Hello from Lady Nimue.  I'm a stay at home mother to three boys and part-time professional genealogy researcher living in the Southwest of the USA.

Currently I'm working on designing my 9yo son's bedroom - with NO cartoon theme and in a way that will appeal to him now but also grow with him through his teen years - it includes a loft bed with hang out space underneath and project table with built-in storage along an entire wall and wrapped around the corner. 

The last purchase I made for our home was pillasters, header & keystone for the large entryway into our sunroom.  Of course, the header is too short and now I'm in search of a longer key in order to make it all fit. 

Over the next year I hope to complete installation of wood flooring throughout the house and begin renovation of our very small and narrow galley kitchen (my master bathroom is twice the size of our kitchen!). 

I'm always in search of creative and innovative but classic design ideas.  When it comes to my living spaces I look for functionality (how exactly do I want to use the room? and how can I make that use convenient, organized and easy to maintain?) combined with a splash of 'surprise!' - a little fun & funk to go along with the durability of classic, family friendly design.
