Can you tell me how big your room is? I have a smaller room. This space looks really amazing but want to compare with the space I have.

I remember seeing the Malm dresser from Ikea on your blog (since I like it and want to copy it) and so I thought I’d share this warning…https://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2015/IKEA-Offers-Free-Wall-Anchoring-Repair-Kit-for-Chests-and-Dressers/
Eep. So, there’s a repair kit to make the dresser more safe around kids. Just thought you’d want to know!

Ha, I love it, his “shed”.

I’ve been considering painting 3 walls white too and leave one green, because I do love it, I just am feeling a change coming down. Maybe we should do it! It could also be this time of year, I want to paint everything right now.

Thanks for checking in on me – good luck with the sheds :)

It’s fantastic and I love all the little details and hidey places/nooks. My son would love this… we have tiny bedrooms and he calls the corner of his bedroom between his Toy cupboard and bookshelf his “shed”! It’s got buckets of tools, trains and his ‘treasures’ that I mustn’t touch! Oh to be 4.5 again!

I love your green walls and have a similar but maybe bit lighter colour in my daughters room (I call it pistachio green!) but have been itching to change it lately. Maybe paint 3 walls white and leave a green feature wall???

Thanks for sharing this with us… I’m off to see if I can create some more ‘discovery spaces’, such a great idea!

Oh Thanks for the tip Mandolin – I’ll be in the market around March, hopefully they will still be around then. Thanks for looking out for me!

Ha, I just said the same thing in a previous comment reply. Yes everyone loves white these days and it does photograph well. I flip flop all the time over it. My 25 year old me would never believe that I would consider painting white walls, it’s funny how tastes and trends change. I do think I will stick with the green for a bit longer, I’m not convinced of any specific change yet – and jumping into things I’m not sure of usually ends with not-so-good results. Thanks for your input!

Hey Helen! Thanks for the insight! I flip flop on white vs bright color all the time. The white does photograph so well always – but I haven’t seen it enough in real life to know for sure if it’s all that. Something to consider for sure.

Thanks Mindy! I got the duvets over at Ikea, like all things Ikea they were super affordable and they look great. Here’s the link.

Hey Sarah, Yeah, I totally go back and forth on the color all the time. I’m sure it won’t last forever – sometimes I think it’s just that dark green rug that I can’t stand, if I can just change that maybe everything would be better!

I would suggest looking on Craiglist for a vintage rocker or even just the shell of a chair. They make really nice bases that are affordable these days (I buy all mine from Modern Conscience), you could get it much cheaper than buying new.

Hey Shavonda! At least kids are good at making mischief even if they aren’t close in age :) Plus, you get to decorate two rooms, that sounds fun too.

Thanks Emily! That means a lot, I really put a lot of thought into the design of the site and posts. Thank you!

I actually adore the green walls. My 2 year old boy has a room with white walls and a dark grey feature wall with lots of white furniture and even though I’ve added pops of colour using art and books, I feel it’s not quite bright enough fur a fun loving little person?!

Hi Lori! I too remember trying to make forts and cool secret spots to hang out when I was a kid..

It is so hard being three, you are right. Man, kids, they get all the fun – lucky for us moms it’s part of the job to channel our inner kid from time-to-time. Good luck on making fun kid places, I’m sure you’ll make it awesome.

Hey Rachel! Yes, these came with the house, I totally love them too. Sometimes I dream of changing them out for a few years just to change it up, but I do have a sweet spot for these lights.
