One step into the Kids’ Bedroom and you’re instantly immersed in a fairytale where dreams come true. Designed by Lucy Penfield, Allied ASID, of Lucy Interiors, this wonderland serves as a happy place where magical things happen. Believed to once be Alfred Pillsbury’s sitting room, J3 Renovation & Design worked to preserve and restore as much of the room as possible to retain its original charm.

Inspired by whimsical characters like Peter Pan and the magical Tinker Bell, this room sparkles with enchantment. Imagine Mary Poppins whisking the children away on wonderful adventures, all within the blink of an eye. The space features fairytale-like areas such as a Magic Wardrobe, a Princess and the Pea Bed Chamber, a Storytelling Tower, and a Magical Theater stage hand-painted by Children's Theatre. This room is a haven where children can dream and imagine, transporting them to their own Neverland filled with endless stories and adventures. Remodeling this space began by ensuring everything that could be restored was done so carefully.

With the exception of creating access to the new bathroom, all the trim remained untouched. New hardwood flooring was also installed for consistency with the rest of the home. Adding in the built-in bench and custom stage ensures that this space will become a favorite hangout spot for the homeowners’ future children. 

Reflecting an English-inspired interior, the Children’s Room is adorned with playful stripes and colorful prints sewn by Seams Like a Good Idea. Fanciful light fixtures from Visual Comfort and a trellis wallcovering from Thibaut add a nostalgic touch. Painted furniture and a palette of blues and greens, accented with a hint of sunshine, bring quintessential charm to the space. Classic details like canopy-style beds and whimsical elements enhance the make-believe atmosphere. Peek into the custom closet by Twin Cities Closet Company and you'll uncover adorable outfits and accessories from Pacifier.
