play time | When kids enter the picture, it can be a bit of a design challenge figuring out how to integrate the plethora of accompanying gear and toys into the picture without losing your sense of style. In the play area, Eve incorporated the same wall mural techniques and vibrant color scheme that define the rest of their funky pad. Says Eve, "I figured since we live in upstate NY that I would pay some homage to our state with the NYC skyline and the mountains and water. Again, all contact paper! And it's very kid-friendly -- it cleans up easily for the random spills/handprints/smears. Also, I liked the idea of our family tree with photos of all of us from his first year." >
