I just finished working on a kids’ room photo shoot for our June 2011 issue. I have to say, it’s a difficult go finding age-appropriate furniture and accessories for the preteen/teen age group. You want to incorporate all the beautiful classics, but really, do you want to pay for them? and the vintage nod is a good fit, but there is a fine line between a few essential pieces and making your kid’s room feel like a label sale.
Well, the good news is that Pottery Barn teen now ships to Canada — yay! I recently attended a press event and saw first-hand a lot of the products, and they’re great. quite a few pieces could even cross over into basics for the home — desk lamps, for example. As yet, there will not be a stand-alone shop in Canada, but just about all products are available online, and Pottery Barn has been very careful to guarantee shipping is reasonable.
Have a look below. I’m ordering a beanbag for my 10 year old this week.
