When designing for my family, I take everyone's aesthetic into account. This is my toddler son's playroom. I incorporated cute facades from my wife's favorite places around the world to create a world for Shiloh's action figures. I chose each action figure to represent a member of our extended family.
Our business, coco love Pairings, is an affordable luxury line of tea and cookie pairings. The Coco Love Train visits Lindsey as she reads Shiloh a book.
I built these five buildings for Shiloh. I installed LED color changing lights in each building to keep Shiloh's interest. I lined the floors with the highest quality electrostatic grass giving the buildings a luxe feel. Lindsey was hesitant about the sheer number of blocks I made, of which there are hundreds, so I covered some with her favorite pictures from Pinterest. Now she loves them.
Shiloh's bed and desk. I made the room's 3D backdrops from 1/4" plywood images, floating varying depths from the wall. A water horizon line surrounds the room at Lindsey's eye level making the room feel larger and more relaxing. The side tables in this picture are sculpted rock cliff. I took photos of the rock cliffs themselves, then applied the images to blocks, helping to further unitiy the room.
I customized the trim in the entire room with floating moldings and a 3' tall, 1/2" birch skirt that runs the perimeter. I routered the edges of the birch to soften the look.
A set of large shadow boxes act as the closet while the furthest left shadow box is left open on two sides. The door leading out of the room has been turned into a hidden door (behind mirror) to help Shiloh forget about the outside world. A cat door is built into the hidden door.
