Interior Design Sense

Zana Lokmer is an artist, a stylist, a jewellery maker. She lamented to me that she is not a photographer. Zana I love the pictures you have shared with us. A bright and cheery front door with the family rules, a cute as a button kitchen, a cosy living area and a view of a garden and deck I can only dream of. A lovely home full of personal touches. You can find Zana’s etsy store here. You may have to race me for a necklace though.

This is the first of 2 posts I have for you today that take you into the homes of a couple of our readers. Nelly (a stylist whose work I have featured here, here and here) sent in photos of her daughter’s adorable nursery.
I was blessed with a massive room with beautiful floorboards and a decorative fireplace, but I had a very tiny budget. As a result, all furniture are second-hand (including the much-loved rocker) and most decorative items were handmade by family and friends or sourced on Etsy and/or overseas. I’d put a maximal limit of $100 for each piece of furniture and $30 for any decorative items. I only “splurged” on the cocktaoo ceramic lamp ($75) as I had eyed it with envy for a few years… You might notice that I have again used a cow hide. Well, it just happens to be the same that was featured in other of my rooms/shots. It no longer fits into my “new” home (not that new; it’s an old cottage in a heritage listed suburb of Perth), except in my daughter’s. And as I don’t really have the financial resources to invest in another rug at the moment, well, I’ve used it!

It’s always fun to see creative and imaginative playrooms. Here are some fun rooms for both kid’s rooms & playrooms!

Modern and minimal…but that teepee sure says “let’s play.”

Lots of room for books and storage, and a cozy built-in window seat.

The most ethereal playroom I’ve yet to see…

{via Kids Room Decor}

Side by side beds leave plenty of floor space for play.

Love this bold and graphic playroom with the chalkboard walls! (I actually blogged about this room awhile back in my post, “These Walls Are Made for Chalkin‘”)

A colorful playroom with just the right balance a white backdrop.

Fun striped walls and a multi-purpose window seat.

A very spacious attic space turned playroom.
