Finally mini couch covers that you and your child will love

I’m so impressed with this spill-proof mini couch cover by Aussies Alicia, Hayley and Hayley from Marmalade Lion. We had two of those fold-out foam couches in the ugliest fabric possible, and if you have one yourself, you’ll know that the little ones adore them. They have been so practical; and now they can be cute too.

Wanda shelving for kids by Cantilever

A few years ago I made a study space for my daughter using a pegboard from Bunnings with painted IKEA spice racks that has been my most popular post on Bondville - ever. If you love that look but would like something much more sophisticated and design-led, check out the Wanda shelving system by Cantilever in Melbourne.

Half price kids' bedding from Home-Work with code

Now is the chance to grab a huge bargain on this beautiful screen-printed 100% cotton children's bed linen from Melbourne designers Home-Work before they are discontinued. I love all their designs and to be able to get your hands on this quality work for half price is amazing.

Handmade furniture for kids from Little Red Industries

While putting together my daughter's study space (remember this post?), I came across this amazing handmade furniture by Sydney-based Natasha Dickins of Little Red Industries. This gal can wield a power tool! Natasha creates original designs as well as revamping preloved furniture to create beautiful  pieces like this special table which would make a great study desk:

Stylish Kids: Miinot

I love discovering a good kids fashion label. It's nice to receive email introductions and press releases, but it's even nicer to discover a label that a little one is wearing while out and about, or from a good friend, and especially via Twitter. I'm always curious to find out more about my new followers, and when I click through to their website and feel the connection, it's like striking gold.

That's how I felt tonight when I came upon Gary and Emma from Miinot, and their cool line of t-shirts for kids. They aim to create "considered" clothing for little ones, and I'm all for it when there these fun unisex designs up for grabs.

The Miinot t-shirts are designed and made in Melbourne (yay!), printed by hand and embellished with embroidery details - no mass production here. I'm crazy for the Leetle Bit Crazee tee and those disco dogs.

You can find Miinot in the online store as well as stockists in Victoria.
