Lucky Inhabitant: VioletAge: 10
Designer: Eliza Gran (Mom)
The Story: "I wanted to give Violet a room that combined my love of pattern with her creativity," says Gran, founder of an eponymous line of children's clothing. The chalkboard allows the young artist to change her whole room with her mood. And when a child's chalk drawings are as stunning as wallpaper (they even play off the bedding nicely), you know you've hit upon something special.
