Throwbeds from Hedgehouse
At the start of the summer a friend of mine in the US wrote to tell me about the beautiful throwbeds from a brand called Hedgehouse. I had never heard of this brand before, but one glance at the website and I was obsessed! The towels, the pillows... and most of all, the throwbeds! How perfect ...

Tips for decorating a teen girl's bedroom from Bodie and Fou
My friend Karine from Bodie and Fou got in touch last week to share her recent before-and-after renovation project of her daughter, Mila's bedroom. Mila is the same age as my eldest (and she's also really into surfing!) so it's always interesting for me to see the girl version of twelve years old. (I often marvel ...

Our Home Renovation, part one
When I asked recently for blog post suggestions, I was so flattered to receive questions about our home renovation. It's centre of my mind at the moment, so it's quite an easy topic for me to write about. And while I find it completely overwhelming -- all the details and decisions to make -- I ...

British-made mattresses from Eve Mattress
My husband and I moved from America to London five years ago with our newborn baby girl, Charlotte. We optimistically moved into an unfurnished flat and then began the daunting task of furnishing the place from scratch! I was unfamiliar with the brands and shops in this new country, and really had no clue where ...

Christmas in Australia...
The other day I was in the grocery store and I saw a big banner with an image of sliced, juicy mangos. In red Christmassy writing the banner said 'The Taste of Christmas'. I had to stop myself from giggling. Having spent all of my life in the northern hemisphere, the taste of Christmas is ...

Travel memories captured with Little Square Gallery
As much as I promised myself I would take more photos with my 'proper' camera this year, the reality is that an iPhone is just too easy! I've tried to use my camera to capture the beautiful scenery and sights along our journey, but my iPhone is what I end up using for quick snaps ...

Petit Pehr: Storage baskets that make rooms look neat
With six people in a house, I am constantly tidying up. There's no end to it! Once I have one room in order, I turn around to see the next in a state of explosion. Totally normal of course, and just the way it should be -- imagine a house with little children living in it ...

Studio in our garden -- some inspiration and ideas
We're building a little studio in our back yard -- a space for a home office, and a place for guests to stay when they come to visit! It's going to be so nice to have that bit of extra space (and to finally have a workspace and desk instead of using our dining table!). I ...

Beautiful, handcrafted furniture from Kalon Studios
My friend, Michaele, and her husband Johann, started Kalon Studios back in 2007 shortly after the birth of their first daughter. They struggled to find a crib that met their needs in terms of design and sustainability, so they decided to create their own. Within a year of creating that first crib, Kalon was winning ...

I love this Maria — you are so creative!! Thinking outside the box — I love it. And loving the results as well. xxx
What a lovely idea!
It makes it feel like you’re inside one of those little tents made of quilts, draped over the dining room chairs, that we used to make as kids.
Love this!
Babies spend so much of their time lying on their backs staring up at the ceiling… so how nice for them to have something nice to look at!! xxx
For a little baby lying all the time it’s great idea!
Love this!! Xo
