speaking of little girls, who wouldn’t want to live in this room? i would have loved that pink curtain by the bathroom and the bunny posts on the bed- it’s so sweet and girly.
boodalee was one of my favorite new companies showing at icff this summer. in a sea of children’s bedding and furniture designs, their bright colors and bold patterns stood out as a cheerful alternative to the rest of the pack. so i was excited to hear from jennifer at boodalee that they’d just launched four…
