Kid-Proof Your Design
One of my frequent requests from clients is to design a "kid-proof" home. I must tell you, If I am completely honest about this, it's impossible. I don't have children, but daily life (and the occasional party) have provided plenty of visible damage in my home – like the time someone danced in stilettos on my beautiful hardwood floors, or the red wine I spilled on the day my new white carpet was installed. Or that time I knocked over my brand new custom credenza because I opened all the drawers at once and damaged four of the drawer fronts. Spills and scratches are going to happen. I like to remind my clients of the five-foot rule. If you can't see damage from a standing position, it doesn't exist.
