Everyone is talking about how to do more with less in these dark economic times. Elle Décoration has a feature on a family home where just about everything is second-hand or DIY -- from this home-built loft bed with its paint-splattered ladder to modest vintage accessories made from flea market finds, like a DIY mobile made from old toys...
DIY Vintage Kids Room From Elle Décoration
Ohdeedoh in Europe - Paris
In this kids room, a vintage twin school desk and blackboard lend a retro charm, as do old alphabet charts strung up nonchalantly on the wall.
And anyone could copy this idea: an old busted wire lampshade carcass strung up with vintage (or outgrown) toys.
See the rest of the house via Elle Décoration here.

This is great. Some pops of red would be enchanting.
