Fantastic house. I'm tired of AT readers assuming that one can't have good taste while having a high income. I start to feel like I'm not "cool" because I make money!
I think this home demonstrates an elegant restraint. I love the neutral colors and the fun kids rooms. Sure, I think all of the dwell textiles in the bedrooms have become a bit ubiquitous, but the woman was a founder of Dwell studio! I love how she used nearly every dwell pattern all at once.

My daughter slept in our bed off and on until she was 5 years old. The first step towards her own bed was to put her single bed right up next to our King-sized. It was the best thing we ever did. There was plenty of room for everyone and she could roll over to me whenever she needed to. It was so warm and cozy. I think my best family memories are of my hubby, daughter, and newborn baby all sleeping peacefully together. There is no greater happiness.
I think the key to a successful "family bed" is that the kids know that they are always welcome in your bed. I know the family bed was the right choice for us. We now have a confident 5 year old who sleeps happily in her own room and tells me to leave when I want to stay and cuddle to long! She wanted to sleep in her own room when we decorated it together. Bed time is a happy time in our house. No fear. No fights.

I love the brown floral fabric on the dresser. Is it a blanket? where did you find it?
