I am loving these knitted cabinets… how cool are they?! And they not only look amazing but they’re portable too. They can work in any kiddy or adult space but I’m especially loving it for a baby and toddler room. The cabinet can be placed on the legs or on the floor so making it accessible for small hands too. You can store all manner of things from toys to books to clothes for the bambino. I’m picturing a rustic, bohemian chic nursery with lots of vintage touches and one of these cabinets to finish off the look.
These knitted cabinets are designed by Beril Cicek, a young Turkish designer. She focuses on hand made products using natural materials especially wood. To find out more about these gorgeous cabinets visit Beril’s site.
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.
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.

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.

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!).
