This is the coolest hangout for kids EVER! Although forget the kids...I could spend an entire day in here doing crafts and lounging on that sofa with some magazines. Gorgeous colours! Another masterpiece by Courtney Nye.
Don't you sometimes wish you could be a kid again? After seeing this play structure by the office of mcfarlane biggar, I ABSOLUTELY DO! sam + pam is a play structure for kids. The two-metre by two-metre twin structure is made entirely out of 2×3" spruce-pine-fir protected from the elements with a clear varnish. 'Sam + Pam' suggests new forms of play from the premise of doing "much with little". Inside the slatted three-storey towers are ladders for climbing up to various perches and protected spaces. Kids can clamber through the multiple entrances connected by a rope bridge and monkey bars. Outside one of the towers, a pole slide offers another escape route. (It was built as part of the Playhouse Challenge for charity)
"Another? Really? What on earth are you doing Jo?" I know, I know but I would have loved to have this room as a child. So cute. So stylish. I would have loved messing it up. By Twofold LA.
Neither Kim nor I have kids. It goes a long way to explaining why we don't feature children's rooms on Desire to Inspire. (Besides which Kim's twin sister Julia has a great kid's design blog the boo and the boy so why compete :) The trouble is when I came across Petite Vintage Interiors by Belinda Kurtz I started oohing and aahing and gushing. I stopped short of wanting to have a child. I'll just have me some of the gelati spotted, vintage fun instead. I wish my room had looked like this when I was little.
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. The end.
