Yes, I love that the children can access things on their own! We had this tall shelf in the room before which only clicked later that it's fine for an adult but not very functional for a child.
finally a small child's room that is actually made over with the kid playing in it in mind. I watch a ton of makeover videos and I see people making over the classic nursery that's similar to what you had before, into a chic designed grown up room with the reasoning that the child can grow into it and it won't ever become too childish for her, and some of them are so mature and look more like a designed hotel room. This is honestly so refreshing to see and it's still beautiful and pleasing to look at
I went to Montessori and I absolutely loved my time there. Also worked there as an adult and the overall teacher student relationship is so much better, in my experience, then a regular kindergarten. At least in my country 😍🥰❤️
I went to a Montessori school as a kid and loved it so much, who knows whether it that had a great impact on my life in terms of creativity and learning or whether it was other things but I enjoyed my time there nonetheless :)
Baby is due in feb. The crib never set well w me in my heart. I put a bunch of modern traditional baby gear on my registry and kept removing it until I learned about montesorri floor bed. I will use it starting from birth! Ps love that wall paper.
Thank you for mentioning buying things second hand! I wish I heard more Montessori-inspired channels mentioning it. Another benefit is it's less stressful to change things up and be flexible when you haven't invested a lot of money or wasted any resources. It's even better when you can repurpose things! I'm currently writing themed units of study with activities that use only household or recycled items. I wanted more structured activities for my toddler and didn't want the stress or guilt of trying to buy a bunch of new toys or supplies.
This isn't zero waste but if you would like to minimize baby bumping their head on the wooden sides of the bed, pool noodles can be cut down the back, covered in fabric, and placed over the wooden side rails. It's been working for us for over 2 years 😊 and be sure to attach wobbly furniture, especially dressers, to the wall! Beautiful room! You could add a mirror at ground level, for motor development. I used stick on mirrors because I wanted to avoid glass. I've seen a lot of people do this next to the changing area or bed. I was nervous about it being too stimulating next to the bed. You could also add the classic mobile for shapes and colors. Many DIY versions possible. Again, I avoided putting anything around the bed that could be stimulating. However, since baby is mobile, a mobile might be uninteresting for her now 😋
I rewatched this video again and again because I love this room! The simpicity, the style, the colours, everything! You give meg inspiration for my toddler boy's room. I also like Montessori method. IKEA Kura looks great, altough we won't change his bed within a year, I think it depends on the child, the parents, the lifestyle, the living situation that this bed how would work for a 1 year old.
You only need to put safety 1st I raised my 2 daughters traditional with a crib I was a teen mom and ignorant about parenting. My last baby at 35 I followed Montessori as well as respectful parenting and I did tons of research and reading. I removed the bedroom door and installed a baby gate for safety. We had this bed from day 1. I got a great mattress and we did the floor bed . I just really baby proofed his room . Wonderful experience anyone can do if they research and its immaculate and safe. I feel guilty my 2 girls didn't experience the same
We did floor sleeping when my kids were 18 months until about 5. Good idea with the plug covers. Also another tip is to anchor furniture. My kids liked to climb. At one point they climbed their dresser and were jumping from it onto their floor bed. It was anchored but still....
@@MyGreenCloset Is your Hemnes dresser anchored too? I really panicked when I saw the same dresser I have (we have the bigger one, same style) completely fall over on a video of someone else's kids. IKEA furniture is such a danger 😬. My toddler is like a mountain goat!
Beautiful bedroom. I'm redecorating my son's room, trying to bring it up to date. He's gonna be 4 in two months and I feel that the room suits a baby more than him, so now the library is higher and the toy box is bigger. I'm making sure his books and toys are never out of reach for him anyway. I have a couple of shelves on the wall containing the things I don't want him to touch, like the watch, his colognes bottles and the air freshener.
