Colourful wood characters by Herman Marie

I have fallen head over heels in love with everything in Kim Laurenti’s Etsy shop Herman Marie!

Her products are certainly a simple concept: wooden shapes, painted in bright colours.

But the illustration style is awesome!

These would liven up any child’s bedroom for sure…

And Kim has a second shop too where she keeps her slightly creepier characters employing a more muted colour palette. I don’t think the stuff in I Love Grey Skies would be as suitable for children, but you adults might like it :)

Nursery inspiration : dots & spots

I’m writing this after I spent the entire day stripping my bedroom of wallpaper. It was definitely one of the more boring days of my life! And in the days ahead of me I have to put up lining paper, then wallpaper, and only then do I get to paint (because I have rubbish walls and need to mask them with anaglypta)!

So anyway, I’m hating wallpaper a little right now, and any ideas that are simple and solely paint-focused are awesome in my eyes!

Like the following round-up of dots and spots for a child’s nursery, bedroom or play room.

Fun, playful and way easier than wallpapering I can assure you!

Nursery inspiration : dots and spots

1. How about a random pattern in random colours? From The Boo and the Boy.

2. Feeling fancy? Go metallic like these spots seen on Chic Cheap Nursery.

3. For a more unique take on polka dots I love just a few being differently coloured, like these on Cutting Edge Stencils.

4. Popsugar shows you how to do uniform, colourful spots superbly well.

5. These black smaller dots via Maureen Stevens are contemporary and cool.

The stencil solution

And if you want to try something like this yourself but aren’t sure where to start, a polka dot stencil such as this from Henry Donovan Motif will make the job even easier for you!

Animal masks & bundt cake

Children’s parties don’t need to be months of prep and planning (hooray!)… they can be as simple as some colourful napkins, animal masks to play with and a couple of bright banners strung on the wall. Add a bundt cake doused in chocolate and sprinkles and you have an easy-to-put-together-but-still-stupidly-gorgeous party that the kids will love!


Awesome images: bliss!

I love the plastic animals dotted around too. No need to buy party supplies, just raid the toy box!
