Train-themed room inspires dreams

    ORDER REPRINT →

September 20, 2008 12:00 AM

It's all aboard for bedtime and playtime in this child's bedroom. When it's time for sleep, scramble up a stack of suitcases from world traveling adventures and enter the caboose, where pillows and cozy blankets will inspire dreams of future treasure hunting in foreign lands. You'll know you're on the right carriage to “Ride the Rails” when you see Williamsburg Valley Railroad, named after the owner of this bedroom. Be sure to check the schedule first, though – it's posted on the blackboard.

For keeping track of daily tasks like homework and magazine reading, there's even a compact office with desk, bookshelves, and storage.
