I loved it even before I read that the inspiration poster came from Prague; love it even more that I know!

i love the more grown-up features of the room. it is fun and kid-friendly, but it's really stylish!

Really great! And it's so refreshing to see a 5 year old girl's room without pink everywhere--I hope she loves it and realizes how cool it is!

thanks for the kind comments!
@star3night - no, we bought that from a local toy store - i'm definitely not that handy
@jennyology - thanks, my husband made it before she was born - it's a 'hug' from the book of the same name

You can find the play kitchen at Oompa Toys (http://www.oompatoys.com/).

Love that you picked up the blue wall color with the nifty curvy blue side table!

Really great room.

Yay, a Toronto room! I love the wrought-iron bed, and the way it feels whimsical but still restful. That's my own personal bias against some of these super-colourful kids' rooms: they look fun to PLAY in but not very conducive to winding down and resting.
