Carla Pysh's Profile

If I have a third child... the first photo will definitely be my colour scheme. :-)

Amy Butler also has a pattern for poufs. I'm tempted to buy a sewing machine after spending a bit of time on her website!

I love it! If only all children were so lucky to experience original design first hand. I agree that this would not work without the abundance of light and the great artwork. I feel the urge the add larger and more ornate crown molding however...
For stimulation and development, all kids need to do is go out and to meet people.
Creating mediocre or ugly rooms under the guise that its good for the brain does nothing but teach a generation of little ones to grow up and buy generic suburban homes and decorate them with mass designed furniture. Who is to say that green is "better" than black? I'm also so happy to see original art in children's rooms as this is what the world needs more of.

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

The ceiling was a labour of love. First we tried to tape off a honeycomb pattern, but promptly gave up and painted the ceiling a solid yellow. Then we individually painted and cut the wood, glued it together in sections and then nailed it with a compressor to the ceiling - the process was 40 hours.

The rocker from eq3 is not something I would recommend. I spend most of the day in our living room and use our sectional or the womb chair for nursing.

Thanks again everyone.

Have you considered painting/stenciling on a modern logo on the back or seat instead of reupholstering it?

I would love to make my own pendant lamp similar to the "nut" sold at DWR. Any leads?

I really like the modern take on mouldings and the colour scheme. I think the room would benefit from a large light fixture in the room.

I think you should also paint the table white and do something with your bookcases. At least paint the back wall of the cabinet or wallpaper it. Or, paint the doors and outside of the bookcases so the inside stays white...

Hi, I have the link but it's at home. It was a UK site and sold for around 20 quid a roll.

How is beautiful storage unrealistic?

Use your imagination! There was a time when I came home with a beautiful man and my dress definitely didn't make it past the entrance...

jk... but it's just an ad, not a real home.
