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 ...

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 ...

Room decór & accessories from Little Cloud
The wall behind the girls' bed was feeling a bit bare, and I was trying to think of what to hang there when I discovered these sweet name wire signs from Little Cloud. I ordered one for each of the girls and I think they look so sweet hanging on that wall. (It also, conveniently, ...

Tante Ted -- just for boys!
Tante Ted ('Aunty Ted') is a Dutch brand focussing exclusively on boys bedding and accessories. I've known Ted for a few years now and I've seen his brand develop, and it's so cool that his collection is now professionally produced by bedding company Damai! Well deserved, because Ted just knows what boys like. The bedding for ...

STEK -- cool pieces, bold lines
For the past few months we've had a little STEK rocking chair living in our living room and we're all really, really pleased with it. I'm loving the bold, modern lines and the great colour (I chose the olive green one). It's an unmistakable piece in the room, it has a very strong shape, which ...

My name is...
When we moved back to the US, one of the most important things for our 3½-year-old was her new room -- what would it look like?  In order to keep some consistency (the poor thing had to deal with an international move AND a new baby sister at the same time), I made sure to ...

“For me and for many, 2020 has been a year of ‘Slow and Simple’. Our lifestyles and livelihoods were forced to slow down, to adapt or at the very least relocate to our living rooms... And so, as the year draws to a close, I’m looking forward to celebrating a Christmas and New Year that reflects the slower and simpler direction my life has taken this year.” Our contributor Sydney shared the ways (and why) she’s slowing down this Christmas, this week on the blog. (She also shares this simple craft too). Discover through the link in our bio. @sydney.piercey #babyccinocrafts
