Yesterday I got to spend an entire day with one of my favorite clients. We were doing some sourcing and just had to slog through details to make it all come together. We ended up laughing most of the day, truly enjoying the bonding that comes from making such decisions on a time frame. Our total expenditure came in below budget, and that made everyone happy.
It is rare that I get to spend one whole day on a given project. I am usually multi tasking, and rolling with a work load that is full of diverse spaces, and great combinations of fun. Yesterday it was all about a play room full of fun, and full of energy. We dove in to storage, bins, play mats, childrens desks and task chairs, lounge furniture to snuggle in and great growable colors. So often the primary colors that are executed in play rooms are outgrown before the youngest is out of diapers. We did not want that to happen. We ended up doing "playful elegance" and using wood tones that were deeper than we expected, and a great use of materials to "grow up" the space for us. We introduced color playfully and gave some surprise punches of bright colors to remember that we are dealing with three children 7 and under. We made choices that will grow with these darling wee ones and give them some organization to work with.
We had alot of fun doing it together.
