Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my now 6 yo daughter and about to turn 5 yo boy. They were born 1 year and 3 days apart (Geminis like me) and thus I am left with the task of creating two birthday cakes! Previously I could get away with one unisex cake but not this year. These are the results and both myself and the kids were delighted.

More Etsy favourites

Here are some of my more recent Etsy finds - the play tent from moozlehome is an absolute must it is the nicest I have seen.

I am also enjoying these cute photo prints.

Peanut gallery

It is coming up to my childrens birthdays - I have been wanting some play furniture and http://www.peanutgallery.com.au/ have a great range of pretend and imaginative play incl some great kitchen furniture and wooden toys from Haba.

Kidsmodern

Love this super cute musical box and other childrens stuff from http://www.kidsmodern.com/

French chic bedroom reno

These are some photos of my daughter's room post painting - I know nobody reads my blog but this room was painted very badly in pink, purple and gold - Yes hard to believe and what is worse we did it ourselves. However, it turned out I knew that repainting would be an imporvement. I bought ,my daughter a wooden french antique bed but think maybe I should paint it - I think green as I am a bit over pink. I have included a photo of a similar bed painted a pale pink.

Retro renovation

I have been renovating my children's rooms for the past year - this is a light fitting I installed in my son's room - it reminds me of spaceship style light fittings we had in our Petit & Sevitt style house when we were young.

Sleigh bed

I have always loved sleigh beds but look at this REAL sleigh bed - how amazing I have never seen this before - check it out at http://www.swedishinteriordesign.co.uk/
