Kids Have the Best Rooms

It’s always refreshing to photograph a kids rooms. Where as grown up rooms are usually fancy and designy, kids like to put their own interests and personality and display it boldly in their room. After all, they do spend a lot of time there, so why not make it awesome place to hang out. 

I also really like the mix of modern and salvage pieces. It works well in this Craftsman style home.
