I love children's rooms. Though we have only been blessed with boys right now, our hopes are to one day adopt little girls.
I am not sure what it is, but I think its capturing their innocence, love of life, and imagination that makes children's spaces my favorite area to design. When I design a room I always ensure that there is at least one "kid-zone" within each space, even if the design is geared for adults. Children need a place within each room that welcomes them and says, "I love you and you are accepted here. Come in a play for a while."
My kitchen has a coat rack where miniature stainless steel pots and pans hang. A vintage Fisher price table top stove rests on a child sized desk. My boys come in and have picnics or pretend to cook while I am fixing dinner and I love having them next to me!

| This sandbox is great...not only is it deep enough for digging, it is also less desirable for a neighborhood cat. |
I really like this idea for my boys room. Its a great use of space without it feeling stuffy, often the way I think bunk beds make a room feel. I can see wonderful shelves above each bed for each one of their personal belongings.

This is a terrific idea for a playhouse. The book rack next to the bed is a wonderful way to spend a lazy, breezy summertime afternoon!

I love this creative spin on a toy box. Its soft edges make it toddler friendly and the whimsical design add that extra touch of creative punch!

| I love the shoe cubby-turned car station! What a great idea for all of those cars that don't seem to fit into any bin or toybox neatly. |

| I love the zoning with wording, encouragement to play and create, and the overall feeling of this room. The entrance to the deck is a perfect addition. |

The fabric banner, mirror and laundry rack add vintage whimsical cheer. The laundry rack is a fabulous way to add extra closet storage: its functional and full of fun!

Framed children's artwork thrown into the mix of "finer" art...what a great message to your children!
