10 Best: ideas for a robot-themed room

In the 50s, pretty much everyone believed that robots would be commonplace in every home by the year 2000, and I have to admit, having grown up with Tomorrow’s World in the 80s, I kinda hoped it would be true, too.

Six of the best animal cushions

My love of (OK, unhealthy obsession with) cushions is well-documented on BG and, inspired by my recent revisit to Zid Zid Kids, I’ve been hunting out the most fabulous  soft furnishing fauna on the web and, my, was it a tough job narrowing it down to six. First up, My Dear Darling’s fab monkey pillow, $38 (plus [...]

You could easily theme a whole nursery around products from her shop. [...]

Fairytale Prints by The Yellow House

All little girls (and some little boys) love fairytale princesses, but fairytale-themed art can sometimes be overly cutesy, old-fashioned or Disneyfied.

Quirky and modern, the limited-edition screenprints feature a cool blue Cinderella or a feisty scarlet Little Red Riding Hood. [...]
