Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice

I have always wanted to design a little girls nursery, if I did it might look something like this. I love the mix of old and new, modern crib, crisp white frames, with the more traditional elements, chandelier, vintage chairs and of course pink. Just beautiful.

Rocket Man

As I was flipping through the SMH one morning my son stopped me to show me a very cool rocket that took up a full page, as a little boy he obviously loves rockets. I started noticing these posters all around Sydney so I called Amex and asked them if I could have one. And guess what they said yes. So it has turned from this...


To this ...
OK, so initially they sent me a much smaller version but of course I wasn't happy with that. I called JC Decaux and they happily gave me a real bus shelter version. It is huge, and my little rocket man loves it.

Now I have my eyes on the new Channel lipstick poster, it would look pretty cool in the room of my teenage niece.

Teenage Girls Room

I love this room for a teenage girl, once they start moving from the total pink phase the black adds drama whilst still being feminine. So many elements I love in this photo, the twin beds with a beautifu bedhead, the fornasetti plates, ikat on the bed and the gold lamp, just stunning.

Aeroplane Wall Art

I am in love with this wonderful collection of aeroplanes from a book in the home of Dwell Studio's creator Jennifer Chused. Does anyone know what the book is at all? I would love to replicate this look in my son's bedroom.

Beautiful Kids Beds

At Raffan Kelaher and Thomas Auction House this week they have two very similar cedar single beds for sale, wouldn't they look beautiful, side by side in a child's room.

Sebastian's Bed Before and After

Here are a couple of before and after photos of Sebastian's new bed. We purchased the bed on ebay for .99cents plus a can of paint for $30 and a lot of hard work from my husband. Sebastian is now very pleased with the result as you can see, his now loves looking out the window spying on the unsuspecting neighbour behind us.

Cool Kids

I am loving the bed linen from Kideko at the moment and I have decided I am going to get the Action Set (lightning bolts) for my little boy once he graduates from his crib to a big boy bed. But the yellow set Sunshine is also really cute and would be great in a room shared by a boy and girl, I particularly like the ROCK poster.