Hi there! I just found your channel. I have this bed for my daughter Ava (8 months old) who’s actively crawling. A few questions for you, 1. Is there any worry about your daughter hitting her head on the corners of the bed? 2. When did she start crawling out on her own? 3. Did you “sleep train her at all” 4. Do you leave any sort of light on in her room/how can she see at night? Sorry it’s A LOT of questions but i’m a first time mom and new to montessori
Love this floor bed set up. Nice to give a young kiddie, the chance to play or sleep when tired. Kids need a choice, I feel - instead of all these rules like 19.00 is bedtime or whatever. Sleep when tired and eat when hungry. That is what I do now being a newly retired pensioner. In fact, feel very relaxed, weight is good and my general disposition is am never stressed or moody.
Very cool! I have teens, but went to Montessori and love the methods. If I may say, watch flipping the mattress. It’s always good to have a waterproof mattress to protect costly mattresses. I realize some plastics are not great to sleep on, just know lots can happen (sickness) on those mattresses. 😉
This video is beautiful. I would have loved these ideas when my own children were tiny. I wanted to remind your viewers that while you didn't mention it, the dresser needs to be attached to the wall so that it's safe if the child should try to climb up the front. There are kits available to do that as well as YT videos showing diy methods. Anyway, it's all beautiful. Can't believe your baby is getting so big!!
So excited for this video! My story is so similar to yours. I learned about Montessori when my girl was a few months old and now she’s 10 months. I’m figuring out how to transition to a more Montessori style room for her myself!
Also I totally recommend the book Montessori at Home if you want any additional reading/resources. I read it on my kindle and had to buy the physical book because it was so beautiful and helpful!!
What a lovely Montessori room! Thanks for sharing. We used a trundle for my son's bedroom and took off the wheels, but I like the hack with the bedframe's extra sides. A little bit of extra security.
Gorgeous baby :) and beautiful room, I have a daughter who is now 2 years old and we also furnished her room with the same idea in mind, some second hand things, an old shelf from another room put on the floor with some baskets for toys, we do not have cameras so our chair needed to get out very soon. I also thought of those beds but I ended up choosing a coconut fibre matress on a tatami and puting a thick carpet on its side and it has been working very well. I have not made a lot of changes since she moved to her own room with 12 months so I think the idea of the Montessori style for kids rooms is also very practical and inexpensive Great idea of switching toys from time to time, need to do that myself
Omg your baby’s room is soo playful now, the look of the room has totally changed! Here in Italy the Maria Montessori is quite known especially in school, while I believe it should be applied at home first of all!
I really like this kind of videos, it gives me some inspiration for when I will be a mama bear some day and I am more and more curious about Montessori. I love the channel Un Soupçon De Rose which talks about Montessory and "positive parenthood", I'm not sure if that's the right word in english (it is a francophone channel).
Beautiful room. My daughter is six now but she’s still on a second hand handmade floor bed. We did/do Montessori/Waldorf home and home education. She loved the drop box and still plays with wooden figures. She loves her bed and as a constant spinner still in bed if she slides out she’s not going to hurt herself. Kitty Cotton also has a beautiful Montessori bedroom set up.
I've wondered about Lovevery, if they truly were sustainable and a good choice but haven't taken the time yet to research. With Montessori becoming more popular, it seems like more sources want to offer the style of toys but are not necessarily ethical. I like these style of videos, appropriate for my life right now. 😊
I really like their toys and while I do wish they were overall more transparent (for example there isn't a lot of info about the materials of the individual items in the play kit), they have some good sustainability aspects and the toys we've tried are high quality.
I wish I had heard about Montessori before I had children. This looks like a wonderful way to have a room set up for a baby. cribs always looked like cages to me. I think back a generation or two, parents had more children and it was hard to keep track of everyone, including pets. My brother was able to get out of any crib. I don't know how he survived that.
Great hack for the bed! How did you install the platform that the mattress sits on at the lower level? Did you need extra materials? Would love to have the instructions, thanks!
