Bunk Room Friday - Nautical Glamour

I know I promised more shots of the nursery from yesterday and they will come in a post this weekend...sorry I had to stay with my traditional bunk room Friday.

This room was designed by Joy Tribout Interior Design.  This bunk room successfully combines functionality and nautical glamour with a whimsical flair.  I mean how could you not be entertained by that pirate ship chandelier?  The slight pops of green are also wonderful - a la Viceroy Hotel.  The design of the room successful makes the space feel open even with four large millwork dominated beds.  This is definitely one of my favorites.

Sneak Peek - Modern Boy's Nursery

Here is a little sneak peek into a little boy's nursery which I recently completed...

I'll share the rest of the photos tomorrow.

Treehouse Bunk Bed

Seriously a Treehouse bed?  What could be cooler than that? Too bad it ships from the UK.  I'd actually like to see this more in a playroom than a bedroom for an added touch of whimsy and an extra place to sleep for overflow of guests. Your house would be the talk of the sleep overs!

Crushing Chinoiserie

Chinoiserie has been a long-time favorite of mine.  At first thought it might seem a bit strange to use it in children's decor but because of the playful nature of the pattern it works perfectly. Here are a few examples of ways to bring it into your child's decor:

Wallpaper

I think if you want an all over room look go for wallpaper in this motif. A white background is more subtle.

And a colored is more bold.

Fabric:

Or just bring it in as a fabric on a headboard or pillow.

Bunk Room Friday

It is amazing how quickly Friday rolls around during a holiday week.  Well I apologize for the lack luster posts this week.  My client work is pulling me away from blogging.  But I had to at least get you a good bunk room to get you through the weekend.  

Atlanta Homes Magazine

Although these are not technically bunk beds, I consider any room with more than two beds in it a bunk room. These rustic platform beds should be relatively easy to replicate don't you think?  You just have to be very neat since you can't hide anything under the beds!

Those Serene Europeans

Why do European bedrooms always seem so serene?  

It must be the lack of color thatI find so hard to actually emulate in practice for children's rooms.  What is your preference bold color or monotone like this one above?
