After 7.5 months of unsuccessful house hunting, my husband and I have finally landed on an almost perfect little home for us and our nearly two year old son. Now the sleepless nights have begun: Can we afford it? Is it really all we hope for? The kitchen is ridiculously small — but the yard! And overlooking it, there is the comfy, large and nearly perfectly square room that would be just right for our son’s first bedroom of his own. There’s even enough space to squeeze another kid (or two) in there, if life permits.
So, while I while away the next few days in fretful anticipation, waiting to see what God has in the works for our little family, I continue to turn over in my mind the “nursery” (now big boy room) possibilities. I think the photo above is just the ticket…
Is it a wonder I’m in love with it? It’s a snapshot of a sunny room in a Charleston, South Carolina home, designed by mother Angie Hranowsky.
And for a little further down the line… What luck to be the little kiddies of the fabulous John Derian. Check out Madeline and Linus’ curiousity-inspiring and whimsically eclectic nest below, featuring the delightful lino prints of Hugo Guinness!
Both pics are snapped from Keira Coffee’s (love the name!) curatorial essay, “city kids rooms” on the chic-pinchable Cookie, with photography by Adam Friedberg, Matthew Hranek and Katherine Wolkoff.
