Incorporated The shelves are painted mdf. They were built custom for this project. But you could get any shelf like this from Ikea, the Container Store and paint them your favorite color.
Leaving aside the all-blue paint treatment (whoa!), leaning kids' art along a ledge such as this shows it off in a casual, graphic way and makes it easy to rotate regularly. In such a bold space, too many vivid artworks might have overpowered each other. Instead, the brighter ones are balanced by more restrained selections — a great tactic with any collection.
From the modular sofa (previous photo), you can look up at the custom sky-blue media unit, spray painted to give it the look of a rich lacquer finish. The shelves showcase the kids' art and book collections, while drawers corral loose items and toys.Paint: Utah Sky, Benjamin Moore
