Noix de Coc’ Floor Cushion
It’s a badly kept secret that I’m obsessed with cushions (look out for my imminent round-up of those of the animal variety) – Alfie has a book nook he can barely squeeze into so high has the level of soft and squishy items risen. So, I thought I had all bases covered until I spotted [...]
Click Click: Love Post!
Always on the hunt for affordable artwork, I felt the ‘ole shopping palpitations kick into high gear when I clapped eyes on the hotness that is Devon based Love Post!, a veritable mini haven of delightful posters and cards, with sweet, bold graphics mixed with retro influence. They’re ‘Love’ collection of posters is a delight [...]
Animal Index
The beastly collection continues apace, and now it’s creeping onto the nursery bookshelves in the form of these cute little Animal Index critters. Also appealing to my Bree Van der Kamp-like organisational obsession, you can use these handy dividers to separate the vintage Ladybird tomes from the That’s Not My… books and avoid any confusion [...]
Animal Tails T-shirts Featuring Endangered Species
I saw this line of organic, ethical clothing featuring endangered species by Animal Tails when I was Bubble, the kids fashion trade show last summer, and was draw Ethically produced, certified organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard, and donating 1% of their net profits to the Africat Foundation which works to protect some of [...]
Rainbow Alphabet
Soon there won’t be room on the nursery walls for any more animal alphabets, but until that day I’ll just keep on snapping them up. My latest discovery is this giclee print of whimsical creatures by Katy Holmes (no, not that one, she’s probably too busy with Scientology to be an illustrator) which also has [...]
Kidorable Animal Umbrellas
I must be going through an ‘umbrella moment’ as I mentioned the Celia Birtwell one on Nest Goodies (it’s back in stock), Djeco’s bamboo delights, and now the very playful pirate umbrella by Kidorable, as held by Mathilda Ledger on the Droolicious blog yesterday. The quirk with these kiddy cute umbrella’s is the pop [...]
Chloe Owens
I spotted the work of London based textile designer Chloe Owens after catching a convo on Twitter about Anorak Magazine (great mag for over 5′s) and became instantly fixated by her eye catching, retro-triffic creations made from 1960s fabrics featuring applique, stitched drawings, and machine embroidery. I got the notification that her online shop [...]
5 Hot Elephant Buys for Kids Rooms
Contemporary and retro animal inspired buys are a big trend with kids gear, especially our well documented grand love affair with owls and a recent interest in horses. But they’d better watch out for the mighty elephant with these three cool buys for children’s spaces. Frank & Fischer’s elephant coat rack which is also available [...]
Bespoke Patchwork Owl Quilt
I really do have a thing for patchwork quilts at the moment and my love of owls is well-documented, so imagine my delight when I spotted this while trawling Etsy for a birthday present. At $150 (plus $18.50 shipping), it’s definitely an investment piece but, like the Birds on a Line quilt that we recently [...]
Sneaky Preview: Owl children’s accessories by Ferm Living
Feast your eyes on the owl fest that is this beautiful range of goodies by Danish design company Ferm Living. I’m a tad besotted with Trine Anderson who takes a lot of her inspiration from Scandinavian nature and this latest range has seen the cool peeps at 95% Danish give exclusivity to Cloudberry Living to [...]
Bold & Noble Mammals Print
I’ll readily admit to having a fetish for Bold & Noble’s strikingly modern screen prints – their Creatures A-Z was the first artwork I bought for our nursery (having cunningly persuaded Jane to make it in Poppy Red for me), closely followed by Birds Around Britain in Azure Blue. They look fabulous in pale wooden [...]
Bear and Bunny Stackable Storage Units
There’s something more than a little bonkers looking about these bear and bunny fabric covered stackable storage units. The wacky facial expressions make them instantly lovable. There’s two storage boxes with a lid each that can be lifted off with the ears and arms. Loving the little feet too. £25 each at the V&A Shop [...]
Bedroom Tour: White outdoor inspired boy space
When south London interior designer Tina Moore created her now four year old son’s living space, she had her heart set on a “spacious play area with a modern twist” that was inspired by her sons love of the outdoors. Meeting the brief and then some, what’s resulted is a cool, airy space full of [...]
Jane Foster Designs
Last week we featured the nursery of Jane Foster’s daughter, Polly, which is an explosion of colour and design. If you are feeling inspired by her retro-a-go-go style but don’t know where to lay your hands on the vintage goodies then step inside Jane’s shop. Her cushions alone could bankrupt me as every single one [...]
Eric Carle Decorative Prints
I am sure I’m not alone in my love of Eric Carle. With The Very Hungry Caterpillar turning 40 this year there is a veritable boom of products sporting the distinctive collages from the book. One that has me all excited is the Eric Carle Decorative Prints set. It is collection of 12 prints from [...]
