I absolutely adore handmade items like this lovely wooden keyring set, hippo and giraffe by Ecobabe, which both your bub and the environment will thank you for! Visit ecobabe.com.au for more info. Words by Danielle Fernando
I love puppies – when I see one I melt. And I would give up bacon for those tiny teacup pigs. But babies are best of all. Gorgeous, squishy, soft and dribbly little balls of butter that I want to cover in sugar and eat. Rainee from Cloud Nine Photography specialises in capturing portraits of [...]
I moved cities recently and, as a result, I’ve subconsciously honed my interior decorating sensibilities. Brightening up my bare walls has become an obsession, and some are just too good not to share! I found these at minimoderns.com, sanderson-uk.com, and bartsch-paris.com/a-propos.

Once upon a time, there was a gorgeous little “bricks and mortar” store located in Bendigo, Victoria. Actually, it’s still there, but now you can call it a “clicks and mortar” store. Yes, Milt and Joe has a real knack for discovering lovely things and has decided it is only fair to share their loot [...]
Strange though it may seem, while travelling around Europe I decided that I would start collecting money boxes. I loved the novelty of filling them up. Even as an adult it makes saving fun, so I can only imagine what it is like for a child. When I saw these Big Fat Pig and Little [...]
What a find! These custom-made, handcrafted Warm Sugar dolls are sure to be cherished by girls of all ages, and I’m not counting myself out! You can custom design your doll to look like your little one, choosing everything from her hair colour to her favourite outfit – even fitting her with lace-up shoes and [...]
The Spanish are famous for many things: food, flamenco and cushions! I might have made that last part up but once you see what the people at Bibu have to offer, you will all no doubt agree with me. The range offers some serious quirk and bold colours that are ready to be cuddled, rested [...]
As I continue my search for the “look” I am going to bring to my first bub’s nursery, I am definitely straying away from soft, pastel “baby” shades and finding myself inspired by bright hues. This poppin’ collection by Spanish label Sal De Coco is definitely going in the inspiration file! I love the simply [...]
Remember all those times you told your toddler not to scribble on the wall? Yeah, well, that’s totally out of fashion. Now you can tell them to get out their colouring crayons and go to town! OK, so I’m not sure that, if I had this gorgeous contemporary living area in my house, I would [...]
There has been some pretty rad wall art available for kids lately, but these chalkboard stickers are my favourite so far. Simply slap them on your wall and let your inner artist emerge. When you make a mistake, just wipe it away! Or, if you don’t like where you put the sticker, just peel it [...]
I’m a definite fan of removable wall stickers! The huge black shadow of a willowy tree hangs over my dining table, and some lovely vintage-look removable wallpaper defines my poky little kitchen. It is such an easy way to instantly change a space and, as someone who gets bored with their interior fairly often, I [...]

Wouldn’t these plush decorations look beautiful hanging in your baby’s room? One-of-a-kind and hand-stitched by New York designer Tamar Mogendorff, they offer a unique touch to nurseries and children’s rooms. The birdcages and fish bowls are an interesting and creative take on the traditional mobile, but I’m particularly in love with the stork – he [...]
This pastel-coloured, critter-adorned range seems to have been pulled straight from the pages of a Scandinavian fairytale. Based in the UK, Swedish freelance designer Sandra Isaksson makes what she simply calls “beautiful, happy things”, which apparently covers everything from clothing to crockery. Imagine watching your bub entranced by new animal friends hanging over his dreamy [...]
Eating is an enjoyable necessity. So why not do it in style? I love this Eat Like A Bird dinner set by Australian label Love Mae. It is 100 percent melamine, non-toxic and dishwasher safe. There is nothing like a set of clean, shiny new plates to top off a home-cooked meal. Head to lovemae.com.au. [...]
My mum would have saved a bundle if a chair like this had been around 20 years ago. One swivel takes the HiLo chair from an infant-friendly height to one that is perfect for toddlers. The design and range of colours are great for any modern interior. A throne fit for any little king or [...]
These animal boxes from Areaware are a sneaky way to store trinkets. They pivot open at the animal’s eye to reveal hollow storage space inside. Kids love a place to hide their secret treasures, and they would look great on a mantelpiece or shelf. I love the whale – he looks to be giving me [...]
Why not keep your interior a little interesting! These stuffed animal heads are from Northern Europe and just the right amount of strange for any child’s room. I just love the lazy looking giraffe! Check out kidsgallery.fr. Words by Kaila Whitter
