Remember the crib seersucker bedding from Annette Tatum that I am obsessed with for summer? Well she just came out with big-kid bedding in the same colors. If you are decorating a beach house anywhere, you must get some sets of these.

Bunk Room Friday
Bunk Room Friday is BACK!
I have no idea who designed this wonderful modern storage and sleep solution for a small space but I LOVE it and found it on Pinterest of course. Bookshelves and even a rod to hold coats (or play clothes) makes this a great bunk room.

Children's Rooms by Tiffany Eastman Interiors
Now I doubt these last two rooms are children's rooms but they very well could be with a few juvenile accessories. One thing that these rooms are lacking is artwork...maybe we just can't see it in the photos in her portfolio. I'm just not a bare wall kind of gal...

High vs Low - Kind of
I know that you are not really supposed to apologize in blog posts but I am going to anyways. I apologize for neglecting you all for the past few weeks and for the next few weeks to come. I'm slammed with work right now (loving every minute of it) and my poor blog is the lowest priority on the totem pole. I promise to have some great spaces to share with you soon and I'll try and post some of my favorite "pins" from Pinterest every week.
In the meantime, while on the search for some lighting for a client's home remodel, I ran across a pretty substantial High vs Low.
The high is the beautiful Faux Bois Floor Lamp from Oly. It comes in a few finish options and brings a nice touch of playful nature to any room. The price is $2100 so not in the average children's room budget.
The next step lower is the Blum Wood Floor Lamp by Stray Dog Designs. It too comes in an away of color choices and retails for $725 (1/3 of the price). Only bummer is that there is no bird!
If you like the look and can do with just a table lamp, the next option is the Sarah Lamp for $455. I have used it in a few projects and love its playful nature in girls' rooms.

Serena & Lily's Nursery in a Box
I'm glad that I'm not offering e-design or nursery-in-a-box design services at this moment because the big dogs Serena & Lily just stepped in to offer the service with a beautiful package for a reasonable price. For $495 you get a personalized nursery design (using mainly Serena & Lily products), an inspiration board, a signed copy of the Nursery Style book and a guideline with a $250 gift card to Serena & Lily to purchase the items in the design. A pretty good deal if you like the look of Serena & Lily.
To read more about the package visit Serena & Lily Nursery-in-a-Box
They also have their Pinterest account up and running with Baby Pinterest boards with themes such as Glam Nursery, Retro-Fun Nursery, Forever Pink and All Natural Nursery.
You may ask why in the world am I promoting other design services? Well since being with my kids is still my number one priority and I'm choosing to only work part time now (even though my husband argues that I'm really working more like full time hours since I work a lot at night). Therefore I can't accept all the client inquiries that I have at this moment and I like being able to offer my readers and followers other options for good design. So take a look at their new offering HERE.

Bunk Room Friday
I haven't posted a Bunk Room Friday in a while so I'll give you two today!
This room designed by a fellow Manhattan Beach resident Bethany Herwegh is an instant summer classic. You can't go wrong with crisp white paired with marine blue. Obviously a lot of custom millwork went into the design of this room but I love the use of space and secret nook up top. In case you were wondering the rug is from Serena & Lily. To see the rest of this house visit the blog House or Turquoise or pick up your newest issue of Country Living.
I also thought this full over a full was an interesting design. Another custom piece designed by another California group called Real Rooms Design. I like the small desk at the end of the bed and the functional placement of the FLOR tiles. I'm personally seeing more of a demand for bunk beds and bunk beds with a full option below. If you have the space try to make it work as it is always nice to snuggle with your kids! Have a great first weekend of Summer!
