In the children's room with Oakley Peterson -

World Day of Down syndrome, we are so happy to visit the baby room Welles and hearing her beautiful mom, Oakley Peterson, who brings such a new perspective in his own blog Nothing Down About It. We think you'll love this colorful, fun space, designed by Oilo studio that reflects the joy Welles brings to his family. Thank you, Oakley, share with us

I am the mother of three littles and wife to my man. My days are filled with layers, imaginary play and snuggle. Oh, and chaos, but I would not want it any other way. We call Down syndrome "up syndrome" because it brings our family and not downwards. Welles made everyone smile, and her happiness is contagious. We love to share the journey of our family and to defend

I used my mind mom and dreamed of a fun-loving area and the bold play that match the personality of Welles and be functional to their needs. Put together, I wanted bright colors and happy to surround my boy happy with.

How did you transition from the nursery to the room of a big kid? Was it a complete overhaul or have you been able to continue to use most of the articles?
We started fresh! Blank slate. We left her baby's room is exactly like the baby brother (third child problems!) And Welles moved to an empty room with a blank canvas

What was the most important thing that you wanted to achieve when creating this space?
I wanted a lot of fun space for Welles. I really wanted to include an area for him to be creative coloring, play and explore. I think we achieved that with its small table and reading corner. In addition, a key fun toys trays added

What is the first thing people notice when setting foot in this room
Probably generators and Sissy Marley wallpaper ?! He is so bold and mesmerizing!

Do you have any words of advice for other designers and parents?
Do what is functional for that child. Resist go too elegant or adult. Make it a fun place they want to spend time in!
