Around the House...

Remember the mention of working on my 4th little moth's space [here]? Well, news of friends visiting over the weekend encouraged a push to put the crowning touches on some projects. My little Ethan's room was one of them. I sure hope he likes the finished space created with love just for him. 
Inexpensive striped fabric from Ikea dresses up the table tops when placed under a sheet of lucite.

That's my 'hurry up and take the darn picture' face... and on to the next project. Wish me luck! xo

  5. OK. I'm in AWE!! How and where are you able to find such perfect pieces and put them together so fabulously. I feel like I search and search and never seem to find the right thing for the right spot. You have an incredible gift and unsurpassed talent. I hope your son enjoys his special space.

    There's nothing like out-of-town visitors to speed up the process! :)

  19. The room is amazing. You did a great job.

  20. My warmest thanks to all of you... really. So now to answer a few things:
    the canvas is from homesense (homegoods in the u.s.) as is the little VW bus and the boxer book ends. The tokyo image is from a calender I bought years ago. The Eames replica office chair is from Costco. (I'm inherently frugal)
    Debby... don't tease me! You can come and babysit anytime! But I might just stay home. :)
    Dana, thanks! If I lived closer we'd shop together and find you the perfect things!
    But again, thanks to all of you for every lovely comment. They really do make my day. xo

    ReplyDelete
  43. So many more lovely comments... thanks everyone!! xo

  44. Oh, I love this room and I have 2 boys and in the process of re-doing their rooms. Ages 7 and 8. Do you mind me asking where you purchased the bed?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thanks Susan.
    The bed was purchased at Crate and Barrel and was called the Tattersol I believe. I'm pretty sure it's gone now but they do have a similar model called the Tate. Only difference being button tufting along the back. You may also want to try your luck at West Elm or CB2. Hope this helps. :) Erica
