I remember some of these rooms for house tours. They are ALL wonderful in my opinion and with a tweek or two, they can quickly turned into an 'adult' bedroom or leave as is.
My favorite are the ones with twin beds. They have a warmer sense to them when you share a room with a sibling. Maybe because I did...
I envy the little one who sleeps in that room with that one large picture window. What a view.
My favorite is #9! The perfect room for an adventurous boy OR GIRL.
i kick myself, weekly, if not daily, for not buying the affordable version of the Girard "love" pillow in the first picture when it was at urban outfitters.
The first room makes me think it is the eighties again, and not in a good way. The stars on the ceiling, all of the upholstery, and especially the grasscloth on the walls make me cringe!
14 is perfection. It reminds me so much of the bedroom that I grew up in! Made me all nostalgic now...
love the little panton S chairs :)
