Here's a peak at a lush pink kid's room we spotted in an ATLA House Tour. Karen and James' home has that effortless look that we admire. It's colorful while still soothing. The furniture is largely mid-century modern without feeling coldly sleek. It's a home that both children and adults can feel comfortable and happy in.

The tour's author, Jonathan Lo, describes the Los Feliz, CA home of his friends like this:

What we're most impressed is the way that the Bond's home is a pleasing integration of "adult" aesthetics and colour schemes with those of the rooms belonging to their children. They call it a compromise, but we think their home is an inspiration for those parents who want to retain an element of fun while also preserving the look of a "grown up" household. Most notably, their extensive collection of artwork throughout the home works as an aesthetic bridge between the different looks of the home, connecting youth and age, bright colours with more neutral decor, and tying classic and trendy elements all into a harmonized home that work cohesively despite the unique decor that resides in each room.

I love that yellow sideboard - it's gorgeous! Is it an antique?
