BG Christmas Gift Guide: Pyjamas

Welcome to the BG Christmas Gift Guide 2011. I love the tradition of new pyjamas for Christmas.

Here’s our pick of big-top buys.   For the walls, I give you two equally fabulous paper options. 1) The muted vintage sketches of [...]

Cath Kidston rainbow braces

Kids’ trousers are, it seems to me, essentially a nightmare in terms of sizing. By the time they fit on the waist, they’re too short in the leg and I really can’t believe the number of toddler trousers with complicated belts – I struggle to work some of them out myself, so goodness knows how [...]

Spot Red Buggy by Maclaren and Cath Kidston

I was over at the Cath Kidston site checking something out for our latest nursery tour when this buggy caught my eye. Is there a product which hasn’t received the Cath Kidston treatment I wonder? This time it is the Maclaren Quest which has seen designers such as Lulu Guinness and Kate Spade rework the [...]

Room Candy: Louis’ Cath Kidston Room

So many of us have a house with a ‘box room’ which often ends up as the nursery. In my experience people shy away from bright colours or patterns as they think it will overpower the room but Louis’ Mama Ruth shows us how it can work. As the room is small I didn’t see [...]

Nursery Style: Create a feature wall with retro wallpaper

Natalie writes… I’m a big fan of feature walls and we have a couple dotted around the house, with one in the bambino’s bedroom. Wallpapering the entire room can make it all feel a bit busy and closed in but a feature wall opens up the room and creates the illusion of space. As usual, [...]
