Decorating question...
If you own stuffed animals, how do you incorporate them into the room (my bedroom for example) and still have a "grown up" and classy space? DH gave them to me so they are sentimental.

Re: Decorating question...
I think 1 or 2 are fine. DH works nights, and I keep a giant teddy bear on the bed. I need something to throw my arm over when no one else is there. I don't care that I'm in my 30s, and I don't think I'm childish for doing it.
So, yes, in my opinion, 1 or 2 Vermont Teddy Bears are fine to keep on the bed when it's made.

Re: Decorating question...
I keep some in my guestroom. I used to collect Boyds Bears (before they were sold in stores like Hallmark), so I have some on an armoire, in decorative boxes, on a decorative bicycle and I have 2 bears on the bed (one is a commemorative Secret Service bear from my cousin and another antique looking bear from FIL.)
I don't think they look too offensive. 
Some are in my DD's nursery and the rest are in a large storage tote in our basement. I figured I'd hang onto them for my kids.

Re: Decorating question...
Do you have something like a bookcase? My mom will take a something like a vermont teddy bear and use it as a bookend or something like that. She'll prop the bear at an angle. It looks very appropriate that way.

Re: Decorating question...
My night stand is in the corner so I have 3 on there. And then the rest of them are either in the spare room or on display in the basement. I have a lot that all mean something very special to me.
I see nothing wrong with having them out if they mean something to you. Seeing them reminds me of certain memories and brings a smile to my face. I would never put them away.

Re: Decorating question...
I am not embarrassed to admit that I am 28 and still have stuffed animals in my room. I have 2 bears from Build a Bear that DH and I made together when we were first dating. I keep those on my bed.
The rest are sentimantal and I keep them on the top of my armoir. I don't think my room looks childish at all.
