Kids bedrooms from Real Living

Great decorating ideas for kid's room from the August 2009 edition of Real Living. This magazine just keeps getting better and better!

Chinese lanterns in delicate pastel shades from Susanne Rutzou's home.

Bold wallpaper and a Marc Pascal pendant light decorate Tess's bedroom.

Vibrant bedlinen and wallstickers add a splash of colour to the plywood walls in this little girl's room.

And more plywood in Luke's bedroom.

Appartements de filles a Paris

More French interior design loveliness from the Paumes book Appartements de filles a Paris. This book is jam-packed with creative homes and work spaces of young Parisian designers and artists - l'amour!

Auspicious red

Beautiful Japanese Chiyogami papers from Sydney's Kinokuniya bookshop - a place I could happily spend a day browsing!

Sydney

A few days in Sydney - enjoying the lovely warm (winter) weather.

Patterns from the sea

Fabulous sea creatures from 1930's and 40's printed dress fabrics decorate these notebooks from the V&A Museum shop.

Tidy your room!

Inspiring images of kid's bedrooms from the Houzz blog (a wonderful smorgasbord of decorating ideas).

Blue and green should never be seen?

If these photos are anything to go by, I disagree! I love the shades of petrol blue, turquoise and emerald green in this children's fashion spread, beautifully photographed by Beatrice Heydiri.

Jungle parrots

I love these painterly green plates and trays designed by Vera Neumann in the 1960's and freshly re-released into the wild by Anthropologie.

Hand-printed greetings

They're creepy and they're kooky..... but these are the friendliest critters I have ever seen. These gorgeous cards are hand-printed by UK designer Lisa Jones, and are available in Australia from the Lark website. I love that caterpillar!
