Tip: Remember to shop at children’s stores, too — quite often they have colorful, “less serious” decor that is great for our midcentury modern and midcentury modest homes. Case in point: Thanks to Emily for this great tip about a new Charley Harper collection for Land of Nod. That shower curtain — I LOVE IT!
The Ladybug quilt comes in Twin and Full/Queen.
And ooooh the Flock of Birds rug!
There are bed sheets… throw pillows… growth charts… and more… What fun!

While wandering Ikea with a friend this weekend she remarked that it was interesting how we designate fun/colorful as reserved for children, as if once we turn 25 everything has to be serious and greige.
I’m glad to be a part of making life more colorful!

The children’s-decor isles at Target have some interesting things, such as colorful bean-bag chairs, painted furniture, and locker tables.

Hmmm I guess I never grew up! My house has to be colorful or I don’t feel like it is home. Life is too short to be too serious and only decorate with greige!

Agree! I take serious “things” seriously, not my house..it’s full of cheerful colors. Just got home from the zoo and taking pics of the pretty coral pink flamingos & red, blue, yellow parrots, the colorful flowers..even Mother Nature doesn’t do all boring greige nation.

I’m with you! You’d love my place!

The heck with the ladybug quilt- I want those shelves above the bed!
Hmm- $59 a module, in gorgeous colors… I think I must need these somewhere.

If you like the Charley Harper rug, you might like this https://www.charleyharperprints.com/shop/migration-mainline-cape-may-bird-observatory/ It was done a few years ago for the Cape May Bird Observatory in Cape May Point, New Jersey. I have this framed print hanging in my house and now have a new appreciation for it.
Joe Felice says
Oh, the whimsy I love it!

Love that rug. But birds of different feather do not flock together! I found a great shower curtain (and towels to match) for the bath in my old 1970s condo in the children’s section of Bed, Bath and Beyond. It was a jungle scene with parrots, similar to this one:

This is so bizarre- I JUST finished a Charley Harper needlepoint that I found at a second hand store- it is of the Ladybugs, “Space For All Species” which was adapted from a poster he designed for the National Parks! Thing is, this is from 1979, it is like new, but now all I see are Charley Parker’s ladybugs EVERY where. What gives? This isn’t the first time this has happened, seems every weird thing I get from the thrift stores all of a sudden becomes popular not long after I buy it. Am I MAGIC??? (just kidding)
