Dear Kids of Italy

So yeah, in my hunt for a bed for Tabitha (solved in the end by some diligent eBay sniping, yay), I indulged myself a little and took a peek at some of the high-end stuff. The stuff we could never afford. What do you think of this little set-up? It’s from an Italian place known [...]

Cool Spaces for Kids

Just spotted on Etsy this beautiful, portable hop scotch mat and puppet theater by Cool Spaces for Kids.

He Doesn’t Want Kids But I’m A Single Parent Dating Question

Ashley asks: “My boyfriend told me he never wanted kids. It wasn’t very surprising when he told me that his ex wife stopped taking birth control pills so she could get pregnant. It also wasn’t surprising when he told me that he signed all of his parental rights for his own child away and got [...]

City Walks With Kids guide books

Anyone who’s tried a city holiday with kids will know that mainstream guidebooks just don’t cut it. What they want to tell you about are the must-see sights, the ones you might have to queue hours to see. If you’re lucky there might be two pages devoted to kids’ attractions. What I’ve always thought I [...]

This year junior can cook in style right alongside Dad with their very own Kids Kettle. (Apologies to all the Mom grillers out there. It’s just that I use the grill [...]

Hi BabyG Fans! If you’ve enjoyed exploring children’s design with me over the past few years, you may be interested to know that I have recently started an interior design blog for grownups!

Sofas for kids: Jennifer Delonge

We like Jennifer Delonge. We’ve featured her bright-coloured shelves and her table and stools. Now, to complete the set, you can go for some kid-sized soft furniture too: sofas and armchairs. If you like the plain orange set, above, wait til you find out what else she’ll do. You can choose from a selection of [...]

Volume Zero kids’ furniture

This chair and table set from Volume Zero – available from Rose and Grey – slots together with no need for nails or screws, always a good thing when there are precious little fingers at stake. I especially like the simple but pleasing shapes of the table. It’s simultaneously solid, and playful. _uacct = “UA-306873-2″; [...]

Fred Perry Kids

I have to admit that I’m at a disadvantage when it comes to iconic British brand Fred Perry: I have a deep and probably unfounded dislike of the polo shirt. Since the whole range was founded by a champion English tennis player, said shirt is rather much the cornerstone of the Perry look. If I [...]
