Just because your child is a co-sleeper doesn't mean he or she doesn't deserve an attractive place to play and read. Clarity agrees: We rent a turn of the century farmhouse on Fidalgo Island in Northwest WA. Although Caspian still spends most nights in our room, I wanted him to have a bright, charming space to call his own.
The studio for my plush business (Friends of Socktopus) is upstairs as well, so he can play and I can work at the same time. He is three years old, so naturally this room looks like a hurricane hit it most of the time. The sweet toddler bed was built by some friends, and the cloud fabric panels on the ceiling were painted by another friend. I made the quilt on his bed while he was in utero. Nothing in this room was bought new, except for the seahorse lamp from Ikea. Caspian and I are champion thrift shoppers.
Thanks Clarity and Caspian!






Nomade Express Slee...
I love the letter flash cards. Any idea on who makes them?
They are done by a wonderful artist, here is her Etsy shop:

She designed the cards for Michaels stores, and I'm not sure if they're still available- I bought these about 2 years ago.
This is a lovely room. And I love that toddler bed. Lucky Caspian! (And I love his name, too. After Prince Caspian?)
For me, he was named for the Caspian Sea, because I love maps. For my husband, though, it was totally after the Narnia books. It was neat to find a name that had meaning for both of us.
Dreamy room :) Caspian is a lucky boy!
Love the name Caspian! I also love those flashcards!

I love this room! I adore the bed - wow! Love the flash cards and the overhead clouds - how relaxing!
I love Jenn Ski's designs. The same animals from the flashcards are in her line of K & Co. scrapbook papers from last year, and I use those to make mobiles in my etsy shop. They are always my best sellers!
Love the green elephant print, too.
Great room. :)
those lil chairs are soooo cute.
What a wonderful room! I love everything in it...especially those clouds! And that bed is so cute... the socktopus link doesn't work though :(
Hi this is clarity, sorry the Socktopus link doesn't work. Here's my etsy shop:

I read title of this post and felt a gush of wonderful emotions. I grew up by the Caspian sea, in a city called Baku. My summer days were spent at various summer houses along the shores of the Caspian. So glad to see that you named your child after the Caspian sea! With kind regards,
