Emory’s room is featured on Ohdeedoh today.

It has also started quite the discussion on the age appropriateness of the room.

I tend to lean towards bright colors, bold patterns, and whimsical touches in childrens rooms, but I understand that it is not everyones cup of tea.

What about you?

What’s your design style for a kids room?

 My chair printables!

Do you see them?

 This bedroom was recently completed by one of my readers in Australia.

I love every detail.

And I am so flattered that she would include my chair printables.

I am so glad she was willing to share her room with us.

It is clean, simple, and beautiful.

Also, my desk is painted!

I went bold…

And it is perfect.

More on that tomorrow!

Last week I got an exciting email from a previous online design client.

She has been working hard at transforming her living room and sent me some after pictures.

Remember last May when I created this online design for her?

Well she took the design and ran with it.

Here is the room before:

And after:

Is that the same room?

She found some great deals at her local HomeGoods, like the rug, and I love how they work in the room.

And can you believe that she bought those chairs for $30.00 off the side of the road? What a deal!

She also quickly recovered the ottomans to use while she saves up for the coffee table.

How talented is she?

I am thrilled with how the bookcase and fireplace turned out. 

Building over the fireplace niche really added a custom look.

And adding trim and beadboard to the bookcase transformed it.

I love seeing after pictures, best part of my job!

Remember my quest for a new desk?

Well I found one.

Not exactly what I was looking for, but I think it will work.

I plan on following Jenny’s recommendation and use Rustoleums Protective Enamel oil based paint.

And my faux bamboo chairs are finally going to get some paint as well.

I am so excited but tired just thinking about it!
