Decorate, play and learn… Designed and made in Fance by Mimi’lou, this large world map wall sticker comes with removable smaller stickers featuring the names of capital cities, flags, animals and symbols from each country – the kids can add them to the map as they learn and explore the world! Available now at Little Living.

We were so excited to discover this fun and stylish French range of wall stickers earlier this year; and we have been counting down the days to its arrival! So without further ado (and before I stick them all over my own children’s rooms)… ladies and gentlemen – direct from Paris – our new “bonne nuit” glow-in-the-dark wall stickers!

The details: The 1 metre long wall sticker adheres easily to any smooth surface. Application is straightforward and the sticker is easily removed if necessary. Choose a spot near a window or light so it can recharge during the day, to keep your little one company in the night.  Stocks are limited, for more details click here.

Shared bedrooms are fun and there are so many ways to make them work for 2 or more children. We’ve compiled a selection of gorgeous shared spaces on our Pinterest page – check them out for some fresh ideas and inspiration. Our tip – if your kids are old enough get them involved in decorating, zoning and organising their space. You might be pleasantly surprised at the ideas they come up with! We’d love to see your shared spaces – email us your pics.

Baby A’s nursery is a mixture of old and new, revamped and up cycled as well as new pieces found just for her. As we didn’t know if she was a girl or boy we started with black, white and grey as the base and the dusty pink came after she was born. The cot and change table are hand me downs from her brothers, the cupboard was found in a once-in-a-lifetime chuck-out day in Sydney several years ago, and painted white. We also added shelves and hanging racks inside to suit baby sized clothes and paraphernalia. The cute and kid-friendly Babushka toy box is Mor Stor from Little Living.

About the room…

Baby A isn’t quite up to playing dolls yet so we use a little dolls bed to house some of her books for now.

We store her beads and clips in a small glass vase, which makes it quick and easy to see what’s what.

I framed a card from a special friend received when baby A was born. It says “Lovely little mini person”. And that she is.

I put a small clear 3M hook under the decal on the wall and change the clothes when I want to add some more colour in the room. Little Living has divine Love Mae fabric tree stickers similar to this, if you like this idea.

The lace is a close up of a Christening gown which was gifted to baby A from her great Grandmother. It is hand made and has been worn by 5 generations of babies including baby A!

We’ll pop up a “get the look” in the shop so you can see some of the smaller things we love and where they are from.

There’s something lovely and comforting about having real, paper books in your home. They add warmth and texture and are so nice to hold and look at. These are some of my personal favourite child and family-focussed decorating books; I’ve sourced them for the shop so you can enjoy them too. You’ll find lots of beautiful images, ideas, how to’s and DIY’s.

Decorating doesn’t have to be daunting. Find a style which suits you and your lifestyle and work with what you have, make things, source key items you absolutely love, throw out what you don’t need or love and just enjoy your home. Have a lovely weekend x
