LOOK!!! Modern Children's furniture and Accessories

I love seeing children’s rooms, especially if they include fun and dynamic furniture or accessories. This large (40" long) Sopwith Camel replica-model airplane would bring a fantastic charming touch to any kid's room. Available here.

Stacking Throne is both space saving and innovative.

Claire Anne O'brien's knitted stools are so modern yet cozy.

Alex desk comes with an optional dry-erase board to make homework easier.

John Golden's digital art is not only cute but also reminds the little ones of good behavior. Just my kind of art.

Not too baby rooms

I'm looking forward to the days when Lucas grows into a little boy and it’s time to upgrade his crib to a child’s bed. Kids rooms can be exiting to work on.

Give me Pink

Let the sunshine in

After spending a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and giving thanks for all the great things in our lives, we enjoyed a delicious meal and the good company and snacking around every time we go into the kitchen. Sometimes the simple fact of being in good company is the greatest reason to be grateful. I want to thank you personally for being my amazing readers and for being with me all this long. I thought that these two spaces evoke an atmosphere like the one expected on a Thanksgiving weekend. Amazing how two different spaces from two separate homes can share the same ambiance all due to the amount and position of natural light coming in. I like how these two spaces show the importance of natural light and how it can create the appropriate atmosphere, two main elements to consider when selecting materials and color to decorate a home. Usually warm colors rather than pastels work better in these types of rooms with strong afternoon sunlight.

A life in colors

Kids really know how to enjoy life and that usually comes across in their fondness for colors. Wouldn't kids feel in heaven having a room that has everything they usually crave? Cabin-like-bunk beds and lots of color; What else would they ask for? Maybe skipping school...

Now, this kitchen... I just love the striped sink skirt. I can't picture this kitchen without it. You know my obsession for stripes.

Why a designer?

We could find many answers by looking at this simple but carefully planned stunning room. For instance functionality, comfort, scale and of course beauty. Image via here.

Sisters equality

My sister and I used to share our room growing up. It wasn't as fancy as one of these impeccable designed rooms but I used to love it, she not so much.

Shared Rooms

What a great way of making better use of narrow or awkward spaces. Notice in the bottom picture how the ceiling was customized to frame the beds to define the space better and make the room feel cozier. I love the contrast between the pink fabrics and teak wood in the top picture.
