Ping Pong ball lights. Furniture & Dornob. I'm obsessed with&8230;THIS PIRATE BEDROOM! & blah blah... I’m obsessed with…THIS PIRATE BEDROOM!

I'm obsessed with&8230;THIS PIRATE BEDROOM! & blah blah...

<——– Take a minute and *like* my page on Facebook! Thanks! :) I think we can all agree this is the COOLEST. BEDROOM. The home features a huge hidden slide that runs the height of the home’s staircase, and plops you into the coolest pirate bedroom ever featuring a pirate ship that floats above the bedroom, and a jail. In other news….. Here is the home’s mudroom. TA DAAAA! This is the view of walking into the bedroom. The rope bridge is connected to the top of the jail cell, built to accommodate evil doers, thieves and little sisters. I love the detailing on the bottom of the bathroom floor. Ta daaaaa! Pretty cool, right? If you liked this bedroom, you might like my post about an amazing pirate home theater!

Like this: Like Loading... 321, GO!!! Slide 3 Stories Down 2 Sides of a 1-Family Home. While it is far for the first time a family has indulged its children with such a whimsical addition, this may be one of the most well-integrated (and longest) at-home slides yet created.

321, GO!!! Slide 3 Stories Down 2 Sides of a 1-Family Home

The long slide down (designed, ironically, by Level Architects)? Completes a circuit that starts with a staircase running along two walls of the home – one could endlessly move in a circle, effectively, running up and sliding down (definitely a good way to tire the kids out before bedtime!). While this core circulation wrapping the edges of the interior is certainly a great first step, there are many other child-oriented design strategies to be found throughout the house.

Other kid-friendly spaces include include ball-fillable playrooms, art spaces and copious shelves for kids books and coloring supplies. Old Garage turned Mini Dream Home! Hello there!

Old Garage turned Mini Dream Home!

It’s been a busy week with a trip to Seattle for the Picasso exhibition and a drive out to the coast but I knew I had to share this amazing remodel with you before the week came to a close. Everyone loves good makeovers and the ones involving tiny spaces, creative design and ingenious solutions are my all time favorites! Check out how Seattle artist, designer and welder, Michelle de la Vega, created this beautiful little 250 sq. ft. haven… The before… This lonely little detached garage is just begging for some love. The after! A cozy, light filled sleeping loft is so perfect for the space. The kitchen is well organized and accessible with open storage solutions. The rustic wood burning stove becomes sculptural in this room along with Michelle’s own art installations. The glass boxes housing pillow forms are actually a tribute to Michelle’s father.

I think I'm in love. That dangling, serene little pod is a NESTREST, designed by Paris' Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety. It's described as an over-sized bird's nest that's perfect for relaxation, meditation and open-air conversations. And if you love the design, but dangling in the air isn't your thing, NESTREST is also available as a standing lounger. It's made of 4 cm wide strips of a unique material called DEDON Fiber, the world's first synthetic resin fiber material.
