These are just a couple of shot of details I want to remember from this house. Nothing design-y, nothing you’ll want to pin, but details that I love because August and Eleanor love them.
The two-year-old boy’s version of a pin-up? A Playmobil construction toys poster, along with some of the road construction signs we used for his birthday party.
A four-year-old girl’s version? An Animal Crossing poster (her favorite game, and mine), and one from the Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! show. More road construction signs here too.
Not the most pleasing aesthetically, but they’re not so bad. Kind of sweet, really. Especially compared to the cars with babes and teen idol posters that may loom in our next home’s future.

July 18, 2013 at 1:34 pmlol, love the YGG. You try to limit it, but when she has to have a DJ Lance doll, how can you say no? Right now O has all of them… except Gooble. On the hunt.

July 18, 2013 at 1:38 pmI have seen examples of the mythical Gooble toy, and want it too! I think it was a special promotional Beanie Baby. Of course, if you can sew, you can make one.

July 18, 2013 at 1:40 pmAwww, that is sweet. I so can relate. When we left our first home, the one we lived in when my son was born, he was five and I went around his room and took photos too. This fall we’ll be leaving the house he has grown up from a five year old to a tween. It’s those little touches that they love that makes us adore their rooms so much. The little Pottery Barn table and chair where he played for hours creating with Legos will forever be a fond memory in my heart.

July 18, 2013 at 2:40 pmIt’s a Barbie couch (the one designed by Jonathan Adler). Brandon got it for me/Eleanor as a gift a Christmas or two ago.

July 18, 2013 at 3:20 pmSo cute! My kids are a bit younger than yours so not yet exerting personality into their rooms. This post has got me looking forward to it. Also love the doll sofa. Where is it from?

July 18, 2013 at 7:13 pmYou’re forgetting the giant metal MAN CAVE street sign. That could be in your future, too.

July 18, 2013 at 7:28 pmThis just made me do a mental “awww” I’m 27 and my mom still has the posters that I hung on my door up. This is sweet!

July 18, 2013 at 9:29 pmSo sweet, Nicole!
My 7 year old saves every sticker he gets and puts it on his (crappy Ikea) nightstand. It used to really irritate me, but it doesn’t anymore. He’ll outgrow this soon and it will just be a distant memory.

July 19, 2013 at 9:10 amNice to find another (seemingly sane) adult who’s into Animal Crossing. It’s my secret shame. I tell my boyfriend it’s only because we don’t own a house yet, and I need to decorate rooms SOMEWHERE.

July 22, 2013 at 3:08 pmI LOOOOVE THIS! These are the gems. I love when home bloggers show us the REAL things in their homes, not just the pretty things. Thanks Nicole :)
