Random baby nurseries...

Don't go looking for a theme running through these cute nurseries...there isn't one!
Apart from the fact they caught my eye in some random, appealing way...so please, enjoy...

Three easy ways to add dots and spots to a kid's room.

Whenever I see dotty decorations in a kid's room it makes me think of confetti at a summer wedding; brightly coloured discs of celebration swirling around the happy couple...putting everyone in a good mood...so what better way to cheer up a kid's room.

If you're competent at hanging wallpaper, or know someone who is, create a spotty wall behind the bed or in an alcove. Try Harlequin's neutral design for a casual finish in a nursery or go bold with gold glitter-effect spots from Spoonflower...my favourite!

Or try a more 'random' finish using a stencil...the Stencil Library has loads of dotty designs...but you could always make your own...




And finally...wall stickers!
Probably the easiest option of them all...and the least messy!!!
Again, you can either buy them ready to stick to the wall...or try making them yourself...

Colouring in is cool for kids...and grown-ups apparently!

Well according to the news reports this week it is...
All us stressed-out adults could benefit from a bit of 'me-time' accompanied by a colouring book and some crayons to ease our frazzled minds...

And, as sales of the adult colouring book, The Secret Garden, hit over a million sales this week who am I to disagree...!

Some of the covers alone are a work of art...





Pop along to Amazon to accommodate a huge range of coloring styles...I'm loving this 'Adorable Animals' book...and am thinking I could adapt some of the illustrations to make interior accessories when I've finished colouring them in...!

That's entertainment with the kids sorted for the Easter weekend then...
