Designing a nursery is easy. There is a ton of choice, and let’s face it, babies don’t really notice their rooms.

Decor gets more complicated for children and teens. Kids need a space that reflects their personality and style, but without compromising the taste of their parents. Which is why it came as great news that PB Teen now ships internationally.

The PB stands for Pottery Barn, and the stock reflects that: stylish and reasonably priced. The site sells great bedding and bathroom accessories but the study spaces are probably our favourite.

Now you won’t feel bad for sending them to their room. —ASI

Proms, grads and high school dances are stressful enough for teens, but throw in a natural disaster and who knows how the youth will react.

Toronto visual artist and performer, Kirsten Johnson brings her humorous show Prom Storm to town tomorrow. The series of paintings, shadow boxes and video depict the confusion of adolescence with the unpredictability of the weather, highlighted by six large oil paintings of teens at a prom during a hurricane.

Johnson is no stranger to the study of human behaviour in tense situations: her previous work included cat-fighting flight attendants and geishas.

We’re all for a little teen angst, just as long as no one is channeling Carrie.
