Here’s the other end of the toss up from my last post.
Dark rooms all around.
How great is this first photo? This room (home?) won an Australian Interior Design Award – with good reason – the wood “panelling” on the walls is gorgeous!!
White Night
Feb 15 2012When we were building our house, it was a total toss up between painting our bedroom dark or keeping it white, like the rest of the house.
We went for dark, in the end. I have to say, I love it. It’s calm and cozy, but these white rooms make me realize why it’s not such an easy decision.

Double Up
Jul 12 2011We recently returned from a weekend in the Laurentians with my family. Forget the lake, the best part for my 3 1/2 year old daughter was getting to sleep in a bunk bed.
She would go crazy for this round up!

Kids Rooms: Beds
Sep 27 2010I went back and forth when trying to decide what type of bed to get our daughter. We ended up opting for a double – which seemed seriously extravagant at the time, but I admit I’m so happy we did. I love getting to lie with her at night before she goes to bed. I still haven’t decided what type of headboard to make, but that will come. Whether you go this route or choose a toddler bed or even something built-in, there are so many options for kids rooms. Maybe too many!
Below: Bed featured in Rum Magazine. This piece would work just as well in my room as it would in my daughter’s. I love the nook for books.
Below: Ubabub’s Nifty bed is another option designed for kids, but suited for any room. The Australian company markets their products as being ultra-safe, durable, and eco-friendly. Their products aren’t yet available internationally, but it sounds like they might be soon.
Below: Italian company Nume makes beautiful and unique products for kids. I’ve featured their toddler bed before, but here it is again along with a seriously fun canopy.
Below: You really can’t go wrong with Ikea for a kids room. The Malm bed does the trick quite nicely – it’s modern, simple, and the price is definitely right.
While I would choose straight lines for a headboard for my room, I’m likely going to add some detail for my daughter’s room. Here are some bits of inspiration:
