room for kids : sugar and spice

When Mum, Hana, of Hana Lynch Photography put together a new space for her daughters, she chose twin beds over a bunk and completed the symmetrical feel with matching blue quilts.

A wee library nook was a must. Says Hana, "The girls love the reading area filled with all of their favourite books, we read together daily so it was important for them to have easy access to their books."

"I created the fabric garland over my daughter’s bed by tearing strips of fabric, lace, and ribbon and tying them onto a long strip of twine," Hana explained. "I added embellishments like buttons, charms, and drapery clips to hang photos and mementos."

Hana's splurge item was the light blue Moroccan Pouffe, but she still nabbed it at a discount by buying it online from UK store Bohemia for $105 USD then saved on the cost of filling by stuffing it with old sheets and towels.

The sisters also love their kitchen,"We have a lot of tea parties in our house!" Hana revealed.

Pink rosette cushions and a cuddly stuffed lamb add warmth to each sister's baby blue bed.



vibe
Sweet and ruffled. Hana combined her crafty DIY skills with some careful colour coordination of items old and new to create a candy-coloured space for two.

room for baby : like toy soldiers

Please welcome one of our lovely new baby space contributors, Nicole Rosenburg from Little Liberty.

The shelving unit holds an array of vintage and vintage-inspired finds in bright tones of red and blue.

Paddington Bear was one of the first additions to the room and he sits proudly above the shelving unit. The old suitcase, the wheelbarrow and the toffee tin were found at Mill Market in Daylesford.


vibe
I’m obsessed with all things vintage at the moment (I think everyone is!) and so I decided to theme our son Archie’s room around strong colours, old world charm and modern vintage pieces.

happy mother's day

From our baby space to yours, we wish you the most magical Mother's Day.

fun stuff (sort of) : parcel in the mail

One day we were having breakfast when we heard a thump at the front door. It was a parcel for the preschooler.


He ripped it open, 'read' the card and looked at the cover of the beautiful book from his faraway friend Sophie.


I asked him if he wanted me to read him the book. He said, 'No.'


'Why?'
'Because I miss them.'


A few days later he still doesn't want me to read the book. He did agree to send Sophie a present though. He had a very specific idea of what it should be...
