Cut out mirrored butterfly wall stickers

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Dainty butterfly wall stickers

Dainty butterfly wall stickers

These have got to be some of the daintiest wall stickers we’ve found. The picture doesn’t really do  them justice, but it’s a very affordable set of five adhesive butterfly wall stickers from Laura Ashley.

The butterflies have a nice cut-out effect, which enhances their wings, and they’ve been given a mirror finish, which helps them shine in the light when they’re on the wall.

Ready to use and easy to adhere, this simple set could transform a wall of your home in minutes.

Best of all, they’re remarkably only £5 from Laura Ashley, so you could afford to buy more than one set.

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

M-S-bird-hook    M-S-butterfly-hook

Why choose a boring hook, when you could have one of these great hooks from M&S?

Available in the on trend bird design, or a pretty butterfly, the hooks are made of mirrored glass, with each having a bit of subtle decoration on them.

They’d look lovely used in the kitchen, as a posh spot to hang a teatowel, or in bedrooms to hang clothes or jewellery from. Children would no doubt love them too.

The bird and butterfly hooks are very reasonably priced, at only £9.50 each from M&S.

Fun folk

Fun folk

Folk is being tipped as a hot favourite for 2010 and we think these plates give the folk look a cool new spin.

The pretty, coloured matryoshkas should brighten up light snacks and as they’re made from melamine, they’re perfect for children or for dining al fresco.

The tray costs £18.50 and a set of four plates costs £26.50, all from Pedlars.

Shabby chic toy box

Shabby chic toy box

Begone, plastic boxes!

Make way for this rather fabby caravan toybox made from raffia and available in turquoise and stitched with pretty fabrics.

It’s far too pretty to be confined to the children’s room and we think it would make a great talking point in the lounge.

 Prices start at £40 and there are other styles available.

Find it at Pinks and Green.

Every home needs a basket

Every home needs a basket

We can’t think of a single home that couldn’t benefit from a basket or two (or seven).

Toys, blankets, spare toiletries – baskets store anything and everything.

Park it in the bedroom, bathroom, toy room or lounge and you have something signficantly more stylish than the ubiquitous plastic box. What’s not to love about them?

Zara Home sells these vegetable fibre west baskets for £19.90 each.

Make your own wall art

Monday, August 17th, 2009

 
Vintage design cake paper

Vintage design cake paper

 
If you fancy some new decorative art on your wall, don’t want to spend a fortune and don’t mind being a bit creative, then there are some great ways of creating inexpensive wall art yourself.

One tried and tested method, and something that doesn’t require a lot of artistic skill, is to purchase some good quality decorative wrapping paper and either use it simply as a poster on a wall, or for a more stylish look, pop it in an inexpensive frame.

If you like all things vintage, and are rather partial to cake, then this vintage cake paper by Cavallini would make a great piece of wall art.

The high quality paper features a range of sumptuous looking cakes, from archive designs, and measures 50cm by 70cm.

If you want something for a nursery or a child’s room, then they also do a lovely retro ABC paper, with colourful letters and representative images next to some of them. It measures the same size as the cake paper.

Why not make this into art for a nursery? Why not make this into art for a nursery?

Both the vintage cake paper and retro ABC paper can be purchased from Berry Red for £2.95 each.
