apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Look! Tutus as Decoration

091908_sz_tutus.jpgBefore we were gabbing away on our Swatch Twin phones, we were investing in tulle tutus trying to mimic the almighty Madonna circa "Like a Virgin" days, which brings us to why, oh why, we are so in love with this kid's media room.

Found in the New York home of Obedient Sons & Daughters designers Christina and Swaim Hutson, their daughter's room features all the things you'd normally find -- crib, toys, even a drum set -- but it also has a sweet flat screen. The room keeps from feeling like a serious media den through a stream of rainbow hued tulle skirts hanging from a pipe above.

After the jump one more shot of the kid's room, plus a look at how Christina and Swaim decorated the adult media room...

Years ago, a now-closed vintage store in San Diego County had a very interesting window display - colorful, frothy petticoats rather like those pictured, arranged with the frilly hems up in galvanized buckets like a florist's shop. It was so silly and so gorgeous at the same time.

Wow. I think this place looks like an utter disaster...
Admittedly I am kind of a neat freak, but those crooked picture frames are begging to be straightened! :)

And a flat screen in that young of a child's room? That is severely depressing to me...
