Austin Texas Project: Kids’ Rooms
Yesterday we showed you the Living Room, Master Bedroom, and Guest Room of our Austin Texas Project.
Today we’re showing you the kids’ spaces! We’re not joking when we say this family has more books than anyone! The kids were even reading during the install! We loved the challenge of providing storage for all the books and using them as accessories as we styled. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to create special nooks and reading areas for the family. Our client wanted her twin’s room to be fun, but transitional. We decided to use furniture that would last while as the boys grow, and use playful artwork and textiles.
This room required a lot of storage! The shelving unit on the left of the bed was placed as an extra place to store books and toys instead of another nightstand. The client had th vintage California flag that brought so much character and the perfect amount of color for this space.
The number one need in the playroom was a daybed. We filled it with eclectic throw pillows for an element of fun and comfort. The kids can rearrange the pillows as they lounge, read, rest, and play. Speaking of playing, the kids love legos and toys. The baskets are handy for keeping the toys while also bringing in some natural texture.
Can you tell us where you bought the shelves? Thank you!
Is there anything cuter than a pair of twin beds? Adore the frames too!
Right?! Thank you!!
Love the look! Are you able to provide the sources for the rugs?
The daybed and linens are beautiful. Can you share where they’re from?
The daybed is by CB2, and the linens are custom!
I love those military cot style twin beds. Can you share where they are from?

The play room…
Where did you source the wooden storage unit next to your Joanna bookcase? Also, where is the black and white window shade from? LOVE that!
Also! Will the Nancy pillow be coming back into stock?!!…I am guessing the shade you had made from this same fabric…
I really love these rooms but am I the only mom in the blogosphere that can’t imagine spending $500 + on pillows for my kids? Isn’t anyone worried about markers, blood, snot, rips, etc? Not judging… really. But my kids are so darn hard on everything that I just couldn’t justify it! (Again, love the rooms!)
Love this! Can you tell me where the blue dresser is from in between the twin beds from RH?
Gorgeous! Where are the mirrors from?
are the baskets used on the large shelf from your shop? or somewhere else?
They’re a little different because we didn’t have the baskets in stock when we did the shoot. But very similar!
You guys always do such beautiful work! Would love to know where the pillow is from on the white chair. I have been searching a long time for something like that 🙂
Thanks Kym!! Here’s a link! http://bit.ly/2pUUHDD
I am a mom of a boy who never sits still and I am super nit-picky when it comes to designing kids’ rooms. So many designs are ridiculously expensive and they just don’t take into consideration the functionality of a child’s room. However, the room with the shelf of large baskets that you have designed is a shining example of a well thought out room. Swap out the table and chairs for a train/lego table and there is really nothing you can nit-pick out of this room (aside from the pure white carpet). ANNNDDD…..everything can be duplicated for cheaper. Everything is utilitarian as well as pleasing to the eye. And, this room can grow up with a child. Well done! I am pretty impressed. I mean, I am no interior designer or blogger, but I am a mom who has to deal with a 5 year old boy’s room/mess daily, and this room is MOM APPROVED!
This is the best comment ever, Amy! We’re so happy you think it’s functional and pleasing to the eye. Thanks for your stamp of approval! Xoxo
Beautiful!!! What color are the walls?
Could you please tell me what kind of beds those are in the twins’ room and where can I find them? I have 3yo twin boys as well as an almost 2yo boy who will all three be sharing a room soon. These beds would be AWESOME!
Where is blue dresser between twin beds from??
Hi – I’m currently in the process of updating both my playroom and my oldest sons bedroom into a big boy room and I’m just loving everything here for inspiration or honestly, straight up copying 😉
Could you share where the bedside table in the twins room is from or what color it was painted? Love it for his bedroom.
I love everything about these rooms!
Thank you so much, Alison!
Hey there! I’m redoing my guest bedroom and I ADORE this rug! I’m having a hard time finding something I love as much – are you able to share the source?
Thank you!