I am planning to buying the KURA for my 18mo and was looking for ideas on how to assembled it as a floor bed without the upper part, thanks so much. I think I will do the exact same thing.
I really like this video. You should do more videos on raising your little girl. Also curious how potty training is coming along? You mentioned in your first video about starting early and having a potty. My first baby is due December 1.
EC is going great now although there were definitely ups and downs in the process! She can sign "potty" now and probably goes in the potty around 80% of the time.
love the transformation, planning on doing that for my kids so thank you for the inspiration... would love to know what cameras you have used in the room though... thank you so much
Great video, amazing room. Could you please tell me how did you put the boards underneath the mattress in the kura bed? The instructions recommend the higher level but I love your hack and I wonder how this was made. Thanks a ton in advance.
hi! How did you install the platform that the mattress sits on at the lower level? Did you need extra materials? Would love to have the instructions, thanks!
Hi mama! I loved the video you posted. Would you mind sharing the camera you use in baby’s room? If you could both please? I loved the one that could view the entire room! If you shared it in the video I’m sorry I didn’t hear. Also couldn’t find in the comments.. thank you in advance!!
Hi I wonder where you get the touch and feel cards from? Very clear pictures and not too tacky design! I have been looking for it and can’t find something without borders like yours. Thank you!
How did you get the slats on the bottom like that? I’m putting this bed together now and the slats can only go on the top making the mattress too high for my little one. I’m trying to put them closer to the floor like yours. Did you have to drill new holes?
Do the length of the curtains not make you nervous? That’s literally the only thing i would even think to change, but i also know my daughter loves to pull on things
The romper is from Beya Made and the top from Hanna Andersson, you can see all my favourite sustainable baby/kids clothing brands here: mygreencloset.com/sustainable-organic-kids-clothes/ 🙂
That’s a German children’s book in the dresser 😊! Just found your channel and love how you redid the room! But also curios about the Biene Maja Book? Are you bilingual?
I love this video, planning to follow montessori with my 4month old. How big is the room. I have a 9 by 9 room and not sure whether the Kura bed will be too big for it. Does she just play in her room all day or you have a play area in your living room?
Her room is about 9 x 12 so it will fit, but you can also just do a mattress on the floor if you want to save some space. She also plays in the living room when we are in there or on the kitchen floor, but we don't really have designated play areas in those rooms. Hope that helps!
I wish we would have started with a floor mattress! What a great inspiration! Also, Those flashcards are great - do you have a link for them? I didn’t see one in the description. Thanks!
I really loved what you did to the room, I’m also doing my baby’s room Montessori. Could you show steps how you built the bed to be on the floor. I’ve been searching on how to turn kura bed into a floor bed but no luck. I don’t think I can figure it out on my own
is the mattress directly on the floor or elevated a bit? I keep seeing the KURA hack but we live with high humidity so trying to figure out how to keep the mattress up
Hello. Thank you so much for this video!i just got a kura and a 2 in 1 naturepedic and your post is just what I needed. Which 2 in 1 naturepedic mattress did you get? The trundle 6 inch version or 7 in? I got the 6 inch, but I’m worried now the 7 inch would be more comfortable.
Hi there! I always wondered what to do with drawers with the Montessori setup. Does your daughter try to open the drawers of the dresser at night and risk getting fingers stuck? Also where did you get that stick on baby mirror?! Thanks for your video!
The room is lovely. Im also doing Montessori at home with my baby girl and trying to move from a cot to a floor bed. She moves so much and started to stand up so love you idea about adding the extra bar. Could I ask how did you added the bar? did you just buy a piece of wood from a Hardware store and screw the bar to the bed frame?
Do you have a change table? Or where do you change her? I'm planning a makeover for my son's room to make it montessori friendly as well but I dont feel ready to let go the changing table so Im looking for options
Do you have a link to instructions for the Ikea Kura Hack? We cannot understand how to make the mattress stay low without putting it directly on the floor, which I do not want.
