"kast van een huis cabinets"

Oh. My. God.  I nearly busted something when I spotted these Amsterdam Cabinets. Stun-ning!  Which mama wouldn’t like to get her hands on these oh so uber-amazing wardrobes for the bambino’s room?  I can’t think of many.  Created by a Dutch mama who wasn’t happy with the kiddy furniture on offer, she made her own.  Just the kind of mama designer we heart around here.  She wanted to design something that had timeless style and would bring a smile to your face.  And boy, did she succeed!

The Amsterdam cabinets come in 11 different colours ranging from the boldest and brightest to the lightest and you can choose hanging rail and shelves or just shelves.  Having just one would look pretty darn cool but to get the complete ‘Amsterdam houses in a row look’ you’ll need to stretch to around 3 (and believe me there will be stretching involved!).  The Amsterdam Cabinets are made by the Dutch mama’s company called Kast Van Een Huis and are offered with 3 different Gable types and in 4 different sizes.  They’re available in the UK from Bobo Kids and cost from around €695 each.  Cheap they’re not, but chic they are.  If like me, your budget doesn’t stretch to them, then weep not, there’s always admiring from afar (ok weep!).

"takae mizutani castle egg and soldiers"

Egg cups come in every shape and colour possible, but how often do you get something to house the soldiers in?  Takae Mizutani, the designer of these, found you never did and she didn’t like the idea of the soldiers being neglected.  After all what is an egg without the soldiers (kind’a like a 2yr old without tantrums… where’s the fun in that?).  So she designed this fabby set where the soldiers arrive on horseback to accompany the egg perched atop a castle.  I’m liking her thinking.  The  Takae Mizutani egg cup and soldiers set is available in white or a natural sandy coloured finish and the set costs £19.50 plus £2.99 delivery.

"urban elk baby bed set"

I’m a bit fussy when it comes to bambino bedding… OK, a lot fussy!  So, I don’t often bring you baby bedsets, kiddy duvet covers and the rest.  But when I do, you can rest assured it’s passed my fussy mama test with top marks.  And today I’m super happy to bring you bed sets from Urban Elk.  Hot Scandi design embellished with their native elk’s, create simple but super sweet n’ stylish bedding for little peeps.  The bed sets come in sizes for babies and juniors and contain a pillowcase and duvet cover.  The colours on offer include a deep red, plummy purple, sky blue and more.  At the moment you can buy these direct from the Urban Elk site and they cost from €46.80 plus delivery at €20.  Delivery is super steep as they’re shipped from Denmark, but these bed sets should be available from UK stores soon.
