Pop House

I love how the colour pops against the black & white back drop of this home.

Double Up

Jul 12 2011

We recently returned from a weekend in the Laurentians with my family. Forget the lake, the best part for my 3 1/2 year old daughter was getting to sleep in a bunk bed.

She would go crazy for this round up!

Ikea Done Right

Feb 20 2011

There are some seriously talented stylists at Ikea. Here are some shots from their blog, Livet Hemma. It just goes to show what some personal touch and great photography can do!

These rooms hardly look like they were built with an instruction manual and allen key.

Playroom: Toys

Oct 22 2010

Okay, this is my last posting for the next while on kids-centric stuff. I suppose I’ve gotten a bit carried away – but with small kids at home and a house to fill from top to bottom, I couldn’t help myself. To wrap things up, here’s a mix of toys that have caught my eye recently.

Below: Lil Wooden Modern Kitchen by Momoll. Their high back chair and playtower are pretty damn fabulous as well.

Below: I picked up one of these wooden lambs by Manny & Simon at Auggie (a completely inspiring store for kids and Oliver Yaphe’s latest retail partner!).

Below: What is it about toy globes that I love so much? I don’t even think I had one as a kid, but I love them…I might just have to start collecting a few. I particularly love the ones with details in black, like that found at Commute Home or the Corona black and white version by Nendo. I also spotted this amazing chalkboard globe while flipping through Lonny Magazine. It’s sold through The Well Appointed House. I seriously might have to get this one.

And now for some incredible pieces with incredible price tags to match. Arg. The soapbox car by PLAY, a danish children’s furniture company. I spotted it on Minor Details along with its $2750 price tag. Really? Likewise for the Wedge House by Modern Playhouse. It’s a great little wooden house that could be used for anything really – a theatre, house, private getaway. But at $1250 a pop, my kids will likely be using cardboard.
