As we’ve come to expect from Stokke, Bounce n Sleep looks great and is totally functional. Form and function = big thumbs up.
I’m a huge fan of Stokke products – as is Lola who has an Xplory, Tripp Trapp and Sleepi – so we can vouch for their quality. If only she was a little younger.
I won’t fill you in with all the details here, just hop on over to Bambino Goodies and you can read Nat’s post.

Apologies for going AWOL here people. I have had a busy few weeks – and a holiday to Barbados! We’ve put the house on the market, and sold it once, only to have the buyer pull out! So my free time has been filled with sprucing the rooms up we have not yet decorated. Sigh. Anyway, I’m back now and am going to start my return with a Best of Bambino round up for last month.
First up is a great post from Lucy about gifts for two year olds. Her little man got some great gifts including a Chalk Table and biplane shelves.
Lucy has also created a post to inspire you if insect themed decor is your thing. The lampshade is lovely!
The what do superheros/fairies/cowboys dream of pillows are just too chic. Love them.
The laser-cut perspex birds are just divine (as any Rob Ryan fan would agree!) but not that cheap. A mobile of three birds will set you back £130. Nice though.
Do you remember the Doodle Duvet we featured way back when? Well there’s now a table cloth to add to the mix. Good idea or bad idea? You decide!
Nice posts eh! I’m looking forward to posting about May – they’ve certainly found some more cool stuff over the last month.

I’m on the move, well will be shortly. The five year house has become the ten month house and we’re moving again! Crazy I know. Long story, I wont bore you, but it’s all good.
Anyway, whilst chatting to Kat and Bec on twitter about the sadness of leaving my wallpaper behind, my attention was drawn to the Fayre’s Fair Wallpaper from Mini Moderns which has been newly recoloured and out today!! Great colours, great print, and at £45 a roll you really can not complain. Click click …

This sunshine is clearly having an effect on me – and long may it last – as I keep ge3tting drawn to all things outdoors! These hurricane oil lamps which you can buy from Dutch by Design are my latest find and addition to the I want list. Perfect for outdoor entertaining, but would also look splendid in the home – think instant illumination to a hallway table. It’s made of ‘sturdy metal’, and available in Lime Green, Pastel Blue, Green, Silver, Pastel Pink or Orange. They’re currently on sale, the small ones are £9.95 and the large ones £12.50. I suspect these will sell out quickly, so click click.

With this glorious weather I’m sure we’ve all been spending a little bit of time over the long weekend having fun times in the sunshine. If you’ve been having bbqs or picnics, why not do it with a bit of style by adding this collection of melamine bowls from Pedlars spring collection to your outdoor eating collection. There are seven fabulous designs to choose from. They cost £9.75 each and am sure a great little investment.

Designed by Russell Cameron for Innermost the Metallic Drum Shade is available in Large or Small and a choice of hot metallic colours. The shade comes flat packed and assembles in seconds. For use with a standard pendant fitting or floor lamp the shade has visual presence and a hint of drama about it. I adore these, and at just £45 each from Scarlet & Jones, they’re a steal!

Although this wrapping paper is rather kitsch it does definitely appeal! And I’m not the only one to think so it seems, as it has apparently featured in The Sunday Times Style magazine! Your get two heets of blue, two sheets of pink for £8.50 from Crumpet & Skirt. If you’re a discerning pin-up devotee you’ll love their other products too.

With timeless appeal and bundles of character, the low, sculptural design and slender legs of the ‘Loopy’ table make it a nice addition to the want list. It’s clearly inspired by the iconic and quirky designs of the 1960′s, so bang on trend. It’s available in natural oak veneer (£406.80) and matt white (£369) from Gilmore Space.

Sometimes in the day job I come across something so inspiring I get way too excited and spend ages trying to figure out how I can incorporate it in to one of my projects. This is one of those moments! I spotted this over at Elding Oscarson – an architect led company.
What they’ve created is a magazine wall. It’s an ingenious way of dividing a space and looks bloody brilliant. Many people love their magazines and hate to chuck them away – this is my kind of recycling. I’m not 100% sure how it’s been constructed, but I am sure that you could easily do this on a smaller scale if you created a frame of high pressure laminate and then ‘stuffed’ the interior with bundles of magazines. I’m going to talk to a couple of my manufacturers about how you could create something for the home in this fashion. Let me know if you’re interested!

They say it’s the simple things in life that give you pleasure so after scowling at the cord in my bathroom for more time than I care to remember, it’s the simple blue nylon cord and beech ball bathroom pull switch from All Lovely Stuff that will be brightening my bathroom. The On,Off, Pull Switch is £5.95.
