| This navy and pink room belongs to the youngest daughter — who was 3 at the time. Keim wanted to design a space that would reflect the girl's sweet and energetic personality and fit the style of the rest of the home. Keim and the girl's mother both fell in love with the wallpaper, which dictated the rest of the room's style and color palette. Bed: Seabrook Classics; lighting: Capiz Pendant, Pottery Barn |

| The client trusted Keim, so she was given a lot of room to experiment. While she played around with color and pattern, she carefully choose the furniture so that it would last each girl into her teens and beyond. "I would use those pieces!" she says. Bookcase: Bungalow 5; rug: West Elm; window coverings, bedding: custom |

| The family's 10-year-old daughter loves turquoise, so Keim chose a complementary shade of peachy-orange to help it stand out. "As with most jobs, I take their favorite color and make it the accent color," says Keim. "It usually pops more that way." A custom headboard, grass cloth wall covering, patterned pillows and classic lamps add visual texture and depth to the vibrant space. Bedding, bed, curtains: custom |

| The tree bookcase was especially exciting for the daughter, and she also loves the special pencil set on her desk. The vintage chair was reupholstered in scraps from Keim's showroom for an eclectic, one-of-a-kind piece. The girls share a large study, a playroom and closets outside of the bedrooms, so Keim didn't have to integrate a lot of storage or play space into these rooms.

| To stay on budget, Keim veered away from expensive upholstery and had pieces custom made or reupholstered by her seamstresses. She did quite a bit of the installation work herself, and her husband, an artist, repainted a few pieces of furniture. |
What 3 year old girl wouldn't want at least a dozen Disney princesses in her room - separate playroom or not. I'm not advocating Licensed furnishings but a young room can still be achieved without them. In 5 years' time are the girls not going to be sick of the sight of these rooms anyway, growing girls can be very fickle in their tastes.
I am also very concerned about safety issues with these rooms. The bookcase for the 3 year old is an invitation to climb, the bedside tables - how stable are they if climbed on. The lamp base is an invitation for tiny fingers to become jammed in. I would even be concerned about the lamps in the 10 year old's room, they look like glass to me, as absolutely beautiful as they are, definitely not for a child's room.
I won't even start on 3 year olds, white furniture and textas!!
I can definately see why the 3 lucky girls each loved the way these turned out.
