Decker – bus print storage bench

Ah, we’re a bit weak for cool storage around here plus we love transport inspired goodies for kids, so of course I could feel the shopping palpitations seizing me when I saw this Decker storage bench over at Made.com.

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. Sadly, with maybe the exception of Japan, our world is lacking in automated help, but [...]

Who doesn’t love the circus as a motif? It’s an absolutely brilliant theme for a child’s room as it combines vibrant colour, animals and (providing your offspring isn’t a coulrophobic) clowns. 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 [...]

Rolobox – Transform Cardboard Boxes Into Pull-Along Toys

The amount of online shopping that goes on in this house means that a lot of cardboard boxes end up in the recycling bin, so I like this idea for reusing them.

These storage cases and drinking bottles by Norwegian company Blafre Design are swoonerific [...]

The Decluttering Toys Project

The sheer volume of toys in our home has been driving me near to insane. Every time the kids play, we look like we’ve been burgled and there just seems to be so much of it. Despite pleas to 1) go easy on toy buying and 2) to spare us battery toys, our cries have [...]
