Home inspiration: Trapeze!
My friend Sophie (of the amazing children's brand Oeuf) has a wooden trapeze in her Brooklyn living room. She used to go to trapeze school in California, and now she has taught her kids a bunch of tricks. "They do knee hangs and swing quite high," she says. "They think I look like a big whale, but I do it to amuse them. We thought they'd use it for five minutes and never again, but it's completely part of their daily life. We call them monkeys."

that is awesome!! i wanted nothing more than to have a swing in my bedroom when i was little, hung from the ceiling. i would have been all over that trapeze... actually, i would be all over it now lol!
How fun would that be as a child!! (or as an adult...) lol :)
How cool is that! I wouldn't mind having one for myself now. :)
It reminds me of how I used to rollerskate around our New York loft. Now that we've moved into a place where our landlord lives directly below us, it's probably not such a great idea... although he does have a squealing talkative parrot and a hearing problem, so maybe...
Hmm what an interesting idea! Safety concerns aside, I love it!

totally jealous! i've always wanted one of those in my living room! what lucky duckies!
A trapeze in the living room. I don't know if it gets any better than that. Especially, as the weather grows unfavorable. This is clever. Those are some lucky kiddos.
NEED THAT BADLY!!!!

Of course the creator of Oeuf has a trapeze in her home. She designs cool clothes, and apparently really cool homes too! How fun for her kids.
ps- I might be the ONLY one left on this planet who just started reading your blog, but I'm glad I did. I spent the better half of my morning scrolling through and can't wait to check every morning now. Thanks for that!
Not only is that awesome. That picture is the perfect boho casual living room. I want that place to be mine.

WOW! So fun! What lucky kids :)
That's brilliant! How fun! Cool little family.
that is so cool! and actually a nice detail in the apartment as well, sort of shouts out 'fun people live here!' :)
Incredible!
That is seriously the coolest thing ever. I want to go to trapeze school now, if only to have something like that with my future kids.
To be quite honest with you, when I saw "trapeze" in your post I did not expect for the trapeze to be in someone's living room. That's awesome! I totally need one of those. :)
Oh indeed, children must be so delighted with this!!! :) Great interior styling details!! Hugs, Twiggs
okay that's wayyyy insane :))
xo.
i LOVE oeuf!!! we sell oeuf in our store and its the loveliest childrens furniture there is!
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen!! :)
We've always had a rope swing in the barn to bounce around the hay loft in. Maybe we should add a trapeze... because there aren't enough ways for kids to be injured on a farm. Actually, I'm pretty sure I'd use it more anyway.
Wait... I just thought about it. People always ask me and my husband if we "roll in the hay" (Young Frankenstein style). If they see a trapeze up there they might really wonder what we're up to. Decisions, decisions.
I love the idea of teaching your child your 'craft' :) My photographer friend gave their three year old a camera to take pictures, and then posted them onto Facebook. It is marvelous to see a talent of such a young child and beautiful to have a peek into how a 3 year old sees the world :)
Must be so much fun for the kids!!!

so cool!
Fun idea to have at home! For kids... and us too! ;-)
oh wow. you have a table with activities...a TRAPEZE in your living room. yet the two kids are watching television.
too cool! I love when people really personalize their house like this-why not have trapeze in your living?!
this is so cool. i did trapeze as a teenager and have always wanted one at my home.
I want one!
So cool! I never would have thought of something like this. The idea sounds odd but looking at the picture, it actually fits in with all the furniture. You know such creative people!
the people who live across from where I work have a swing like this on their front porch! For some reason I couldn't imagine how they keep that from pulling the roof down.
this trapeze will be a unique detail of their childhood.
that's so Sixx Design! (i was watching 9 By Design re-runs today :) )
so much fun!
Sometimes people take decorating too seriously
when fun little quirky things like this can be elegant too without even trying.
love it

What a great way to keep the kids entertained!
Sx

i've always dreamed of having a swing in my house (one day).

pretty cute but it might weird out people too lol
Gorgeous living room! Curious if there is enough space to swing on the trapeze?
Such a fun space. I'm loving this loft - those wide plank hardwood floors are gorgeous and the deep plum burgundy of the rug looks spectacular against the white walls.
New York apartments are so beautiful. Sigh*
wow cool!wish I have it on my bedroom

I love this, what a fun activity to do with your family!

How fun! Speaking of style inspiration, I just blogged about a fabulous boutique design store in Vancouver and I think you would really enjoy it! :)

As if the trapeze bar was not brilliant enough - their house looks amazing! What lucky kiddos to have such a cool pad!
thats so awesome! love the living room, too.. the little table and chairs is too cute.
WOW! Now I really have seen everything!!! ^_^
awesome! love your blog! greetings from Germany
That is so cool though why do i imagine my crazy son trying to hang himself with it? Even things not remotely dangerous end up death traps with him around so i'll have to wait til they are a little bigger!
Amazing! And the Coolest Mom of the Year award goes to...
Why not, great idea. Warmly, Karen

lovely home! so chic! However I must ask, is the trapeze always affixed to the sprinklers?!
Thank you for sharing a nice article.

isn't that a sprinkler standpipe? if it is, i would rethink where you hang the trapeze. standpipes aren't supposed to bear any load other than their own and if it breaks, that's 30+gal/min of water on those beautiful floors.
