I decorate my own home in what I would call the modern classical or traditionally elegant but lived in style. However, from time to time, I wish I had a "fun room." I see images like these and think "Why CAN'T I have a tree growing out of the floor?" Or a big heart dominating a wall? Or ginormous orange and yellow stripes, or an elephant on my dresser? Or a teepee, or a lucite chair swinging like a hammock in my family room? Well, I guess I could. I imagine I don't because I might get tired of it. But these rooms do make me smile, and I think it would be hard to be anything but happy in them. So even if I don't go running out to buy rope to hang my bed from today, I admire these designs nonetheless. Whether it's the bold color, patterns, chalkboard walls with silly scribblings, unusual furniture, or something else entirely, they make me happy, and I hope it makes you happy to look at them:
Well, this one might give me an anxiety attack more than it would make me happy, but maybe you're less high strung than I am and could enjoy it for what it is meant to be:
And my (and my son's) all time favorite:
PS - I was at Marshalls today, which I swear sometimes has beter finds than Home Goods. Take a look:

Oh I love this, Stacy! I have always tried to incorporate a 'childish' or humourous element in my rooms....sometimes I like childrens rooms even better for their whimsy and fearless attitude! And I remember that Liza Bruce room on the cover of Elle Decore several years back, and it has been one of my favorites ever since. There IS a lot going on there, but not enough to induce an anxiety attack! Thanks for curating such a fun bunch of rooms for us to look at!
