Toile de Jouy print for kids and babies

As we mentioned some time ago at the post about Liberty print we love traditional prints that add a retro touch to trendy accessories.

So today it’s time for Toile de Jouy which used with moderation can add a trendy twist to any outfit (although it looks very classic).

In fact, this print is now a very cool trend thanks to brands such as Carven and famous egobloggers.

So now, mainstream brands like Primark and Suiteblanco are offering some Toile de Jouy clothes at affordable prices.

Some curious facts:

- It’s name means “Cloth from Jouy-en-Josas”, a small village a few km from Versailles.

- It was created in 1760 by Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, that invented a new way of clothing printing.

- The usual themes were birds, flowers and sheperd scenes.

- Marie Antoinette loved it (check Sofia Coppola’s film).

So what’s in there for our minimoi?

At mes habits cheris we find these bag and shoes from Bakker in toile de jouy and neon: an explosive combination! The kimono is from Baby Milano.

Regarding deco check out these nice pillows from la cerise sur le gâteau:

At Pasito a Pasito one can find from baby clothing to seat covers from Toile de Jouy. In order to avoid a too classic look they should be combined with trendy accessories.

And last, some examples of how to incorporate Toile de Jouy in the kid’s room decoration.

You can even use Toile de Jouy wallpapers!

I would only dare with curtains…

And what about you do you love Toile de Jouy print or hate it?

Neon and pastel clothing for kids

Now with springtime why not daring to wear more colorful clothes? Have you ever thought of wearing neon clothing? Yes! I’m not crazy: this year it’s a must, but you have to combine it gracefully with pastel.

Risky it may seem, when you combine it with pastel it can look really nice.

1. Vestido tela toalla Zara /2. Sandalias rosa fluor Zara/ 3. Bolso Zorrro (smallable)/ 4. Pantalón pitillo Gap kids/ 5. Bikini Douuod (smallable)

Boys can also look very cute with these bright colors:

1. Chaqueta J.Crew/ 2. Zapatillas adidas/ 3. Pantalón corto Gap Kids/ 4. Bañador H&M.

And what about little babies? Noe and zoe have a bright collection for they as well.

If you’re more into decoration, check out Bel and soph or lokolo lights:

At ferm living one can find blankets and cushions with a neon touch.

And finally a bright idea to finetune your IKEA couch: colorful prettypegs. Modular shelves from nordickthink and neon pink butterfly wallpaper from fermliving.

DIY for kids

DIY manualidades letras niños

The other day I was talking with Laura from blog Lauralicious and told me she was looking for some DIY to do with her son Eric.

So today we present you some DIY ideas so that you can decorate your home with letters like we suggested here while having some fun with your kids.

Cardboard letters

At Cluck Cluck Sew they give us a great idea for very young minimoi (suitable for 3 year-old kids). You only need to cut a letter (you can use a shoe cardboard box) and paste all that you can find.

Letters with washi tape

You can also use washi tape to cover the letters (we presented washi tapes here).

DIY via Little Hannah

Volume letters

You can also buy wooden letters and cover them with whatever you want. Another idea are fabric tapes (even more resistant than washi tapes and on sale at paramamis).

Check out the tutorial from Taller de las cosas bonitas:

Adhessive letters

Don’t miss out the tutorial from My sister’s suitcase if you want to create stickers:

With the same technique you can also create a cool picture (more details here).

Anyway for a proffessional result, you can join the workshops organized by 100% made with love or order directly one of their cute customized letters.

Have a nice weekend

DIY pompoms for decoration and parties

As promised in last week’s post (here) today we present you a selection of tutorials on how to do pompons.

It would have been so useful to me several months ago… OMG! I hate to say I paid more than 10 euros for the pompons of my minimoi’s 2nd birthday party. Since I paid so much I kept them after the party and put them at her bedroom (to redeem the cost).

Let’s start with paper pompons: perfects for parties!

More info at casahaus

One can also prepare multi-color pompons:

Tutorial via Todobonito

If you want to do small woollen pompons to add a pompon touch to cushions and other accessories, it’s pretty easy:

Tutorials via Kraftcroch & Vivid Please

And finally a great idea to recycle old t-shirts: fabric pompons!

Do you dare with pompons?

Night lamps and lights for baby bedrooms

I’m mentalizing for the arrival of my minimoi and all the long nights that I’ll spend breast-feeding him…

So, in order to make long hours more relaxing I’ve started my hunt for the perfect night lamp.

I love animal world, so all te options related to bunnies (egmont ) or bears (land of nod) look nice to me.

The XXL miffi bunny lamp, also caught my eye (although the price kept me away). I’d rather buy the affordable Bel and soph bunny (so affordable that’s out of stock). For those looking for a vintage touch: lapin and me is your option.

More animals: elephant (land of nod), dogs (modernursery and  Bel and soph) or polar bear (monjolishop).

And for a neon touch, what about these IKEA led lamps? I also love the rocket lamp and the bunnies from OXO.

Which night lamps do you have?

Teepee huts for little indians

It’s not the first time we talk about little indian huts or teepees (do you remember here?). So well now that we’re entering spring time we come back again with more deco ideas with teepees (or tipis).

Let’s start with tipis with patterns. I love the blue one although I’m not 100% sure if it’s a tipi or a kind of canopy for a bed.

Photos by Land of Nod, The Marion House Book

I also like the idea of using a tipi as a headboard.

Photos by Not on the high street, The Crafty Crow, Babyology

And for the original tipi lovers, what about these little indian huts?

If you fear to get that patterns might be to heavy white tipis are a sure bet.

Photos via chic & cheap nursery

You can always chear them up with some buttons or garlands.

And now that we’re entering picnic time again, what about putting a tipi in your garden or a park?

And finally if your love for tipis is already big don’t hesitate to create pillows, blankets or whatever you imagine with Rachel Ann’s pattern!

Maps for kids

My new obsession are map prints…It all started when I bought a map fabric at Black Oveja’s shop.

I covered a boring chair with it and the result was amazing! If you like the fabric you can also find it at Ribes&Casals (Barcelona).

But maps also look good in wallpapers for kid’s rooms, like this one from bloomingpapers or this removable wallpaper from thewallstickercompany.

I really like the room on the left, with all these maps sticked all together and these globe lamps.

I also like this customizable sticker from stencilbarcelona with your kid’s names on it.

If you just like to have a little “map touch” in your room you can choose these nice lamps at Etsy (NaturallyHeartfelt and MakeHayDesign).

Want to try a DIY? Check this beautiful drawer covered with paper maps.
