myHaven offers children’s furniture designed to adult specifications, so it can accompany your child from crib to college. (A good thing to consider when buying children's furniture, since it won’t have to be tossed out once your little one graduates from Raven to raves). At the same time, myHaven is scaled for the smaller proportions of a child’s room, making it an ideal choice for a cabin or cottage.

I got a chance to tour the collection at the High Point International Home Furnishings Market, and was totally charmed by the color palette, which is reminiscent of Maine Cottage furniture, but at a lower price point. (Although Maine Cottage’s colors are, I must confess, a little more delectable.) You could furnish your child's room in a single color, the colors of his or her favorite sports team, or mix things up for a more playful look.

I really liked the space-saving twin-over-full bunk beds ($1,618 as shown), as well as the Built to Grow crib ($779), which converts from a crib to a daybed to a double bed. The collection also includes chests, changing stations, night stands, desks, and a Caribbean-casual armoire ($1,549) that would look great in a cottage by the shore.

The myHaven collection is available in stores now, with orders delivered in 2-4 weeks. Visit youngAmerica.com for more information.
