Childrens Rooms - London Love

Morning! I hope you are all well.  My children are all full of cold again which doesn't help when Lucy is sitting her SATs this week and Jack has his end of year exams.  I spent a lovely day with Kitty yesterday as I had to keep her home with suspected conjunctivitus and after a restless night with a horrid cough, she just needed a day at home with mummy.  I have to admit it was lovely spending the day colouring, making finger puppets from her comic and building models with Lego.  Whilst our Lego towers weren't quite up to the magnificance of Big Ben or the London Eye, they were pretty good!  Anyway even though I wasn't really working yesterday I was thinking about the London skyline as a design for children's rooms and I know there are some fab finds out there.  So we can thank my Lego building for inspiring todays post!

London Scene Cushion Cover from Cath Kidston. Also you could make a matching pair of curtains with the London Scene Cotton Duck.

I absolutely love Michelle Mason's designs and these cushions are perfect for a London theme.

Available from her website and Not On The High Street

And of course Michelle Mason's rugs are so bright and colourful. They are also incredibly thick, I have seen these at Home earlier this year.

Love this personalised London print from Sweet Home London

Now these are seriously cool, London bus lights!

Finish it all off with a lampshade adormed with iconic London architecture.

I know there are even more fabtastic London themed ideas for children's rooms this year, so please feel free to share some more with me here, on Twitter or on our facebook page.

Have a fab day, I'm off to catch up on some work!

Mine could have been better, the washing machine stopped working and the attic door broke, but hey ho it can only get better!  For todays Children's Rooms post I thought I would take my inspiration from the Easter bunny, but don't worry I am not going to suggest you decorate your childs room with chocolate eggs.  I have been tracking down some gorgeous little bunny themed items that would be perfect for children's rooms.

Childrens Rooms - Polka Dots

Hello, I hope you all had a good start to the week. I spent yesterday afternoon working out a new design that had been bugging me but I finally had that lightbulb moment and I was thrilled that it actually worked how I hoped it would!  I had started working on this particular idea a while ago but left it as I couldn't get it to look as it looked in my minds eye.  I know I am not alone in this creative torment but isn't it a fab feeling when you finally get there.  I will share with you very soon exactly what I have been designing, I promise ;)

Anyway back to todays post, the next installment in my new weekly Children's Rooms post.  I love spots, polka dots, dotty spots and I know I am not alone. Polka dots are a great accompaniment or main theme for childrens rooms, whether in a bedroom or playroom or even as curtains in the playhouse.  They mix well with stripes or gingham or even floral prints.  So here is my roundup of some fab polka dot finds that are perfect for children's spaces.
