Label Love: Moochic Baby
Ok, so it’s not our usual kaleidoscope of colour, but I’m seriously loving the hand block-printed cotton of Moochic Baby. The company was launched by two mama friends, Aneesha and Yuva, in 2010, using designs handed down through the generations. Made in India from 100% cotton, the range includes 1m square muslin swaddle blankets, top, [...]
Alain Gree Prints from Anorak Magazine
I am on the hunt for prints to decorate Monty and Betsy’s new room. Even though I know I’m getting ahead of myself when I can barely open the door to decorate said room that’s not holding me back! Number one on my print wish list is this pair of Alain Grée prints newly available [...]
Solitaire alphabet print
Amazing alphabet ahoy! Once again, I’m on the hunt for fabulous nursery art for the new arrival’s room. I’m working with an orange/grey/red colour scheme, but I am drawn to this cool green screen-printed A-Z from husband and wife team Matt and Em Bruty, aka Solitaire. I particularly love the muddy dog, quacking duck and [...]
Hot! Made with Love by Mrs Booth animal alphabet prints
Wowsers! The ever-creative Mrs Booth has a whole new collection of prints and, boy, are they fabulous. From A is for Anteater to Z is for Zebra, they are all irresistible (although I am seriously coveting the quiffed quail). Each A4 print is £15 (or £18 personalised) – I LOVE the idea of framing a [...]
Savage Seeds felt woodland animal toys/cushions
Woodland creatures are hot property at the moment and these felt critters from US-based Etsian Savage Seeds are, frankly, scorchio. There are ten forest friends to choose from, so you’ll be spoiled for choice, but how about a racoon, squirrel or wolf instead of the ubiquitous owl or fox? The eco-friendly felt is made from [...]
Chris Haughton Owl Rug
While I may not be a huge fan of endless character products one or two choice products from book illustrations prove irresistible. When I spotted Chris Haughton had collaborated with Design Museum to create a rug featuring his A Bit Lost Owl illustration I was weak at the knees. If you’re not familiar with the [...]
Inspiration: DIY Rainbow Lamp Shade
I have been looking around for inspiration for a little decoration project I’ve got going on (sloooowly) and I came across this fun tutorial. I am a big lover of rainbows and this is an inexpensive way to create a bright rainbow light for a child’s room. Visit The Swell Life to see how it’s [...]
Sass & Peril screenprinted goodies
Loving the animal designs over at California-based screenprinters Sass & Peril (great name, too). Each item is hand-printed using non-toxic inks onto natural materials so you can rest assured they’re safe for your child. In the Etsy store you’ll find a host of unusual cards, artworks (I love this lion on wood, about £18, top), [...]
We Love Rice DK
I looked around the kitchen recently and realised that the kids and I have become more than a little Rice DK obsessed. The Danish fairtrade design company is hot, hot, hot, and popping with colour mixed with an eclectic granny boho appeal that has me wanting to fill up the house with it. Here are [...]
Bright Inspiration
Here are a few of the things brightening my bookmarks lately. 1. Loving these Crumpled City Junior maps. You can buy one for Amsterdam, Berlin, London, New York and Paris. €10 (+ €6 postage to Europe) from Palomar. Spotted via Dicky Bird. 2. Neons are everywhere this season (an aside: soooo tempted to break out [...]
JeniM Design prints
Loving the minimalist designs of Jeni M. Alfie has the divine Jungle Safari Art print, but I was torn between that and the pleasingly repetitive pattern of the Jungle Safari Stack, above. I’m also digging the rainbow umbrella, below, the bears in the forest and (surprise, surprise) the owl line-up. All prints are $20 (about [...]

Coming Soon & Just In at Hunkydory Home – Woodland bedding by ISAK & alphabet partyware
When we upgrade Saria to a big girl’s bed (we’re thinking a bunkbed at the moment), Sandra Isaksson of ISAK’s woodland bedding for Swedish design house Mairo will definitely have to grace it. Big eyed creatures in a retro palette of orange, brown, yellow, and blue, charm their way across the covers with a complimenting [...]
Zoe Est lion print
You can’t beat a touch of African-inspired print – naif shapes and vibrant hues are ideal for a child’s room. This lion print is my pick of the collection of children’s art at Zoe Est Studio. It’s a giclee of an illustration by Michael Woods and comes signed, dated and numbered by that artist. [...]
Hot shop: French Blossom
Ooh la la! French Blossom Gallic emporium for children stocks exclusively French designs and, quite frankly, is chic, chic, chic. In the toy section you’ll recognise familiar names such as Vilac, Janod, Baghera and Trousselier, while the home and design department has Mimi’Lou, Poisson Bulle and Bakker Made With Love. But it’s the less well-known [...]
