A question that comes up a lot on Ohdeedoh is whether to sequester your children's toys in their bedrooms or store them in other areas of your home. But what if your child doesn't have a bedroom? My son sleeps in our office and while we keep his books there, his toys occupy our living room which, in essence, has become his play room.

Indeed, she shares this lovely space with her daughters where all occupants are free to pursue the things that make them happy be it coloring with crayons or sewing up pillows.

When we paid a visit to the Dastrups' here in Kansas City, it was sheer bliss to photograph their home. Usually when we shoot homes with children it can be tricky to not have them hamming it up in every photo we take, but not this time. Tuli and Elijah stayed in their step-down playroom happy as could be and we don't blame them one bit — have a look around! More
