Child’s Play

Imagine my surprise to find out (by happy accident on Pinterest) that many of today’s children stores are carrying their own chic lines of interior decor.  There are even a few things I want myself!  While adult stores will sometimes carry a more subdued palette, children’s stores have a ton of colorful options perfect for modern or eclectic design aesthetics (and let’s face it; all homes need a touch of whimsy here and there).  Check out a few of these great finds and see for yourself:

I absolutely love this rug from PB Kids.  I (clearly) have a thing for blueprints and this rug would tie right in.  As for the industrial light fixture pictured, I’ve seen it before on Katie’s blog (she found them at the PB Kids outlet for a steal and used them in her kitchen).  And how about that shark art?  Kind of reminds me of Kim’s pallet shark but with a little more dimension.

Seventeen great finds from a children’s store, and that’s not all I found.  If you are a single homeowner like me, were you surprised like I was?  If you’re a parent – what gives?  Why do you gotta hold out on a girl like that?  :)
