Store those toys in style!

December 15, 2014

With Anya’s birthday in December and then Christmas, the build-up of toys, games and gifts is endless in this house. We gather more stuff in December than the rest of the year combined! So I’m always looking for ways to store all her ~~junk~~ new belongings. I am partial to toy storage sacks as not only do they look stylish but it’s oh so easy to tidy up – just throw all the toys and mess in to them and you’ve tidied up in minutes. Here are a few toy storage sacks I’m loving at the moment and having a hard time choosing between. Many of them come in different designs and colours so just check out the links to see more. And any of them would be great to store all the new Christmas goodies:

The cutest toy storage sacks…

October 9, 2014

These have got to be the cutest toy storage sacks ever! Even though they’re made of paper they’re durable and the little faces and hearts are all hand painted on. We are hoping to move house soon and if all goes to plan, I’m definitely getting a couple of these for Anya’s room and maybe even a black heart one as a laundry bag for me. Such a simple and sweet idea… too cute!

A twin baby nursery

August 19, 2014

I recently came across a new nursery furniture range from Spain and I loved the modern lines and colourful accents. The range consists of cribs like the ones pictured above, chests of draws in a range of sizes, striped teepees and more. The nursery furniture has a contemporary vibe with unexpected little details like the angled legs and of course the cool colour accents. I chose my two favourite colours to share but there are many more including a beautiful wood and white one. This furniture is the the creation of one of my favourite Barcelona based shops for kids – if you are ever in Barcelona, do check out Nobodinoz but otherwise they are online too.

Rather than just show you the furniture, I thought it would be fun to create a baby nursery mood board and for a change I decided to go for a shared baby boy and girl nursery space – maybe for boy and girl twins. Here’s where you’ll find all the stuff:

Kids room ideas: black and white with a hint of pink

July 23, 2014

I think if I ever move to another career it would have to be something to do with decorating babies and kids rooms. I love putting together inspiration and ideas for how to create a beautiful nursery space or a kiddy space. My favourite style is Scandinavian and right now I’m really partial to black and white rooms especially with a subtle hint of another colour. For this mood board I’ve added a dash of pink to brighten up the black and white. Here’s where you’ll find the picks:

Cutest toy storage + mini table

March 26, 2014

A long while ago I brought you these adorable space-saving desks perfect for adults or kids. Those desks were by Torafu Architects, a Japanese design house, who have 2 new designs that I’m loving and think you will too. The first is this colourful toy storage trolley and the second is that cute folding table. Both are practical, space-saving and beautiful.

Torafu Architects are great at transforming everyday furniture in to something special. I am very much a believer that everyday stuff should also look beautiful because it is so much a part of your daily life.

Sweet hearts

January 30, 2014

With Valentines day coming up, I’ve got hearts on the mind. Of all the hearts out there, my favourite right now are these adorable heart shelves. They’re so cute for a nursery or kids room or even for my bathroom. And they’re especially handy for storing all those little toys that keep finding their way under your feet! You know the ones I mean…

mama & baby…

This week’s picks for mama & baby… let mama decorate with this gorgeous ceremonial kite created in honour of Flora (the goddess of flowers) while baby decorates with that pretty floral toy storage case.

In the mood for gold…

March 19, 2013

I think I have a bit of an obsession with the colour gold. I love wearing gold jewellery and having gold accents in my home. It’s a colour that’s rich and warm and works best when used sparingly. I particularly love that there are so many different tones and shades to gold so you can chose to bling it up or tone it down. It’s not a colour you would immediately associate with a nursery or toddler’s room but I love the idea of adding gold accessories and accents in a kids space especially when paired with lots of white. I went looking for some gold nursery decorations and here’s what I loved:

1. Black and gold cloud mobile… 2. Mexican inspired Concha chair… 3. Mr Mustache print… 4. Straw storage baskets with gold sequins… 5. Toadstool night light from smallable.com… 6. Set of raindrop cushions… 7. Organic stars duvet set.

Little things I’m loving…

February 6, 2013

I have a folder on my laptop called ‘little things’ where all the inspiring and beautiful things, humorous things, quirky things and the things that make me smile get put away. Today I thought I would share some of my current favourites:

Love this simple DIY shelf to store all those little toys.

I want to adopt these quirky hand made twins!

I want to try and make this gorgeous DIY pierrrot style collar.

Love the neon and pastel colour scheme and that beaded hanging light.

Stylish storage…

January 8, 2013

My daughters birthday is in December, just a couple of short weeks before Christmas. That means come December we have an overload of new toys, games, books, clothes… the works! For the first time this past December we had a proper birthday party for her which meant even more stuff. Come the new year I seriously feel like her things have increased 10-fold. While the big things always find a home, it’s the little bits and pieces that cause the problems and the mess. Apart from giving a load of stuff to charity, I’m always on the look out for new storage solutions and when I last went looking, I found these super stylish storage sacks by Varpunen. They come in 3 different sizes which are perfect for storing small and medium sized toys and besides they look great. I love their geometric patterns; some subtle some bold but all cool and classy. I’m loving the idea of having 3 or 4 of these lined up holding a range of different toys. Of course these Varpunen storage sacks aren’t just for kids, they’d be equally at home in an adult space keeping your things tidy.
