Here’s a closer look at the room of my youngest ~ who loves….you guessed it…blue!
The greek key patterned rug balances out the blue, upholstered bed, piped in white. The oversize houndstooth roll pillows give it a bit of punch. By now you’re not surprised to see monogram linens ~ these done by Julia B. in Greenwich (where are you, Julia B?), who has since closed her darling shop.
Though not easily discerned from the above photo, the ceiling light (which is identical to the one in my other son’s room) is painted a bright blue. The dresser with mirror was in my childhood room and my mother’s childhood room ~ and though great storage now will probably be updated in the coming years.
The ceiling is painted Benjamin Moore‘s “Yarmouth Blue”, while the walls are “Navajo White”.
For some color and some whimsy, notice the “portrait” on the wall reflects the 2 monkeys on the bed.
And now that I’ve seen Kelly Wearstler’s foreword in Susanna Salk’s new book, Room for Children, I think I need to add a pop of green like she did in her son Oliver’s room — it’s on page 8.
I want you to see for yourself, so that’s the GIVE AWAY for this week! Sign up to be a follower and leave a comment below by this Friday (May 14th) at midnight and I’ll pick a winner at random! It’s a really beautiful book ~ full of inspiration for making children’s spaces special. And, in case you already have one, you can always give it to a friend!
Good luck….I’ll announce the winner on Monday, May 17th!

What an adorable room and I would love to see you add a pop of green or some sort of map papering the wall!
I would also love to win the book! So many great ideas.

Funny you mention the map — my little one has said he's ready to see the monkeys go and I thought an oversize map would be a great substitution.
