Location: Albany, California
Family: Anna, Thomas, mom Anna and dad

Tip for Living Small with Kids: Invest in the best quality toys and decor you can buy; hand-made and open-ended toys last longest, ultimately take up least storage space, and look the best on display.

What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in putting together this room? The biggest challenge is simply that we have children of different ages and different genders sharing it! We had to choose things that would meet everyone's taste, and not be so "of the moment" that we had to switch things out constantly. We have a car-crazy boy and an artistic girl, and needed to meet everyone's needs.
