my design projects, inspirations, & a few personal tidbits

Here you will find what inspires me, and a peek into how I pull spaces together – the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly mishaps along the way. I sprinkle in a little family life, travel, food, fashion, and party events, too.

A friend of mine shared this article with me yesterday written by Lindsay Ferrier of Suburban Turmoil.  It is titled "Warped Childhood, Restoration Hardware Style", and features photos from the Restoration Hardware baby & Kids catalog with some rather funny captions.  Here's an excerpt: [caption id="attachment_6941" align="aligncenter" width="600"]restoration hardware baby & child restoration hardware baby & child[/caption]

"Realizing that playthings would certainly spoil the aesthetic of their daughter’s bedroom, little Emmaline Clothilde Sinclair-Murray’s parents wisely limited her to an iPad and one rag doll. "

Really, you should read the article simply for the children's names the author chooses.  They are hilarious, and in my opinion, the best element of the whole piece.  But what really struck me is the heart of what the author is saying, and what I have actually been thinking about lately as I put together my daughters room.
