When working with children I love to create rooms that will inspire their creativity, reflect their personality yet allow them room to grow - because of course what they love today they may very well be embarassed by 6 months from now.

I also love to incorporate pieces that will become future heirlooms - something they will still cherish and use in their adult years or be able to pass down to their children.

| Making storage actually fun! |

| An all time 1970's classic: The Joe Columbo Baseball glove chair! |
