I could only find bits of her home, but this is the kind of magical home you live in when your mom is a writer and illustrator of children’s books. This is Beatrice Alemagna’s art studio. 

The painted walls in the kitchen/dining room. 

There’s a line of illustrated rugs, too.

Whimsical illustrations are everywhere.

Children’s room with her wallpaper murals. I wish I could find more of the house.