I don't unfortunately, but you have to swap the pieces where the rails attach to the bottom. It did require cutting a few of the connecting plug pieces smaller.
Love this video so much! Very enlightening. This was actually my inspiration to get the Kura (second hand as well) as a floor bed for my 9 month old that I will be setting up soon! For the mattress- did you get the standard twin or twin trundle? I definitely want an organic mattress and this seems to be the best choice!
Oh that's great! I got the standard twin, however in hindsight I think the trundle would have been a better option and wish I had gone with that one! Both for ease of crawling on and off, and the lower mattress would also mean the sides of the Kura are higher to better stop rolling off.
@@MyGreenCloset yes I agree! I am hoping it will keep him from rolling and feel more like his crib. Do you still like the mattress and did you notice an odor? The mixed reviews are holding me back because it is pricey and difficult to return so I want to be sure.
@@kaylazinkhon6339 I don't recall any smell at all! We do still really like it! The waterproof side isn't the comfiest feeling with the protective layer (but it would be the same with any waterproof protection) but the other side is really nice. It also seems to be well made and I can see us using it for a very long time so it definitely feels worth the investment.
@@MyGreenCloset ohhh good! Yes, his crib mattress is waterproof too so I imagine it will be a similar feel. Thanks for your reply! I think I'm going to go for it! ☺️
Where did you get your mattress? Could you link it? I'm having the hardest time finding a good twin mattress that will work for baby from day one (after bassinet/ basket)
I hated the bed frame. Too many sharp edges. Better to get a 4 inch or less mattress and let them roll out of the bed. They put themselves back in the bed eventually. Also, they can climb on the edges and fall on their head, hurting their neck.

I love that Montessori is that it is so child focus. Things are at their level instead of at the adult level
Yes, I love that the children can access things on their own! We had this tall shelf in the room before which only clicked later that it's fine for an adult but not very functional for a child.

I don't have a baby, nor do I plan on ever having one, but this was so interesting.

True, I have same experience with the relationship between teacher and students.

This video is so wholesome. It gives me hope that someday I will have my life together and maybe will be able to have a family. Thanks.

There is a little mirror at the side of the dresser :)
That is really amazing thinking about your baby learning and exploring. Never heard of having a floor bed for a child. Very beautiful put together 😊
A lovely room. She’s adorable and lucky to have such aware and loving parents. 💗
Aw thanks!

This is so interesting! Thank you for sharing such a personal moment with us x
Great to see you on the Montessori journey! It's the best method out there, wish my parents had known about it earlier
Your hair looks amazing! Best style I've ever seen on you.
So nice and cozy 😊 Please-please make sure the dresser is secured to the wall!
I should have mentioned that it is!
Die Biene Maja 😍🐝
I love how this is set up but those curtains are an entanglement hazard if she were to yank them down on top of her! Just a concerned momma!!!
I grew up Montessori and now I’m a scientist lol so I guess it’s effective!
Great hack for the bed! How did you install the platform that the mattress sits on at the lower level? Did you need extra materials? Would love to have the instructions, thanks!
wonder the same.
beautiful and affordable
We use the montressori theroy, bubs is 8 month... he hated the cot. Now we can get 10 hr sleeps
I am planning to buying the KURA for my 18mo and was looking for ideas on how to assembled it as a floor bed without the upper part, thanks so much. I think I will do the exact same thing.
Can you make a video about finding sustainable/ethical fabric for people who sew?
I have a blog post about that :) mygreencloset.com/eco-ethical-fabrics-yarns/
I like Lovevery brand, but they are pricey. I buy a few Montessori toys on Amazon, Manhattan toys, Pacifier.com and tender leaf also
Soooooo beautiful 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 with the curtains be careful
I really like this video. You should do more videos on raising your little girl.
Also curious how potty training is coming along? You mentioned in your first video about starting early and having a potty.

Great video, amazing room. Could you please tell me how did you put the boards underneath the mattress in the kura bed?
