Apartment Therapy: Look!

Look! Ruby's Playhouse

We are HUGE fans of Clare Crespo, author of The Secret Life of Food and Hey There, Cupcake!, and the woman behind The Yummyfun Kooking Series. When we heard that there was a tour of her daughter's pla...

Look! Charming Play Kitchen

Sometimes we're seduced by the sleek sets of play kitchen appliances available in stores. But then we take a look at our space (and a look at some of the price tags) and we pass. A homemade play kit...

Look! Paper Boat Wrapping

Ahoy, mateys! Remember Denise of Studio d Sharp? Well she has a way with paper. Not a fan of cutesy-kidsey wrapping paper (neither are we), she fashioned this clever paper boat from an old map to ...

Look! From Train Table to Dino Mountain

Inspired by this train table conversion, Ohdeedoh reader Libby decided to tackle this idea from a different angle: Jonah was getting bored with his train table, so we decided to transform it. Jonah i...

Look! Stylish Babyproofed Stairs and Railing in Mid-Century Home

If stylish babyproofing sounds like an oxymoron, think again. When Jora and her husband purchased a gorgeous 1962 "mid-century modern" home in San Diego last year they were thrilled, but with two y...

Look! Kid's Room In Action

We strive for order - there's a calm in the evening when the kids are asleep and the toys are all put away. But there's something about this room that we love. All of the toys are out of their hidin...

Inspiration: David Weeks' Weekend Home

Sure, few of us have anything as lofty as a weekend home -- or even a shack in the country -- but a house is a house, and designer David Weeks' weekend abode, as presented in a new house tour on Cooki...

Look! Toti Bunk by Koon

The Toti Bunk might just be the perfect small-space solution for young children. Bed, storage, work table, even a space for lounging... what more do you need? ...

Look! Organizing Books By Color

Design trends often have a trickle-down effect and sometimes they trickle right down into children's rooms. Organizing books by cover color is a trend we've seen plenty of, but this is our first ti...

Look! 365 Day Toy Project

Flickr member, Girlleastlikelyto, has a goal. She is photographing 365 days worth of dolls and toys from her collection and adding them to her Flickr photo stream. With everything from Blythe, Betty...

Look! Toddler-Sized Rietveld Chair

File this under A for Awesome. Juan decided to make a half-scale version of the iconic Rietveld Red Blue Chair for his son Hugo's first birthday... ...

Look! All-White Kid-Friendly Room

Almost every modernist we know harbors a secret (or not-so-secret) longing for an all-white room. Most kiss that dream goodbye once kids enter the picture. But why should they? Considering how many cl...

Look! Pink Bedroom for a Boy

This post title made you look, hm? Would you believe us if we told you that after spending a couple of hours trolling the internet, including a rather exhaustive keyword search on Flickr, we were not ...

Look! Stone Dolls

Depending on where you live, the opportunities to craft with outdoor materials may soon be coming to a close. When we saw these adorable Russian dolls at maya*made, it got us thinking that we could do...

Look! Le Petit Prince Nursery Mural

Bettina is waiting for her little Prince to arrive (any day now) and she wrote us to share her beautiful nursery inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic The Little Prince. ...

Look! Entryway For Back To School

It's back to school time for many households. It's the time for sharpened pencils, packed lunches and some new clothes. We find getting organized the night before means a successful on-time departur...

Look! Ikea Crib Hack

There's something about the Gulliver crib that seems to inspire creativity. Emma sent us some photos of the beautiful job she and her husband did of converting a Gulliver into a piece that looks strai...

Look! Kids Hand and Foot Print Garland

After reading our post about fun variations on the pennant trend, Ohdeedoh reader Shelley wrote in to point us toward this cute version, featuring handprints and footprints. Our favorite thing about t...

Look! Who Makes This Nursery Furniture?

Do you like the clean lines of this crib and changing table/dresser set? The crisp white against the dark espresso finish? Yep, so do we. Who makes this line you ask?...

Look! Party Garland

It's a fairly safe understatement to say that we here in the Ohdeedoh universe like pennant garlands used in kid decor. We're always on the lookout for new iterations, and this version, created by Mol...

Apple-a-Day Lunch Bag by Spool Sewing

Our little sister was an early green crusader and insisted on bringing her lunch to school (Catholic school at that!) in a cloth Crown Royal Whiskey bag. This Apple-a-Day lunchbag by Spool Sewing i...

Look! Skateboard Steps

The coolest steps in the world? Maybe. Built of custom-made decks, these stairs are a feature at the Roarockit Skateboard School in Toronto. We can easily imagine something similar leading up or down ...

Look! Florence Broadhurst Nursery

This nursery photo caught our eye in a recent post on ATLA about Australian designer Greg Natale. We wanted to know more so we Googled around a bit and learned that the pattern is that of renowned ...

Look! Wall Art Made with Embroidery Hoops

We recently spied this display that Taryn (who runs an Etsy shop called littlewhirl) created for her daughter's room. Our first thought: How charming! Our second thought: Hey, we could do that!...

Themed birthday parties are always such fun. The possibilities are endless and when you've found the right theme, you know it. We love the beautiful Chinese-themed birthday party Andrea, of Hula Se...
