I stumbled across Oakey Dokey the other day and just knew I had to share it with you! Beautiful, handmade, bespoke oak furniture for children, that they will love just as much as you do.
“Great emphasis is placed on safety with rounded edges, easy slide drawers to protect little fingers and a child safe natural oil finish which enhances the wood’s inherent beauty.”
The designs are g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s. too!
I just adore real wood furniture like this and I love the idea that everything Oakey Dokey sell is handmade to order, in a small workshop, right here in the UK. Like Santa’s workshop! :)

Rubik’s cube, 3D glasses, Gummi Bears and Spirograph… Jellio takes all these pieces of nostalgia and more, combines them with interior design know-how and comes up with quirky lights and furniture. As a child of the 80s I’m in love with everything they create, but the bright colours and playful element to their creations makes them just perfect for a child’s room too.

I love the lights Jellio makes. From a ball of Gummi Bears to a ball of popcorn, ice cream cones and balloon animals each creations looks so much fun and I’m sure a child would like them just as much as me!
Fabulous furniture
And the furniture is very cool too. The Spirograph table actually works! Amazing!
Some of these items are pricey but I imagine you could get a lot of use out of them, as when the kids have moved out you can sneak it into the main house and enjoy it yourself which, let’s face it, would be why you really bought it in the first place ;)

I’m a big fan of cool and quirky design for kids. Even if it’s a tad on the expensive side (in this case $1500!) I still want to show it you because innovative design is still nice to simply admire :) And the product that I found myself admiring recently was The Training Dresser designed by Seattle-based Peter Bristol. The chest of drawers is given a new, and way more exciting, lease of life in this educational and totally cute to look at piece of furniture. It may even kid your child into thinking that putting away clothes is fun. And I think all parents could benefit from that ;)
And as Peter states “like Dr. Seuss and Pixar, the Training Dresser is for more than one audience”. Because if you’re a grown-up that likes striking design and loves separating your tees from your trousers or your skirts from your frilly knickers (love that they’re frilly!) then this one could be for you too!
