This open kitchen was intentionally designed with specific features, like a coffee station and a microwave that opens like a drawer. The entire main floor of this house is open so the dining area flows into the kitchen and the living area, which is great for entertaining.

Esther of This Wild Heart created this Montessori-style playroom for her son. What’s a Montessori-style playroom, you ask? I had the same question and here’s what I learned.
The theory behind the Montessori Method is to create an intentional space that helps a child’s development. It’s supposed to encourage them to be more independent through the room’s design and layout.
One idea is to create an open space that allows kids to move freely. Here are some more ideas.
Keeping toys and books on low shelves makes them accessible to children so they can easily interact with them. This helps to keep activities within reach and children will be more engaged with them.
Include child-sized furniture to give them a comfortable place to read or play. A comfortable space creates a better environment for learning and play.
Leaving open space is like a blank canvas. It encourages kids to use their creativity and imagination. It also gives them space to move around.

Everything has a place. This creates a routine, which is highly beneficial for children. It may take time to develop the habit, but it’s meant to create order and teach them to put back their things in the same spot,
Many toys are wooden ones instead of battery-powered ones that light up or sing. The idea is to promote imagination and engagement so children develop their motor skills and focus when they’re not distracted by toys with flashing lights or noise.

I was introduced to Wendy of The Kwendy Home by a mutual friend and had the opportunity to photograph her home for a feature in Apartment Therapy. This was a huge milestone for both of us as we were fans of Apartment Therapy, a big online publication in the interior and home space.
