Real Kids Room: Spoonful of Colour playroom and shared girls bedroom.. and giveaway!

I adore the white-with-pops-of-colour look that Melbourne graphic designer, paper product designer, all-round crafty gal and blogger Pascale Clearihan of Spoonful of Colour has pulled together for her girls' playroom and shared bedroom.

Pascale has included many of her own handmade decorations and artwork in her childrens' rooms. The stand-out A-Z Animal Print below is one of Pascale's own (you can find it in the Spoonful of Colour online store). I'm thrilled that Pascale is giving away one A3 print to a lucky Bondville reader! (giveaway now closed). See the end of this post for details. Enjoy this tour!

Room: Girls' bedroom and playroom
Age: 3 years and 4 months
Designed by: Pascale Clearihan (Spoonful of Colour)
Location: Melbourne, VIC, Australia



Playroom
Can you imagine how excited you would be to have this playroom? Pascale's daughter's computer is better than mine! The red elements are invigorating and the handmade wire welcome sign is whimsical and so on-trend. You really can't go wrong with a base of neutrals and splashes of colour. Note the neon orange papier mache animals; clever Pascale painted these animals to add a fun (and current) pop. You could do the same with plastic toys - put large painted plastic toys on display and fill a jar with smaller ones - or make a fun mobile.
