Made By Girl: room for children

Oba Arquitetura

Have you heard of Oba! Arquitetura? Two architects Leila Bittencourt and Fernanda Casagrande, opened up a showroom focusing on children rooms! They don't believe in designing a room around a specific theme rather developing each room as a work of art. They source accent objects from around the world, and use lots of texture and patterns to keep a playful and magical feel to each room.

Leila and Fernanda also have their own line of furniture (tables, stools and beds) that they design in their studio, that they say can "grow" with the child, making sure that each piece is adaptable as they get older. Check out some of their work below! Aren't these rooms precious?

Room For Children....Book Review (Via Made By Girl)

Room For Children published by Rizzoli is such a cool & inspiring book for those of you who have KIDS. I swear, I instantly fell in LOVE with this book while flipping through it's 240 PAGES of full color!

I don't have any kids yet, but I wanted to share it with those of you who do! I'm sure it's a CHALLENGE coming up with IDEAS to decorate a nursery etc., but whether for a newborn, toddler, or teenager, the rooms shown here enrich the experience of childhood while inspiring with their imaginative design.

You'll see rooms decorated by top designers like, Kelly Wearstler, Charlotte Moss, Alessandra Branca, Amanda Nisbet, and Thomas Jayne, among many others. How's that for INSPIRATION?

You can pick up your copy here.

It definitely makes for a great coffee table book with it's perfect size! Kids are so lucky these days to be exposed to such creativity. Don't you think? I DEFINITELY recommend this book!!
