Whimsical Monique L'huillier collection for Pottery Barn Kids

Goodness, Pottery Barn Kids sure knows how to create dreamy spaces that children adore. My girls are mad for all the looks created in collaboration with Monique L'huillier - it's a world of whimsy and elegance that stands out from the more graphic looks that we've been seeing in kids' interiors lately. Come along with me to the launch of the Monique L'huillier Collection with Pottery Barn Kids in Sydney recently...

Maryanne Moodie rugs for Arro Home - yeah!

Arro Home has nailed it with these gorgeous rugs designed by Aussie weaving expert Maryanne Moodie, now living in New York City and owning the loom over there too. These pieces are gorgeous - I want both the Adamas and Desert Storm rugs - and look fantastic with Arro home's signature cat and eye cushions and range of bedding.

Australian Kids' Beds and Linen: Kids InStyle Sydney 2015

Hello linen lovers. This is Part II of my favourite finds from Kids InStyle 2015 in Sydney recently - the great selection of beds and bed linen on offer by Australian designers. This is by no means a complete list, but these brands caught my eye as I zoomed around the trade show.

First up, very sweet Scandi-inspired cots, change tables and matching furniture from Incy Interior's Teeny brand. As always, beautifully styled with Australian linen and homewares; this is a great option for those who want a complete matching nursery set when out shopping for all the big ticket items for baby. Check out the blonde timber with crisp white and dove grey trim:

Would you like a peek at my daughter's room? It's very real - look... no ironed bed linen! It's a brand new quilt cover and pillow scored in the sales at Country Road, and new Rosie The Dreamer pillow case from One In A Melon Designs that I bought for her for her recent 5th birthday. It's a pillow and a softie all in one! We usually pop a favourite toy on the bed, but I can't bare to cover up Rosie's face. Here are all the details of the room:
