For our son's "Big Boy" room, we wanted an eclectic mix of old and new. We scoured our local antique shops for stuff that screamed "All Boy!" to us.
Industrial cool doesn't need to be confined to just grown up spaces.
Look at how wonderfully these wire baskets work in Silas' Poised for Adventure Room. If your baby or kids space is a
little too fluffy and soft, why not consider adding some wire baskets
to your bookshelf, or like Lindsay, to the wall?

On a scale of 1 to 10, shopping for a filing cabinet for the home office falls somewhere in the realm of "2" and "Zzzzz". But Poppin's West 18th File Cabinet is different, thanks to its friendly rounded corners and bright and colorful fronts, adding a splash of vibrant personality to a normally mundane piece of office furniture. Yes, there are also two utility drawers, locks, sliding floor glides, and a larger hanging file drawer, but it's really all about the design here...file it under "fun"! More

I fell in love with Charley Harper's prints a couple years ago when I read a Todd Oldham book called Hand Made Modern.

MoreQ: So, form and function are butting heads in our boy + girl apartment living room.The room looks squished, with lots of seating, and enough storage for all our collective "stuff". But out of necessity, the room is rearranged regularly to accommodate my boy's gaming needs. I feel bad for "putting the furniture back" when clearly the problem is with the function of the arrangement...
Last weekend marked Boston's first SoWa Open Market of the season: the outdoor marketplace was packed as artists and makers of all types set up tents to display their wares. Though gorgeous sunshine may have discouraged people from visiting the adjacent artists' lofts open for the neighborhood's Art Walk, I made sure to stroll through, and left feeling inspired by their creative spaces. A browse through our Apartment Therapy archives yields provides a glimpse into even more inspiring places where art is made.
