I’ve been keeping an eye out for a coffee table and have fallen madly in love with the mid-century vibed Dorig storage coffee table.

Chiconomy Buy: Coloured Cots from Kiddicare

  We’re still mourning the loss of the Brio cotbed which was a bright style-light in the lower price brackets when it comes to baby furniture.

Resol Julietta Children’s Table and Chairs

I was having a bit of a browse for cool table and chairs for a friend this weekend when I happened on this rather delicious set from John Lewis. Made by Spanish designers Resol, this table and chair set is designed for the garden but I think it would work just as well inside the [...]

Buying vintage for children

In these thrifty times, recycling and reusing are all becoming a necessity. But, actually, vintage and second-hand goodies for kids make sense and are often much more appealing than the latest thing. Clothes, toys, books, furniture – nothing’s sacred. I’m a bit a of fan of all things vintage, so I’ve put together a mini [...]

Nina’s Bed

I first saw Nina’s House last year when the prototype swept the design blogs. It is pretty impressive and at first glance my inner child had a case of the wanties.