The instructions recommend the higher level but I love your hack and I wonder how this was made.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Really helpful! Could you explain how did you fit the small ladder step at the bottom of the frame which is left open for stairs? 2:55
Love this!!
Wow love this!!!
I enjoyed this a lot! Can I ask what youtubers you enjoy?
They're linked in the description! 🙂
This Family Thing has nice Montessori videos on UA-cam.
this is amazing!!!!
I was wondering what the dimensions for the additional boards were that you added to the bed? This is such a lovely idea thank you for sharing.
hi! How did you install the platform that the mattress sits on at the lower level? Did you need extra materials? Would love to have the instructions, thanks!
Thanks for the great advice. I'm looking for a rug for my daughter to play on. Are you able to link where you got your rug from?
Hi mama! I loved the video you posted. Would you mind sharing the camera you use in baby’s room? If you could both please? I loved the one that could view the entire room! If you shared it in the video I’m sorry I didn’t hear. Also couldn’t find in the comments..
thank you in advance!!
Did you follow a specific guide to lower the platform on the Kura bed to make it a floor bed?
Die Biene Maja 😃 why do you have that book in German? 🙂 (if you have mentioned that, Im sorry I am not familiar with all your videos jet)
I used to live in Germany, but it's actually an old book from my grandmother. I really like the illustration on the cover so put it up in the room.
could you please share the link for the long thin pillow? Is that to protect the child from hitting their head on the frame? Thanks!
Hi I wonder where you get the touch and feel cards from? Very clear pictures and not too tacky design! I have been looking for it and can’t find something without borders like yours. Thank you!
They came with a Lovevery playkit - I have it linked in the description.
How did you get the slats on the bottom like that? I’m putting this bed together now and the slats can only go on the top making the mattress too high for my little one. I’m trying to put them closer to the floor like yours. Did you have to drill new holes?
Have you updated your daughter's bedroom since this?
Do the length of the curtains not make you nervous? That’s literally the only thing i would even think to change, but i also know my daughter loves to pull on things
Did you have a link to the montessori hack for the Kura? Thank you!
I love it!! Where is the mirror from? Many thanks!
I love the makeover, can you tell me where I can find the flash cards
Where can I find her outfit, it’s the cutest !!
The romper is from Beya Made and the top from Hanna Andersson, you can see all my favourite sustainable baby/kids clothing brands here: mygreencloset.com/sustainable-organic-kids-clothes/ 🙂
That’s a German children’s book in the dresser 😊! Just found your channel and love how you redid the room! But also curios about the Biene Maja Book? Are you bilingual?
What is the hack to add slats to the bottom?
I love this video, planning to follow montessori with my 4month old. How big is the room. I have a 9 by 9 room and not sure whether the Kura bed will be too big for it. Does she just play in her room all day or you have a play area in your living room?
Her room is about 9 x 12 so it will fit, but you can also just do a mattress on the floor if you want to save some space. She also plays in the living room when we are in there or on the kitchen floor, but we don't really have designated play areas in those rooms. Hope that helps!
I wish we would have started with a floor mattress! What a great inspiration! Also, Those flashcards are great - do you have a link for them? I didn’t see one in the description. Thanks!
They are part of the Lovevery play kit :)
Hi! Very interesting and informative video! Where did you get the open shelve unit from? What's it's name ?
And the plug covers?
Thanks!
I really loved what you did to the room, I’m also doing my baby’s room Montessori. Could you show steps how you built the bed to be on the floor. I’ve been searching on how to turn kura bed into a floor bed but no luck. I don’t think I can figure it out on my own
So cool, thanks for sharing. Coul I know were the courtins are from?
is the mattress directly on the floor or elevated a bit? I keep seeing the KURA hack but we live with high humidity so trying to figure out how to keep the mattress up
Yes it's on the same slats
can you tell me what size of the mattress you bought ?
