Emil’s Room

Wow, this is just the coolest kids room. I love the grocers stall, the picture has been in my inspiration folder for a while now and I keep coming back to it, I think it would be a big hit at our house.

Nursery Sneak Peak

Here’s a quick peak at the nursery. I finished the painting a couple of weeks ago and although it’s only a tiny room, the taping for the stripes dragged it out a bit, but even so it only took a weekend. Really happy with the results, but we still have a couple of final touches – a cover for the chair, a lovely Naoko Stoop print on order, and awaiting the blinds – just a plain, white Roman blind. Eight weeks to go!

Favourite Kid-Size Chairs

I’m currently hunting around for upholstery ideas for kids chairs. I picked up a cheap chair at a second hand shop this week and want to have a go at reupholstering it (emphasing the “have a go” as I’ve never done anything of the sort before). It’s currently in Noah’s room as his special reading chair or his “sits” as he calls it.
These are some of my favourite ideas so far. I absolutely love the tub chair (bottom), covered in Pierre Frey fabric, just gorgeous. Has anyone ever had a go at something like this? I’m told it’s best to have it professionally done, but I’m determined to DIY, any advice?

Lad & Lass



Australian online store Lad & Lass have the most beautiful collection of homewares for children’s rooms. I just love the Animal Alphabet drum lampshade, so sweet. Their prints are all designed to fit inside IKEA frames so no need to splash out on expensive framing. Lad & Lass are currently selling their collection via their Etsy store, but keep an eye out for their new online shop Ball & Skittle, opening soon.

Playroom Inspiration



I love lots of colour in kids playrooms, they look so much fun. We’re still working on ours, but it is progressing albeit slowly. I’ve put it on the backburner for a bit to get the kids rooms finished before baby arrives. Hopeing to have photos to share with you soon …
