It’s back to school time already, and for many of us, this year it’s back to Home School. When home schooling last spring, I discovered that having a set routine made the school day at home easier. Part of that routine is a dedicated study space for each of my kids. You might already have a home office that works perfectly, but if you don’t today we are sharing five clever home school study spaces that might work for you no matter the footprint of your home.

Affordable, Stylish Kids Furniture and Accessories from Walmart.com

 

I hope you have had a wonderful week so far. Today, I’m excited to share with you a little revamp I did to my daughter Ivy’s room while shopping on Walmart.com.

Ivy is a big reader. It’s definitely one of her favorite pastimes. I can often find her curled up on the couch, absorbed in a good book. It always makes me happy to see her reading. This is definitely a hobby I want to encourage, so when I was styling her room, I wanted to make sure to create a fun, cozy space for her to hang out and read.

CLIENT FAVORITES

Q+A: Kid Friendly Design

A question that I get from many clients is, “How do I get the fresh, clean high-end look I love but still have a kid-friendly home?” If you have a family, white couches and expenisve rugs might make you cringe and the idea of a stain-free, clutter-free space might make you laugh. Kids are hard on homes. But although you should factor them in to your design plans, kids don’t mean you have to sacrifice the look you love. Today I am sharing tips on creating a home the whole family can live in and love.

Use Washable, Stain Resistant Upholstery

A lot of the most popular pins on Pinterest use white furniture. It’s a look many of my clients love, but of course one hard to maintain with kids. If your heart is set on white, it is doable. Choose a slipcovered sofa in washable fabric. I love to use indoor/outdoor Perennials fabric that can easily be wiped down. Another option is to use a light colored natural linen fabric instead. It captures the fresh beachy feel of white, without the stress.

10 Fresh Kid Bedroom Inspirations

While we focus on designing the main spaces of our houses, our kids often get stuck in the nurseries they’ve outgrown or a room put together with all the furniture leftovers. Today, I’m sharing a roundup of bedrooms for the kids to help inspire a refresh. These spaces are fun and playful but with a hint of sophistication. They are fresh and pretty enough that I wouldn’t mind claiming one for myself! Take a peek.
