Flower power…
September 9, 2013
Autumn is officially here. I’m not a fan of the sudden change from long sunny days to chilly dark evenings and it always takes me a couple of weeks to adjust. So to brighten my mood I wanted to share something colourful and vibrant today and found these pretty floral duvet covers and cute cushions.
I’m loving the bright colors of the duvets and the playful designs of the cushions. My favourite is that bow print cushion with the little pink bow detail on it. All of it is very girly and sweet and perfect for cheering anybody up on this dull, grey day. You’ll find these kids duvet sets and cushions at File dans ta chambre.
A {head-turning} nursery collection…
July 9, 2013
Some years ago while holidaying in Marrakesh, I went to a fun restaurant for dinner with my husband. I don’t remember too much about the food or decor as it wasn’t that memorable but I will never forget that woman who walked in. Tall, lean and statuesque with chocolate coloured skin, wearing a very large brimmed hat and a dramatic outfit. There was a moment of silence as all heads turned to look at her. She wasn’t the most beautiful woman I’ve seen, nor the prettiest but she was definitely unique and the entire package from head to toe was jaw droppingly striking so you couldn’t help but stare (think Grace Jones). And that is how I felt when I first saw this new collection of nursery bedding by Anatology on Peggy’s inspiring blog. Bold, graphic and head turning-ly striking, there’s no holding back here and that’s why this collection really stands out like that statuesque stunner!
Anatology is the creation of Delphine Miquel, a French mama and designer who has obviously got a unique aesthetic sense. All her creations are made in France from soft, natural materials that are perfect for a baby’s skin. Of course this collection has bags of style, of course it has loads of visual appeal but what I love most is that there are no half measures here. This collection was designed to make heads turn and it does without apology. This is Delphine’s first collection called ‘Graphic Jungle’ and and I just can’t wait to see what comes next. If this is the benchmark for all her collections then all I can say is wow!
Florals, solids & stripes…
May 28, 2013
Liberty prints are so pretty and I love them even more when they’re paired with solid and stripes. So when I saw this collection of kids bed linen and accessories I was excited to share them with you. From France, Lab. makes lots or pretty things for babies and kids which include duvet sets, sleeping bags, cushions and more. There are plenty of liberty prints on offer and then there are the solid and stripes which complement them perfectly. I’m especially loving those sweet teddy bear pillows and these single striped linen quilts.
Lab. don’t just make things for kids; they’ve got a lovely adult size collection too. Most of their designs are suitable for any age so you’ve got gorgeous cushions, duvets and quilts in similar prints and colours for grown-ups as well. My favourite liberty print is the pastel one pictured at the top… so delicate and so pretty for any little baby. And I love the turquoise and brown combination for any age.

Feeling green…
May 17, 2013
Yesterday my daughter had a play date with another little girl and they got hooked on the colour green. The two girls kept saying ‘green’ louder and louder and then bursting in to fits of laughter. They then started adding an extra word and coming up with things like ‘green toast’, ‘green dog’… the idea being to pair it with something that most definitely isn’t green. This produced more laughter and eventually the inevitable bathroom humour ensued followed by the loudest giggles ever! I don’t know how 4 year old minds work but I do know this little game tickled them pink! While I didn’t take part in the game, it did get me thinking of the colour green and I realised I’d never done a green post. I always think that green isn’t a colour I’m naturally drawn to but then again there are so many shades of it that there really is a green for everyone (my personal favourite is mint green) and so I thought it would be fun to look for a few things in different shades of green and here’s what I found:
1. green linen sunsuit by wolfechild… 2. minty green toddler duvet set by garbo & friends… 3. forest green firs pillowcase by fine little day… 4. shades of green bird poster by silke bonde… 5. ice-cream green playhouse by lucky boy sunday… 6. dark green book called Grandpa Green by Lane Smith.
Happy weekend all and see you next week!
My kind of circus…
May 8, 2013
Circus themed kids things have been around for ages and aren’t going anywhere in a hurry. While some of them can be cute, it’s the circus inspired harlequin pattern that I love best of all. It’s such a simple geometric pattern that has loads of style without any of the fuss. I love that you can play with many different colours on any harlequin adorned object or you can go for a more minimalistic 2 colour look. I was reminded of how much I love this pattern when I spotted that circus bunny on pinterest so I went looking for a few more things and here’s what I found:
1. Decorative bunny… 2. Harlequin cushions… 3. Porcelain bowl… 4. Animal shorts 5. Circus poster

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.
