Sticks and Stars

Last night I hit a moment of complete and total inspiration as to how my boys’ room should be set up. I’ve been struggling with a) how to include the huge amount of crap that needs to be included while making it look cohesive instead of just overwhelmingly cluttered, b) how to make it fun with extra bits I always dreamed of when I was a kid, and c) how to make it practical, with the kinds of work and play spaces my boys need. And of course, all of this in a 10′ x 10′8″ room. But last night, as I was tossing and turning and mulling, it all started to come together, and by this morning I was madly drawing layouts when I should have been working.

I won’t bother to try to describe the end result — except to say that it includes a circus tent! — but I will say that my hope is that it provides them a space that is colorful and energetic, but not too overwhelming to their sensitive little senses. Solid color without a lot of variation (except the tent of course) and lots of white, I think, will be key.

I think it will be an awesome room and I can’t wait to do it up and show you all!
