Right now we have a baby girl but we know we want at least one more child that could be a boy or girl. The cabinets are espresso, the counter and floor are white marble, and the shower has white subway tile. The hardware is brushed nickle and we want to keep the walls white or really light.
P.S. no green please



Answer
Pick a neutral theme. Not a current cartoon character as they can be to camp and who know what will be cool in 3 or 4 years. Bathrooms for kids should be fun and kid friendly. Gives them something to look at during the dreaded potty training chronicles.

Reachable items are important.
Add a shelf for kid books.
A cubby for bath toys.
A low mirror and a stool that they can sit or climb on.
If finances allow put in a kid height sink.
Decorative wall vinyls are easily removable if you choose to alter the colors.
Bold colors are a plus.


I suggest a plain white or beige. Then add colors in the bath set, towels and rug. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3020/2563732291_aa24737d62.jpg?v=0 http://cdn.24.com/files/Cms/General/d/420/a4654f46fcfa41d5bba9a59357de6b4f.jpg

Personally I would run with a dolphin theme http://www.plumbingsupply.com/images/dolphin-bathroom-faucet-f50-1918bn.jpg https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9t9zr1zgCA0ZOfRsH4KXEf1zuFwGiGlWZaaxYfvkVmnj3VIZ-tpelu46wS0rnpJhWYUWuSxeYv908TYuS-ie94VwJtBwsVYdCj_kUYKoTJNyPR8mxAkpt7ewEmmkdiyUOGq4syDwx-lZH/s400/8.jpg
Add these in silver http://www.etsy.com/listing/59823866/underwater-sea-life-with-scuba-diver
Then add some bright oranges and yellows in the towels and rugs.

Guinea Pig owners: What are some products that you would like to see made?




Guinea Pig


I am starting an Etsy shop that specializes in guinea pig accessories. Yes, I know there are many people out there already, but they all sell the same stuff! Me and my team are thinking of creative ideas for products to sell. (we're seamstresses) We have already thought of making a guinea pig sling with a cute and comfy holder that is under your arm for the guinea pig. What would you like to see made, or what are some of your every day guinea pig inconveniences that we could over come with a new idea?

Thanks!!!



Answer
In selling market, to make yourself known, you must to:

1) know very well your product's destination (in your case learn all you can about Guinea Pigs)
2) know very well your customer types (see few statistics about Guinea Pigs owners: mens, womans, kids, how hard is to grow a such pet)
3) Guinea Pigs live about 10 years if they are kept in good heart (use that in a fancy way to convince you customers that you products may extend the life and well being of their pets.
4) know your competition, and learn from their (also from their mistakes)
5) be innovative and original (if you have already some guinea pig accessories, you can tell yourself how can be made better with less money). You can try some homemade toys or accessories, or even try to modify what you already have, "in a new light".
6) meet your potential customers on forums and clubs.
7) ask vets opinions about guinea pig's life style and health, and try to tune your products in those directions
8) try to figure that are some types of breeders that may have not a lot time to sher with pets, so they want a "simple" way to keep a pet. Here, imagine a product like aquarium where fish have all they need to live, with minimul interactions.
9) you can include in your products some gadgets to, kids love it, but also can be expensive (here you can check China's way -online- because is cheeper): autofeeders, weather mine-stations, etc.
