It's a theme I blog about often here at Ohdeedoh - incorporating children into your space. Although I do marvel at my friends' homes where the childrens' things are never seen, my ideal is to have our home reflect the way we actually live, which is with little ones underfoot in every room.

If you love your job, it's incredibly satisfying to share what you do with your child. Jennifer even went so far as to carve out space for her daughter in her workspace so they can create side by side. She shares: I run a letterpress printing and design studio, and my daughter Jo is very often in the studio with me.

A dedicated playroom is a thing of envy for many. At the same time it can become a design curse. Nobody wants Romper Room in their own home. More

Jenn has all the playroom essentials here for her daughter with room for art making, playing cooking, a child-height mirror and more. She shares: When designing Kaitlynn's playroom, I wanted it to be stimulating, educational, but above all, FUN!
