A Kid's Room Sanctuary by London's Studiomama
Kids love their own spaces. So here's one kid's room that's part treehouse and part playhouse. What I love is the staircase that serves as an architectural transition between the bigger room and more intimate "this is my space" sanctuary. [Bloesem Kids via SwissMiss]
Danish designer Nina Tolstrup is currently based in London and designs products for companies while also taking a pro-active approach designing, manufacturing and selling her own ranges under the Studiomama name ... the kids house was build as an intriguing and playful structure that both could serve as a sleeping space or playhouse ... I think it's not for sale and is for her own kids, but what a great idea, if you ever have space enough...i ithink your kids will always be grateful...!

Silent as a Winter Night - A Rug
The Silence Rug is designed in Norway obviously inspired by their wintery climate. And even though I can't make sense of the footprints - how does one leave a trail like this? - it's still a unique and beautiful rug. Made from New Zealand wool.

Design Envy: Shoe and Coat Rack
Now that our daughter is starting to crawl, we've started to be more diligent at taking off our shoes at the front door. It means, however, that eyesore clutter of shoes when you first walk in the house, which I hate. My wife's solution is to run to Target or Ikea and get a shoe rack - bleeech! If we had the room, I'd love to have a solution like this coat and shoe hanger wall in a NY penthouse designed by the architect team at Manhattan Produce.
Meanwhile, we still don't have a great solution for our shoes.
