This apartment in Hannover, Germany sneaks in cute little toddler areas without screaming 'kid lives here'. Ok, well, the swing says that, but it works here. Love the little market/store in the child's bedroom, too. See more photos and read the interview here.

Amazing Playstructures

Barbara Butler's playhouses, forts, and treehouses are so fun to look at. Who knew there were so many different ways to make an outdoor play structure? The prices are definitely steep, but you can tell many hours of design, care, and hand painting go into these. Her philosophy? "...create a great backyard play structure that’s an outdoor playroom.  Make it beautiful to look at and strong enough for the whole family to play on.  Spark the imagination and encourage kids to turn off the TV and computer, and go outside to play!"

Via Toy Box

Love this Laurelhurst toy box/bookshelf combo from Via Toy Box. Available in lots of color choices for $343.

Kaboost

Forget booster seats and high chairs - now there is Kaboost. This compact design is only $39.95 and snaps easily onto most chairs. It holds up to 300 pounds! This is ingenious. Anyone who has had to trip over a huge high chair or deal with bulky boosters would really appreciate this.

Giant Notepad Table

This is fun. A kid's table made from die-cut paper (about 1000 pieces) and bound together with red bookbinder glue. Very cool idea for a playroom. Two in one. By designer Martin Saemmer.

Plodes Studio designed these unusual barnacle shelves. I guess if you're working an "Under the Sea" theme in your kid's room, this would be perfect.
