Even if you're not brave enough to let you or your kids doodle on the furniture, you can get a similar lighthearted effect with this hot pink chair, stitched with whimsical scribbles...

The Doodle chair is from Swedish design trio Marten Claesson, Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune for Tacchini. Via Elle Décoration

And these Suvetar sheets from Marimekko -- with scribbled in gray that look like pencil marks or black that look like pen -- are on sale at CB2.
