apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Inspiration: Red, White and Blue

Forget about the color. Look at that floor!

Thanks for the link kimmiller! I have been searching for pics of modern kid's rooms. I mostly just come across traditional pics of kids' rooms online. The RW&B above and in the modern kid's rooms does work without being patriotic or nautical. Very nice!

thanks all for comments:)
I wish those pic were taken upcoming weekend - I'd have a new desk and lamp in my "office" space.

spinsLPs - I like the floor too - my fiance renovated it (it's 50 years old, the floor, not my bf)

I like using red and blue, along with yellow, but add white and black elements along with wood in the medium tones, such as teak or similar to give a bit of a sophisitcated element to it.

Nice job.

I can almost stand this, and having "been there" for the Bicentennial in 1976, I never want to see red-white-and-blue decor again, so that's a compliment!
