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:

An elephant in the room…

July 23, 2013

I love grey. As I’m getting older I think I’m loving it more and more not only as a colour to wear but also as a colour to decorate with. I’m especially loving it for a nursery because I find the colour quite calming. And besides you can add hints of practically any other colour and it will work with grey. So when I saw this delightful new Elephant crib by Oeuf NYC I thought it would be fun to put together a few things to go with it. The Elephant crib is Oeuf’s latest offering and it really does resemble an elephant, don’t you think? I love the playful design as well as the rounded edges and the whole modern vibe. Here are my picks for a modern grey nursery:

1. Plum & pink hearts garland… 2. Mary Poppins poster… 3. Grey sheep duvet set… 4. Knitted sheep soft toy… 5. Elephant crib… 6. Hanging pendant lights

Happy nursery furniture and wall stickers (giveaway included)

October 17, 2011

Recently, I discovered BM2000 and I was smitten. Read on to find out more about them and about the cool GIVEAWAY.

BM2000 are Spanish and make bold, bright and playful nursery and kids room furniture as well as some very cool animal wall stickers. It’s their use of colour that really brings their creations to life. I was lucky enough to have a chat with their chief designer Carlos Tiscar. Read on the find out more about the talent behind these creations.

But first, the giveaway: BM2000 have kindly offered to giveaway one of their cool wall stickers to one lucky reader.

That’s all you have to do… easy, peasy! (See the end of this post for full details).

Back to this joyful nursery furniture which includes coloured cots, bright wardrobes and toddler beds, colourful storage boxes and more. The furniture designed by Carlos is fun and playful as well as being practical. Carlos told me he was one of 5 kids and so there was lots of play in his home. He and his 4 sisters would create games out of any objects they could get their hands on… ” My father was a topographer and with his telescopic tripod and a blanket we made a wonderful tepee”. It’s from such memories and happy times that Carlos gets his inspiration. His amazing sense of colour comes from a desire to be contemporary and current as Carlos explains “I pay attention to colour schemes in the fashion industry too”. Carlos’ formula of mixing vibrant colours with lots of fun makes for nursery furniture so contemporary, cool and happy. And that’s what BM2000 offer… happy, fun and stylish furniture and wall stickers for kids and babies. To check out their goodies head to their site: BM2000 where you can see a list of stockists too.

A vintage baby cot so hot

April 7, 2011

Vintage baby furniture is oh so charming. And none more so than this vintage inspired cot on wheels. By the French Laurette Deco, this cot has mountains of style and just oozes charm. And the colours… soft yet impactful, muted yet bold and simply beautiful. Luckily I’m not in the cot market cos choosing one would be just too hard. But whichever one tickles your fancy, you just can’t go wrong. And being a cot on wheels, it’s rather handy to move your bambino around, especially in the super early (sleepless) days and nights. Any nursery with this cot is guaranteed to have the wow factor. This Roulotte cot is available from Bobo Kids in London. They’re not yet online but there’s always the good ol’ telephone. You can also check this beauty out at Laurette Deco where it costs €795 but you’ll have to brush up on your French skills. If you’re looking to splash out on your nursery, then this is a must have… vintage baby cots just don’t get much hotter than this!

Objects of desire: A coloured cot so hot

January 27, 2011

Lust. That’s where I’m at today. These stunning coloured cots by Kalon Studios are the object of my lust. I’m staring wantingly at all the sumptuous colours on offer. I’m loving the bold straight lines contrasted with the dainty curved feet and the classic shape given a contemporary twist with the coloured rails. What beauties! Called Caravan Cribs, they’re made by a US-German team who pride themselves on sustainability and eco-friendliness. They come in sunny yellow, classic black, peachy pink, aqua blue and lime green. The Caravan Cribs converts to junior beds, cost $895 each and shipping to the UK costs $110. At that price, these beauties will have to remain objects of desire!

Bye bye Brio Sleep Cotbed

October 26, 2010

I wanted to get a quick post in about these divine cots from Brio. The Brio Sleep Cotbed, like much of what Brio offer, is hot property! But sadly they’re not going to be around for much longer. So think of this as a farewell note to a nursery great! If you’re super quick, you can probably just about grab one.

The Brio Sleep Cotbed is lovely and roomy. It measures 140cms x 70cms and starts life as a cot with 3 adjustable positions and eventually when your kiddo is ready, remove all the sides and you’ve got a junior bed. But there are other combos you can create in between. We’ve got one and I love it for it’s smooth, sleek lines, the curved ends, the glossy finish and the lovely colours. Choose from sunny yellow or raspberry red. The Brio Sleep Cotbed’ll last a good 5-6 years and costs £249 with free delivery from the lovely Lula Sapphire. It’s about the only place with any left. Bye, bye Brio Sleep – we’ll miss you!

UPDATE on 21.04.2011: Brio Sleep cot bed sold out at Lula Sapphire. You can try Funktionalley but they’re a lot more expensive on there.

For some more lovely coloured cots check out Kalon Studios Caravan Crib if you’re after a splurge. or if you’re looking for a style steal then have a look at the Ikea Somnat cots.

Style that definitely won’t break the bank

August 12, 2010

I’ve just spotted these and had to share. They’re the new Somnat cots from ikea available in blue, a limey green and pink. I do love coloured cots and these are no exception. They’re sure to liven up any baby nursery, and the best part, wait for it… they’re just £49. They have 2 sleep positions, the mattress isn’t included and so far it’s only available in store, not online. Talk about style on a budget… it doesn’t get much better than this!
