Right on the money

As a Mom I strive to make my home a fun place for kids to be welcome, but at the same time maintain a posh living space. This isn't the easiest thing to do seeing that most kids furniture and toys don't exactly represent this. However when I saw this picture on Decorpad I just said to myself that this is the perfect example of what I am trying to achieve. I love the grown up glam green chairs and the matching white tables. The tables give the space a certain uniformity enabling it to flow together nicely. The little white modern S chairs are perfect for the kids but still have that grown up sophistication! Love

I've always been head-over-heels for this dining room. It's the perfect punch of colour! From what I have seen of your home Leah, you have a perfect balance and a lovely family home. Will

Oh how adorable! not only those mini S chairs are prettier than big ones, how chic is the tulip table in a smaller scale? now I'd love to be a baby and have the chance to have this set :)

omg I love it! Being kid friendly is a big thing for me too as we have a lot of young kids in the family.

This is so cute! It's hard to find examples like this. since I don't have kids I try to strike a balance between posh and dog/cat friendly haha!

Awesome idea! And, I must say, from what I have seen so far, you are doing a great job at keeping things kid-friendly and totally posh at the same time.

i am with ya chick! the color pop and chairs are fab~

Unknown said...

This is beautiful! And kids love to be included with the grownups as well and not relegated to the kid's table way off in the corner. I love how they integrate the smaller kids table with theirs and in a choice spot! Right by the window.. What a great room!