Hello. Thank you so much for this video!i just got a kura and a 2 in 1 naturepedic and your post is just what I needed. Which 2 in 1 naturepedic mattress did you get? The trundle 6 inch version or 7 in? I got the 6 inch, but I’m worried now the 7 inch would be more comfortable.
Hi there! I always wondered what to do with drawers with the Montessori setup. Does your daughter try to open the drawers of the dresser at night and risk getting fingers stuck? Also where did you get that stick on baby mirror?! Thanks for your video!
The room is lovely. Im also doing Montessori at home with my baby girl and trying to move from a cot to a floor bed. She moves so much and started to stand up so love you idea about adding the extra bar. Could I ask how did you added the bar? did you just buy a piece of wood from a Hardware store and screw the bar to the bed frame?
Yeah exactly that! We just sanded a piece of wood and screwed it in.
@@MyGreenCloset thank you. That was a great idea 😊 Do you remember by any chance the sizes?
No, but if you search there are diagrams with the Kura's dimensions
@@MyGreenCloset will have a look Tks 😊
Do you have a change table? Or where do you change her? I'm planning a makeover for my son's room to make it montessori friendly as well but I dont feel ready to let go the changing table so Im looking for options
Do you have a link to instructions for the Ikea Kura Hack? We cannot understand how to make the mattress stay low without putting it directly on the floor, which I do not want.
I don't unfortunately, but you have to swap the pieces where the rails attach to the bottom. It did require cutting a few of the connecting plug pieces smaller.
How many inches is the mattress?
Love this video so much! Very enlightening. This was actually my inspiration to get the Kura (second hand as well) as a floor bed for my 9 month old that I will be setting up soon! For the mattress- did you get the standard twin or twin trundle? I definitely want an organic mattress and this seems to be the best choice!
Oh that's great! I got the standard twin, however in hindsight I think the trundle would have been a better option and wish I had gone with that one!
Both for ease of crawling on and off, and the lower mattress would also mean the sides of the Kura are higher to better stop rolling off.
@@MyGreenCloset yes I agree! I am hoping it will keep him from rolling and feel more like his crib. Do you still like the mattress and did you notice an odor? The mixed reviews are holding me back because it is pricey and difficult to return so I want to be sure.
@@kaylazinkhon6339 I don't recall any smell at all!
We do still really like it! The waterproof side isn't the comfiest feeling with the protective layer (but it would be the same with any waterproof protection) but the other side is really nice. It also seems to be well made and I can see us using it for a very long time so it definitely feels worth the investment.
@@MyGreenCloset ohhh good! Yes, his crib mattress is waterproof too so I imagine it will be a similar feel. Thanks for your reply! I think I'm going to go for it! ☺️
what type of cameras do you use
What about when they get older ? I take it you need to buy another bed frame again ?
No, you can either raise it off the floor to how it originally is supposed to be, and this bed frame also converts to a bunk bed.
@@MyGreenCloset ahh fantastic thank you ! I've only started delving into the Montessori world and I'm loving it, great video. Thank you.
I love your wallpaper. Where did you order that?
It's from Farrow & Ball :)
I am looking for the nature Pedic mattress link if you have one.
It's linked in the description :)
Where did you get your mattress? Could you link it? I'm having the hardest time finding a good twin mattress that will work for baby from day one (after bassinet/ basket)
It's linked in the description! :)
Do you know the exact length of the wood rail you added to the bed?
I don't, but if you search "IKEA Kura measurements" there are diagrams with all the dimensions. :)
How come you have a German Book „Die Biene Maya“?
Where did you get the Mattress?
It's linked in the description box :)
I hated the bed frame. Too many sharp edges. Better to get a 4 inch or less mattress and let them roll out of the bed. They put themselves back in the bed eventually. Also, they can climb on the edges and fall on their head, hurting their neck.
How old is your daughter?
Pls how old is your baby?
Just turned 1 year
@@MyGreenCloset oh thank u for ur reply my girl just turned one also and I was thinking of doing this for her thanks for this.
