Nursery Spruce Up

Cot sheet trimmed with Black Skipping Boy fabric from Sprout Design

Box covered in faux fur is a great space to store things out of sight

Wall Decal from Wall Allure

Recently I have had a little time out from Tees 2 Knees and despite not having a huge amount of time to spare I did find some time to get a little creative and spruce the boys rooms up for a very little amount of money and given that I was pretty happy with the final outcome I figured I may as well share them and maybe inspire others to get creative in the process.

For anyone who hasn't heard of Sprout Design then you don't know what you are missing out on. I purchased some the the very adorable skipping boy fabric in black and used it to trim a lovely set of crisp white cotton sheets for Monty's cot.

The walls of Monty's room were spruced up with a delightful decal from Wall Allure which I just love and my beautiful mum helped me recover a very daggy old rocking chair that despite not being very stylish just so happens to be super comfortable and works a treat to get an unsettled child off to sleep in the middle of the night. Practicality over style in this case unfortunately.

An old wooden box belonging to my grandfather was also recovered with some faux fur and it has proven to be a great space to hide all sorts of things away and out of sight and the artwork on the walls were easily created with a little inspiration, cheap canvases and bright paints.

Anyway it is not magazine material but it is a practical space that is bright and fresh which we love.

I recently bought this Michael Miller fabric and thought that it was way to cute to leave sitting on the shelf. So............ I made Archie some cushions to snuggle up to whilst watching the wiggles.

The Sun is Shining

Well the rain has finally cleared which is lovely. My son and I were able to get out the house over the weekend and take our very boisterous chocolate labrador for a much needed walk. After staying in for most of last week and the a good part of the weekend I was fiddling around with some bits and pieces and made myself a couple of brooches to brighten my day. Inspired by the little things around me I rumaged through all my beads and fabrics to create two little pieces. I did realise however that I seriously need to clean up my collection of fabrics and bits and pieces but who knows when I will find the time to do that. Somehow I just know where everything is.
