Vintage ballet room

Firstly, I apologise for being missing in action. I seem to have been caught up in the details of everyday life and have been neglecting my blog. My bad.


One of the things I have been working on is a gorgeous vintage ballet room for a 7 year old girl. Have a look at a few of the things I have found. Makes me want to get out my tutu!

The beautiful black and white posters are from All Posters and the lampshade is made from Cath Kidston's ballet fabric- which seems to have been discontinued. Hmm- better start searching on Ebay.

Okay, I admit it, I want this for myself.

Looking at an email from the fabulous kids product blog LMNOP this morning, this gorgeous MoMA Modern Play House jumped out at me. It comes from the Museum of Modern Art Store in New York, and includes 6 nesting boxes, 8 mix and match furniture pieces, 12 removable vinyl clings and as it says on their site "endless possibilities". There is a play family available too. Yes- just think of the fun I could have! The problem would be keeping my daughter away from it. I am a very selfish mother...

And yes, they ship internationally. Oh dear.

Oodles of great art at Nootles

Sheridan from Nootles (so called because her son can't pronounce "Noodles") contacted me this morning to tell me all about her company. I visited her website and loved what I saw. What fresh, vibrant children's wall art! The thing I like most about it is that a lot of these pieces will be great as the kids grow up- or in a teenagers room now. They have a real "pop-art" feel about them- a bit Andy Warhol-esque but in a child friendly way. They would also look fab in a playroom, or even in grown up living spaces. They are printed on high quality canvas and have a fast turnaround, so you won't be waiting forever for your masterpiece. Check them out and start your gallery now!

Children's Lighting

If you are looking for something to light up your little one's life, check out new online store Children's Lighting. They have some cute, original lights for kid's rooms- and that can be hard to find. I really like the flower ball and the ABC ball (it would be very cute in an alphabet themed room). And at these prices you can afford to change them later on when your child grows out of them.

Babiekins Magazine- featuring us!

The lovely Priscila from Little Miss Heirlooms has just launched her online magazine "Babiekins". It features lots of great articles and lovely photography- and an article by me about making vintage decor work in a modern room. Check it out and make sure you subscribe so you don't miss an issue!

Boy do I want to hitch my little Red Wagon to this site!

Yesterday I had an email from Brooke from a company called Red Wagon, asking if I would be interested in having a look at some of their products. I clicked on the site and fell instantly in lust. Just look at this wallart! And if you love the pictures but don't have a spot to put them on your wall you can buy them as pendants and wear them around your neck! The range also has great bibs, toys, gorgeous felt food, cushion covers, wrapping paper, party invitations....I could go on and on but have a look for yourself. If you'd like to order anything, stockists are listed on the site or I can order the wall art for you- just drop me an email. Prepare to fall in love....
