The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
What do you think of this bedroom? Gorgeous, right? The bedding. The mirrored tables. The calm. I adore it.
The bedroom belongs to Stephanie of Stephmodo. I featured her housetour — with lots of great photos — on my CaféMom column this week. You won’t want to miss it. I promise.

Wow. I never knew just how inferior my bedroom actually was…
I looked at this yesterday and my question is, do you think it’s always that clean?? I mean, she has three kids! How is that possible?? I desperately hope that it was tidied up right before the pictures were taken. :)
Emily, I did make my bed before I took this picture, yes. But remember, this is an image of my/our room…not of my kids’ rooms :) Their rooms are…well…a different story :)
Her house is just like her blog…clean and serene! I love popping over to Stephmodo…and would LOVE to visit her house in France! xo…Linsey
Beautiful bedroom! I would love something like this in my own place.
Beautiful , impeccable ! Stephanie,I have 2 kids of my own . Everyday , I make sure our bed is made well- I am stickler for well made beds ! But, they find a way to jump on it !
I never liked orange until it became the favorite of both of my sons – now I like it for it’s own sake, too. This is especially wonderful paired with the gray! So serene.
some time asgo, i saw an email with tips from stephmodo which described how to fold fitted sheets so they could be stored by saving space. The email did not explain the method of folding, any help?
