Kid-size furniture stores

I love a good deal, and as a marketer I always have the value equation at top of mind. Here's a secret to finding great value and style in home decor: forget the outlet store and shop the kiddy section!

The kids extension of your favorite home store can offer the quality and style of a retailer you love for a better price. You just have to be careful about the proportions.

Be sure to look at measurements to make sure you don't accidentally buy something wee size. Some of the items are on a slightly smaller scale, which could be a plus if you are tight on space (although some say small furniture in small rooms is a no-no).
