Roald Dahl Fantabulous Collection

Well, this definitely appealed to the child in me. I was (still am) a huge fan of Roald Dahl books as a child and it was nostalgia that got me checking out this new textile range. Illustrations from the likes of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr Fox, Matilda, The BFG, The Twits and other well known books make up this charming children's textile collection. I like that this range is unisex and you just know that parents will get a kick out of these fabrics as well as the children. Available in New Zealand through Charles Parson.

Sophisicated Kid's Bedrooms

Here are two kid's bedrooms that I came across via Elle Decor and they belong to the children of actress Reese Witherspoon. I was impressed to see them very chic and sophisicated with antique furnishings. There is a 1830's Swedish table, a vintage chair and 1920's tole chandelier in the girl's bedroom, while the boy's room contains an antique desk, a Turkish rug and an Italian mirror. This is a nice change from the usual young people bedrooms that we usually see.
You can see the rest of Witherspoon's Ojai home here.

Baby Kangaroo

I have a brand new nephew! He was born in the early hours of yesterday and my sister (a complete star) made me an Aunty again. He really is a lovely wee thing so with baby on the brain, here is the gorgeous baby animals series by animal photographer, Sharon Montrose. These are perfect for babies' nurseries and kid's bedrooms. I could stare at these photos all day long.
