Delightful morsels from the world of Etsy, these Summer Bear prints offer nursery art you won’t find in a thousand other homes.
I can see Little Birds in Trees paired up beautifully with Birds and Oranges. Who can resist sweet little baby chicks?
Give each one a name and build gentle stories around them.
Printed from a handcrafted original artwork these are ripe to be
framed, adding instant charm and interest to your little one’s room.
One signed and numbered 5 x 7 print is US$15 with shipping to Australia just US$2. Through
Summer Bear's Etsy store.
We mentioned these designs on Babyology back in May this year and have recently been notified that they are now available in Australia.
These butterfly, fish and saucer wall applications are a great way to brighten up a nursery without resorting to Dora the Explorer or Barbie wallpaper.
A nice idea would be to involve your child in the process by getting them to help paint the applications (which are primed for painting) before you stick them to the wall. And for those of us in rented homes, you could always stick them to cots, cupboards or toy-chests.
The butterflies are vailable from Wallspace for $75.95 and you can have a look at the whole range while you are there.
Anna & Sally have been busy designing a new collection. If you are already familiar with their gorgeous line of co-ordinating clothing, accessories and linen (we’ve feature them on Babyology a few times already), you’ll be happy to hear that they have created a new range called Cafe Collection which will become available from November this year.
Stripes and spots never go out of style and the range includes bedlinen (practical two sided design with spots on one side and stipes on the other), baby blankets, bibs, corduroy trousers, dresses, and their gorgeous ruffle pants.
All in colourways of blue, pink and caramel, it is another gorgeous collection to add to their already lovely range.
At times we could all do with a reminder of the simple mantras for leading
a happy life – "Play", "Laugh", "Dream", "Games". Elegantly finished in beautiful smooth Maple wood,
this Crossword Wall Art piece would be at home in almost any room in the house. It’s like Scrabble for the walls.
Each satin-finished tile features a letter and picture of an object beginning with that letter,
making it an easy teaching tool to use with your tots. Sawtooth brackets on the back make for secure,
no-fuss hanging and simply wipe clean to keep it free from dust.
Each tile is 16cmx16cm and the installation can be custom-made through Posh Tots for US$500.
They will ship internationally through a freight forwarding company. Contact Posh Tots for further details.
When it comes to children’s decor, cartoon characters are a quick fix, but if you would like something with a stronger aesthetic and lasting appeal, take a look at Kinder Gallery.
With a range of originals, prints and decals from leading Australian, European and US artists, it will appeal to the discerning parent and child alike. Offering a range of contemporary art works in various mediums, from photographic collages, oil paintings, to canvas, decals and felt designs they would also be a perfect special gift for the child who already has everything and the style conscious parent. A purchase that will be treasured now and in years to come.
These can be bought direct from the Kinder Gallery website or through stockists in Sydney, and offer a gift certificate option. Prices from $48.
