“word to the wise” wednesday: may daouk (again)

I use antique fabrics, but if they get damaged I just replace them.  Because I don’t want to live in a showcase.  I want to live in a home.

— May Daouk

This bedroom is shared by two of May Daouk’s boys.  Although the room is more eclectic than those I usually design, I love that May doesn’t feel confined to a “typical” boy room.

My twin boys have regular curtains and upholstered headboards in their shared room as well .. and I dread the day they ask for Star Wars sheets.  Children appreciate good design, too, you know!  One of my proudest moments may have been when my then-four-year-old Twin B asked why the hotel we were visiting “has that ugly red mulch.”   That’s parenting success right there, baby.

What’s your favorite kid + design story?
