Little Roamers Room
Posted on Wed, 13 Jan 2016 by midcenturyjo
Love, love, love this boy’s bedroom by San Francisco-based Regan Baker Design. Which is strange because Kim and I do not have any children and kid’s rooms never seem to float our boat. Maybe it’s the vintage wallpaper by Diego Giacometti for Clarence House or the cuter than cute pillows and stuffed animals from Coral & Tusk. All I know is that’s packed full of fun and style.
Westhampton beach playhouse
Posted on Tue, 12 Jan 2016 by KiM
The New York based design team of Chango & Co. continue to blow me away with their spectacular spaces. This home is by far one of my favourites. It helps that it is a beach house. You can pretty much get away with anything at a client’s second home – like pineapple wallpaper and REALLY bright yellow paint. The tricky part is having “fun” designing a giant five bedroom beach house that needs a major overhaul (and a lot of minor construction) on a ten-week timeline. So with complete creative freedom, but very little time, we set out to design a home that would serve as an escape from the city and the restraints of apartment living for this young couple and their three beautiful (and very playful) children. From the front porch, this home looks like any other house in the quiet family neighborhood that surrounds it. When the door you enter reveals a banana yellow interior, the foyer leads to a formal dining room with pineapple patterned walls, then into a candy-colored kitchen… you know you’re in the midst of people who know how to have fun. Each room was crafted around the vividly colorful personalities in the family to encourage as much unrestrained joy & unconfined playtime as possible and the end result is a celebration of whimsy & lightness of spirit… a true playhouse for kids, big and small alike.

Plant wallpaper
Posted on Wed, 18 Nov 2015 by KiM
Yesterday I shared a round-up of photos featuring plants as decor. I understand that some people don’t have a green thumb and plants aren’t really their thing….so how about plant wallpaper? Bringing the outdoors in but keeping it inanimate. Because you can’t kill wallpaper!

This bright and colourful family home has me wondering which hero feature I love the most. The bold and vibrant pinks and blues that add personality and drama or the knockout use of wallpaper. I think I’ll pump for both. Layers and layers of loveliness. Fitzroy House by interior designer Kate Challis.
