Cool chevron style for mama and baby

March 21, 2012

Chevrons seem to be all over at the moment and I’m loving it. Simple graphic patterns like stripes and chevrons work so well across nearly anything and best of all they look so stylish in an understated way… the best way according to me. I’ve picked out some sunny yellow and black chevron adorned goodies for both mama’s and babies:

1. Love this gorgeous black and white chevron print maxi dress by the ever stylish Anthropologie and you could even wear it when pregnant. 2. A sweet airplane baby mobile in yellow and teal by Cactus & Olive. 3. Simple and stylish bird prints for a nursery or an adult space by Tessyla.

4. A super modern and super sophisticated black and white baby blanket by Handmade by Paisley. 5. A yellow and white pinafore style dress that is perfect for spring by Sewn Natural. 6. A very cute chevron print elephant soft toy with big flappy ears by Lil Kingdom.

Cutest animal mobiles!

March 15, 2012

I was browsing the lovely online store Fawn & Forest when these animal shaped mobiles caught my eye. I have a thing for beautiful baby mobiles so when I saw these, it was love! They’re made of untreated laser cut birch wood and come in a range of utterly cute animal shapes. I’m loving the lion one and there’s also an elephant one that I’m pretty keen on. Made by The Modern Baby Company, these baby mobiles are simple, stylish and modern. I like them for a nursery but they’d also look cool in an older kids space. Head to Fawn & Forest where you’ll find these lovelies!

Kids room style: Vintage and unique

March 14, 2012

I come across lots of images of fabulous kids rooms and while I like many of the styles, my favourite decor style is vintage. I love the freedom, creativity and the ‘no rules’ aspect of vintage kids rooms. Mix and match different pieces as you please just like in the 2nd image where even the 2 beds are different and it works so well. There are no rules on colour either, the bolder and brighter the better as in the 3rd image where you have fuchsia and red together. And best of all no 2 rooms will ever be alike so you’ll definitely end up with something very unique. I chose these 3 rooms as I love them all for their individuality and their ability to inspire. And of course if you choose a vintage style, decorating your kids room won’t cost you much as you can scour garage sales or even your own loft and find pieces that you can throw together.

Colour love: Mint green

March 13, 2012

Spring is here and I can’t see beyond mint green at the moment. It’s in the shops, it’s in the magazines and it’s on my mind. It’s such a fresh and vibrant colour and I’m absolutely going crazy for it. So I went on the hunt for some mint green lovelies for the kids and here’s what I found:

1. An old wardrobe given a new lease of life by painting it mint green. Perfect for any kids room, I found this over at style-files.

2. A cute little summer dress with a high seas print by Winter Water Factory.

3. I love the idea of having a single wooden letter on display in a nursery and I love this lower case ‘a’ by Old New Again.

4. Gorgeous little baby ballet shoes by Baby Bloch. You can get these at Bohemia Design.

5. Beautiful mint green and gold wallpaper adorned with colourful humming birds, perfect for kids or adults too. It’s called Grove Garden Wallpaper and it’s from Fabrics & Papers.

6. A sweet little elephant bowl made of stoneware clay and its from A. Speer Ceramic Studio.

7. I just want to eat these mint green cake pops now! The photo is from Fern Lee photography where you’ll also find instructions on how to make these delicious looking treats.

8. An adorable little hand made bunny rabbit wearing mint green and polka dots by Timo Handmade.

9. Last is this lovely, cosy looking quilt with a turtle print on one side and stripes on the other. This one is by Moo Chic Baby.

Colourful things…

March 9, 2012

Yesterday was holi, the Indian festival of colour where you get together with friends and family and everybody smears each other with colour. And of course there’s lots of eating and drinking and making merry! Being Indian, I couldn’t stop thinking about the great times I’ve had in the past as holi really is one of the most fun festivals for adults but even more for kids. So I thought about doing a ‘colourful holi’ inspired post and with that in mind, I’ve picked out 4 super colourful kiddy things that I’ve liked this week and hopefully you will too:

1. I love these tiny little birds that can be made in to so many things like a nursery garland, a brooch, nursery decorations and much more. These pretty birdies are from a shop called Moloco.

2. Shiny, bright fruit and vegetable wooden spinning tops by Londji. Sometimes it’s the traditional toys that are the most fun especially if they look as good as these.

