You know Claire and I are weak for a beautiful chair and the latest reupholstered armchairs at Winter’s Moon have me swooning and mentally trying to work out where I could slip one into the house. From the scrumptious floral print chair in one of my favourite colour combo’s grey and yellow, to the tailored appeal of the yellow armchair which has brass buttons top it off, I’m in chair heaven! £460-£490 each

At our wedding (promise I wont keep banging on about it!) we decided to add a sweetie bar for all the big kids. We used Ikea’s Slom jars which were perfect for the job and cheap 89p to £2.59 depending on size. Bargain.
During my search for all things sweet I came across Kate Ushers Oh Sweetie wallpaper (£150 per 10m roll). It’s lovely. Fact. I also adore her turtle wallpaper too.
I’m looking forward to seeing what else this talent has to offer. Definitely one to watch!

Well I am back from a little break from Nest – during which I got hitched and went to Mexico for my honeymoon. Happy days.
I’ve come back to some fabulous gifts for my own Nest including a Trim Phone, some rainbow mugs (one in each colour!), Emma Bridgewater trays and biscuit barrel, vintage styled laundry box, a new Le Cruset pan set, a lovely new duvet and lots of other bits including John Lewis vouchers and cash … which has mostly gone on a new washing machine as ours gave up just before we wed. Grrr.
I’m finally starting to decorate downstairs … step 1 is a wooden floor installation in the hallway and lounge by Forrestal Flooring (who I totally recommend after using them in my old place). Wooden floor has become a necessity what with Lola deciding throwing food on the floor is great entertainment. We’re also starting the front room – the adult room – which my new husband has agreed will be red. I’ve been bombarding him with photos of red rooms and it’s worked. He’s even suggested we go out on Friday to grab a sofa for the said red room! Hoorah.
And I am finally getting round to finishing Lola’s room – which I hope will be cool enough to feature on Bambino Goodies Room Tours! Watch this space!!

I’m a major fan of paper cut artist extraordinaire Rob Ryan – I’ve given several of his divine greeting cards which I hand over grudgingly they’re so lovely! His beautiful work has now made it on to wall stickers with my favourite being the romantic ‘Ladder Kiss’. £36 Bodie and Fou.

This well priced colour wheel rug is an instant colour injection into a child’s bedroom or playroom. The big kid in me imagines jumping along the colours plus of course its an instant lesson in naming them too. Made from hand tufted acrylic for a wool look, it’s designed to be hardwearing. £70 Punkin Patch and it’s also available in custom sizes.

I could feel the shopping palpitations kicking in when I saw that mate and Bambino Goodies writer Kat had tweeted about this too tempting seconds sale being held by Nina at her Etsy store Ninainvorm. The Dutch student makes these visually delightful ceramics that are contemporary with a traditional twist from ceramics that she’s both made and upcycled. Loving the mix of bold circles, bunting, birds, and folky imagery. Swoop in now.

Loving the range of wall stickers at Hu2 Design who I’ve just featured some of their kids collection over on Bambino Goodies. Their removable, often PVC free vinyl wall stickers are edgy, clever designs for most rooms in the house and my favourite has to be their ‘Before Leaving Checklist’ which is perfect for the boyf who often comes sprinting up to the bedroom at least once to get something he’s forgotten before finally leaving. £16.95 for the set.

The Puzzleboard by Dutch design studio Ooms is one of those delights you’ll just love showing off to your friends when entertaining with its chic, minimal, functional design. Use one as a cutting board or to serve from and rather cleverly, it fits any size wine glass in the puzzle hole. Of course you can buy a few an extra one and piece them together. euro 19.95 per Puzzleboard with shipping euro 7.50 per order.

Normally I’m not that keen on glass tables. Reminds me of being in the front room at my nan’s while she caught up on Son’s & Daughters! Very eighties. And yet, I’m feeling the tugs of shopping lust for this glass on chunky solid ash wood design by Sean Dix for Made.com. Bringing designer pieces at high street prices, the wood frame is beautiful and gives it stunning balance and makes it an eye catching design. Designer price is £599, high street £245. If I didn’t think ours would be covered in crayon marks and be at the mercy of kids, I’d certainly be tempted.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for news that Nineteenseventythree finally have their range of Pantone cards and wrapping paper available to buy. No doubt these are going to be snapped up by design fiends. Simple, popping, block colour. Love it. £2 each
