 
This month, the folks at Danish by Design have released the Bamboo by Bombol seat for the first time in Australia and it is modern design candy at its best. The styling is sleek and minimalist with a lightweight frame that is highly flexible and can hold up to 18kg. It’s available in three colourways {spring lime, elephant grey or coconut cream} and is a case of “come for the style, stay for the features”…
The basic concept behind the design is its versatility. It has a flexible 3D frame and elasticised fabric that lets your little one choose a position {sitting, playing, resting} simply by shifting their weight. You can lock in a position by adjusting the straps when needed and release it again without having to move the child out of the seat.
The bouncer is suitable for newborns through to toddlers, with an additional “newborn kit” available that includes a head support. The harness on the seat acts as a safety brace, but once your child is older, you can remove the brace and use the seat as a stylish mini lounge chair. Plus, once you’re finished with it, 95% of the Bamboo seat can be recycled at the end of its life. Good news!
You’ll find the Bamboo by Bombol online at Danish by Design.
If you’re thinking about experimenting with some interior decorating over the holiday break, I urge you push paint aside for a moment and think back to the papery walls of yesteryear. Last month I met Kaliska Poynter from Crave Interiors and she’s got me in a wallpaper tizzy!
When I was young, I had Holly Hobbie wallpaper on my bedroom walls and would spend hours lying in bed imagining how much fun I could have if I could join Holly and her friends, frolicking through the fields and picking dandelions.
When you think about wallpaper for kids, it’s easy to imagine those old school wallpaper borders that were popular in the 80s {ducks, teddy bears…} but times have changed my friend, and the humble wallpaper industry has had a design makeover. For example, I’m seriously smitten with the Studio Ditte Collection from the Netherlands. How awesome is the robot design, and what about those vintage porcelain plates?
You can find a full range of children’s wallpaper, wall murals and decals, and general interior decorating products at Crave Interiors.

I stumbled across these sweet Ikea furniture alterations today and I promptly added them to my wishlist in preparation for my next kids’ room makeover.

This frankly awesome pirate design is from the creative mind of Bart Aalbers, an intriguing guy from Rotterdam who digs drawing, graphic design and animation.
This sweet amplifiers set is designed by Dutch illustration duo, LouLou and Tummie. These guys are experts in urban design; you may remember me featuring some of their paper toys a while back.
I had some fun this week testing out this super cute range of Chalkboard Stickers from Bright Star Kids. My pick of the bunch was the Jumbo Strawberry Sticker, which looks perfectly delicious applied to my refrigerator amongst an assortment of magnets, photos, paintings, takeaway menus and other little treasures. The collection also includes apples, elephants, teapots, dots, pears, ladybugs and skulls!
Jumbo Chalkboard Stickers are easy to apply and are fully removable. You can write your memos, shopping lists, inspirational quotes, or knock knock jokes directly onto them with chalk and wipe away with a wet cloth when you need a change. They can be applied to any flat surface and are available for $24.95 (designs pictured here) or $49.95 for the larger wall panels.
Five reasons why we dig it…
1. It looks cool.
2. It’s handy.
2. It’s easy to apply + remove.
3. It’s affordable.
5. It inspired our wordy creativity!