3. These felt baby shoes are just adorable. I love their simple shape and the gorgeous colours. These booties are one to make yourself and you’ll find the instructions over at Purlbee.

4. I’ve been eyeing this colourful tassel garland for ages now. I can just picture a bright white nursery adorned with this large stylish garland to add a splash of colour. You’ll find this at Confetti System.

Nursery style: Natural wood with pale blue

March 6, 2012

I love natural wood for a nursery but I think it’s best to compliment wood with a hint of colour. With that in mind I thought it would be fun to put together a few nursery decor items with a big dose of natural wood and an accent colour. I chose pale blue as the accent colour as I think it works well with the wood and it’s great for boy or girl but of course you can choose many other colours that’ll work for both. I do love the softness of the blue against the solidness of the wood and I think the overall effect is quite cool and calming. Here’s more details on all the stuff I chose:

1. Pale blue Harlequin wallpaper by Ferm Living

2. Wooden collectors house shelf by Kids on Roof

3. Nua bubble round bamboo storage by Red Edition

4. Deer boy art print by Honeycup

5. Flag nursery garland by Colette Bream

6. Wooden robin crib by Oeuf NYC

7. Child’s wood and felt chair by Bookhou

8. Flap ear rattle by Lucky Boy Sunday

9. White felt baby slippers by Pia Wallen

Here are a few more nursery decor ideas… a sunny yellow nursery and a chic black & white nursery.

Nursery garlands: So simple, so stylish

March 1, 2012

I’m extremely partial to a beautiful nursery garland. I’ve been looking out for one for my daughter’s room but the problem is choosing just one. I’ve come across so many beauties that I want them all. Today I’m drooling over these stunning ones by Les Petites Emplettes. It’s their simplicity that makes them so desirable and stylish. Uncomplicated silhouettes of stars, trains and sheep in plain grey felt make for nursery garlands so beautiful. I’m thinking the sheep one may be the one for my daughter. For me, less is always more and this is a perfect example of that philosophy. Visit Les Petites Emplettes where you’ll find these garlands and lots more kids stuff that is super simple but super stylish or there’s a little selection at Smallable.com

Wallpaper lust: Daydream by Julia Rothman

February 14, 2012

If you’re a regular here you’ll know how much I love my wallpaper. I’ve got the stuff pasted on many walls in my home including the bambino’s room where I chose the Pip Early Bird wallpaper. I recently discovered Julia Rothman and her daydream wallpaper. Birds floating amongst clouds in the most beautiful colourways is what I saw and it was love. It would make a fabulous style statement in a nursery or kids space but would also be equally at home in an adult space… just the kind of thing that floats my boat. I’m very keen on the design but I also love the range of colours that this bird wallpaper comes in; there are muted and soft colours as well as impactful and bright colours. Julia Rothman is a Brookyn based designer who creates bold and whimsical designs not just to adorn wallpapers but also books, wall prints, totes and more. Check out Julia’s work at her site of head to Hygge & West for this wonderful and floaty birdy wallpaper.

Cool tapestry rugs for a kiddy space

February 13, 2012

Bobo Choses is a super cool kiddy clothes brand from sunny Spain and I’m a huge fan. I’ve brought you their collections before and I’ve since discovered their home collection where they’ve got some funky rugs and chairs on offer. I’m especially loving the rugs, many of which are playground themed and then there’s also the lovely camping themed one. The little childlike illustrations of the swings, slides and see-saws are just adorable as are the colour combo’s especially the burnt orange colour which features on many of the rugs. These tapestry rugs are hand made in India and Peru and would look cool not just as rugs but also as wall hangings in a kids space. Bobo Choses have now got an online store so head there to check out their home wares as well as their trendy clothes.

Nursery style: Cool blue for girls

February 3, 2012

Blue for boy… not this time! This is a cool blue nursery for a girl. If you’re a regular around here you’ll know that I’m not a blue for boy and pink for girl type of mama. So when I saw this nursery I loved it because it shows how blue can work so well for a girl too. And besides the colour, I love the way the nursery has been put together. It’s a mixture of styles with modern stuff as well as vintage, with retro and contemporary vibes making it a very unique and individual space. I’ve also spotted decor stuff from many of my favourite kids brands like Lale, Ferm Living, Lucky boy Sunday and more. The creator of this space has mixed different shades of blue from very pale to deep and then added splashes of other colours which all come together so well. To find our more about all the goodies in this room, head to Style Cookie where I found this room.
