a room designed by the boy and his mum.

secret clubhouses.

this is for the kids. i read an article today that made me very upset about a mother and her 'philosphy of raising kids.' so then i found something to prove to me that mothers still love being mothers. the first photo this lady is a stylist in london. she takes her son and they go to flea markets and find 'treasures' for his home. an idea that i love. their room is their own sancutary, they should have a right to have design input. the rest of the photos are about a lady who did a 'secret clubhouse' under the dining room table for the whole weekend. then she puts it away and it comes out weeks or months later. i love this idea. i love this quote.
"Grownups never understand themselves, and it is tiresome for chilren to be always and forever explaining things to them." ~antione de saint-exupery

There is nothing better than an awesome fort in the dining room-sometimes when we were little we would keep them up for months and sleep in them every night.

i agree with it rooms being so personal for kids (and adults for that matter). I cannot wait to see what wonderful ideas Miss Bella will have for hers as she is sure to inherit her mother's amazing eye for beautiful things!
