Kid's room garlands.

I can't think of anything that says Summer decorating more than a few paper garlands strung carelessly around a kid's room.
And they're so easy and cheap to make too...there's a few D.I.Y. examples here

Tree houses for grown-ups.

Oh yes...we're talking outdoor spaces for the kids...must be the school holidays approaching. Only this time I'm indulging an adult desire for a classic tree house. The closest I've ever got to one of my own was a platform built around an Oak tree in my Dad's back garden...and that was for my nephews...so I wasn't officially allowed access...
It looked a bit like this...

...but I saw the potential...and would've been happy with this...

But how about these...sorry kids, the 'health and safety' bods would say it's too dangerous...so I guess these homes-from -home are just for the grown-ups...

Kid's room decor...dark walls.

Am I being a bit of a rebel here, or just a fool for ignoring the current love of 'all-white' kid's rooms...? Don't panic, I am still smitten by the popular Scandi-style decor but just fancied a little something different...

Cute crochet ideas for kid's rooms.

After many years of apparent inability I have finally mastered the art of crochet!
To say I've mastered this particular craft is probably a little premature...I've been on Pinterest, I've seen what the real masters can make...!
But I'm producing these little grey rectangles at an alarming rate now...

I think I have a long way to go before I reach the standards of my favourite maker of crocheted accessories, Anne Claire Petit...but I'm working on it...

Stars, a timeless decor motif for kids' rooms.

The star motif is quite an important symbol in my life. It forms the basis of my business logo and ties in beautifully with kid's room design...which is what I do for a living!
So, naturally, I love to see it used as a decorative feature in a kid's room...like these...
