Adult friendly kiddie spaces

When you think of children's rooms you very rarely end up with a minimal look in mind but these spaces created by Lily Z Design mixes the perfect amount of color and function that would work for anyone, adults included. It seems many new parents are struggling giving up their adult spaces for those brightly colored plastic toys and themed everything, but not here. I love the use of natural woods and color schemes that don't give you a head ache, just because you have little ones running around doesn't mean you need to give up your style! I am also a huge fan of hanging partitions, it not only creates additional space within a room but it also gives you a way to close of a bit of space if you don't want to see the clutter. A win win in my book!

Le petit elefant

I just love these adorable prints from Le Petit Elefant.  Printed from original watercolor and ink, artist Genevieve Santos paints a colorful and whimsical world filled with child like fantasies.  These would be perfect for any child's room, although Clink, that adorable sketched drawing (4th from the top) would be simply too cute on any (my) desk.
