I wanted to stimulate their imagination but not their 8 pm energy level. Here’s how it went down: the goals of this room, stylistically, were to make it feel playful, interactive for the kids, yet still Scandinavian and not too busy. What DIYs you ask? Oh just this simple (but not so simple to make) canvas, wood and leather tent and rolling shades. Yesterday you got the back story, with the before shots and process, and today you’ll get the reveal with an extra post later in the day (UPDATE: read all the details here) that breaks down the DIYs. But thanks to my very talented and hardworking team, we DID IT. You see, doing a kids room is usually FUN, but due to the challenges of this room (a wall of plumbing that needed to be accessible, awkwardly placed windows due to a roofline and the need for low twin beds, read more here) this room was full of design conundrums that were just more annoying than fun to think about. When Target said “We are launching a new Pillowfort collection, wanna do a makeover?” I thought to myself, this might be the ONLY way that I ever get this room done, and then when the very cute and fun product was aligned with what I wanted, I pitched this room back which gave me a deadline. Frankly, it was the most challenging room in the house. But unlike most love stories, it was born out of challenges. In case those photos don’t portray it properly, we love it. The kids’ camping/safari/pirate/astronaut-in short ADVENTURE-room in the mountain house is done and today is the REVEAL.
