DIY playhouse for my daughter

We finished the playhouse today. It's made of four sides of a playpen we were no longer using. I just added a cardboard roof and threaded a blanket through the sides of the playpen. On top of the roof I placed another blanket. And for more comfort I used a big cushion as flooring. Just added a bit of decoration and here we go...
My daughter loves it! Especially putting her toys and books inside and then closing the door. It's her little hut.

Inspiration for the boys' room

I was browsing the internet for ideas for the boys' room. IKEA + Children gave these stunning results:

I love the colours. So I have decided to spice up the blue guestroom (which will become the boys' room) with a little bit of yellow. Only problem. The STUVA storage system is not exactly yellow but lime green...

This is such a great storage idea. I already had on mind to use fabric boxes for the boys' clothes. But how lovely are those little tags!

This is definitely a design I want to copy. I already bought the frame boards in order to use them as book shelves. What a beautiful way to showcase lovely books.

Milk magazine - Kid's collection

I found this magazine in my book shop lately. It's a great preview of the spring/summer collection of numerous brands. I already found so many inspiring ideas I want to adapt (unfortunately most of the clothes are quite expensive and not available in Hong Kong).

I like the yellow trend a lot. So maybe I will just dye some white clothes...

Then I also saw a cute dress with a whale print by www.bobochoses.com . And a cute octopuss shirt (www.picnik-barcelona.com). A lace dress by www.kza.fr . Lots of cute stuff at www.imps-elfs.com , bow ties on tops and dresses and lots of other stuff... So I guess it will be a creative spring for us!

Styles out of my wardrobe for expecting mums

Some style ideas out of my wardrobe for expecting mums. Funny that I always wear black trousers. I actually own a nice pair of .rust coloured cord trousers (maternity wear). But it seems I haven't taken any photos wearing it yet... It was amazing to see how the belly disappeared when I put on my blouse for Christmas eve. On other occasions I prefer it comfy and tend to wear long stretchy shirts and I found that small jackets look great on an expanding belly. Too wide clothes usually tend to make you look bigger than you really are in my opinion.

Anybody pregnant and in need for some inspiration of what to wear? I just browsed images of expecting mums in google and liked those listed above. So tomorrow I really need to check my wardrobe and copy some of the looks. Only problem is that most of my clothes seem to be too short now for my growing belly...
