baby style loves...rainbow rattles

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 • , , , , , •

as far as babies go you can never go too wrong with a rattle...these ones are ever so lovely due their pleasing colours and simple wooden forms. they're also rather good for chewing on should the urge take you (or your baby).

baby style file loves...easy to store storage

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 • , , , , , , •

storage that folds away is rather good - that way when you decide to reduce the volume of toys (i'm assured that this does happen eventually) you can easily store away the storage too. these magical 'paper' bags are in fact made from cellulose fibre, making them hard wearing and machine washable. the fact that they come in a choice of neon colours combined with cool white just makes them even better.

baby style file loves...beautiful building materials

Wednesday, May 01, 2013 • , , , , , , , , •

not only do these building blocks look utterly beautiful, they're also a rather pleasing alternative to traditional bricks. ideal for perfecting little ones hand-eye co-ordination and probably quite nice for chewing on too (if you're not quite there yet)...

baby style file loves...an indoor treehouse

Tuesday, April 30, 2013 • , , , , •

a treehouse is the sort of thing that we'd (probably) all love to have if it weren't for the complexities of building one and the need for a huge massive tree. thankfully this beautiful specimen requires no such tree or designing ability - oh and it doubles up as the sort of bed that dreams are made from...

finally the winter gloom has lifted and spring has finally sprung *hurrah!* unfortunately this means that it's now officially spring cleaning season too *sigh*. don't despair, just get the kids involved and call it an afternoon activity (or two, depending on the state of your home)...

baby style file loves...bath time

Tuesday, April 23, 2013 • , , , , •

bath time is a special time - partly because you get a bit of one-on-one baby time without any of the modern day electronic distractions and partly because it's right before bedtime when you'll get a few hours all to yourself without anyone sicking up on you (hopefully). this ever so glamorous baby bath will add a sense of occasion to your night time routine plus it'll save your back from a bit of bending down. (beyond the baby years it can also be used as a stylish bit of bath toy storage)

these rather charming bird drawer handles provide an easy way to add a pleasing twist to an otherwise boring chest of drawers...do feel free to tone down the pastel by combining with dark grey, brown or black paint.
