Architectural Digest: Home of Jenni Kayne and Richard Ehrlich

From Architectural Digest, October 2012: Comfort Zone.  The home of Jenni Kayne and Richard Ehrlich.  I love the simple and relaxed palette and the overall vibe of this project.  Looks very beautiful but still comfy and livable for a family.  Speaking of which, even the children's rooms are amazing.  Project by Standard.

I was lucky enough to sit in one of these rocking chairs at the AD Home Show.  Boy, was it SOLID.  This is a high-back rocking chair by Laron Algren Woodworking.

Not-Too-Kiddie Kids' Rooms

I love these kids' rooms that are not too childish.  They're still colorful, playful, and kid appropriate, but not overflowing with blue or pink decor.  Both of these are actually DIY projects taken on by homeowners!  They both did a great job.  And is it me or is gray the new white?  I love gray walls, they really make the other color accents POP!

Above: Room for three (!) boys by the author of The Bumper Crop.  Read about how she put this room together here.

Below: a lovely nursery by a Beacon Hill homeowner, featured on Elements of Style.  That painting looks so lovely there.  Nice stimulating colors for a baby, too.  And I love the sofa in the nursery.  It makes sense to make things comfy for the moms and dads too!  They'll be spending many sleepless nights in there.
