p.s. you didn’t call when you were here. BOO.

Sarah - Thanks, Hillary. It’s always good to know what worked for people. I’m also printing a bunch of articles from the NYTimes…feels like something my dad would do. ;)

Hillary - These are my favorites (although I do like wallpaper): http://eatshopguides.com/buy/

The Paris one is from June of last year.

I also like this series: http://www.thamesandhudsonusa.com/series/stylecity.htm

But I think THAT Paris one is from ’08 – way old.

The playroom at Dinder House // The New York Times Style Magazine, Spring 2011

I love this renovated Manor House in England from yesterday’s NYTimes Style Magazine. The kids playroom on the cover looks amazing. The house is for a family of six; four, young boys. Oh my! Read the full article here. Photography by Margnus Marding.   Tweet
