Monster letter prints are now available in my shop, LITTLE FRILLS paper + goods!
Incredible installation at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane. Artist Yayoi Kusama created a brilliantly white environment for an interactive children’s project called The Obliteration Room…where over the course of two weeks children who visited were given colored dot stickers to collaborate in the transformation of the space. Looks like fun! The installation is part of Kusama’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition that runs through March 12.

Matte Stephens is a super talented artist from Portland. I can’t believe I am just now discovering his work. The geometric shapes, the colors, cameras, arrows…it’s so pleasant and humorous all at the same time. I just love it. I’m thinking about ordering a print from his shop…could quite possibly be my inspiration piece for the baby’s nursery.

As I was researching ideas for the baby’s nursery, I came across this modular children’s bed inspired by treehouses by Aalto + Aalto. Even though our little ones will have separate rooms, I still think this room is brilliant for toddlers. I love the color palette, the way the walls are painted and the lovely artwork by Darling Clementine.
Have you seen these new papier-mâché animal heads from Dwell Studio? They make me chuckle because I actually made one in high school…it was a black and white zebra head. Crazy! Wish I had a photo to show you.
Fact: The literal translation of the French term “papier-mâché” is “chewed paper.

Look at this! Designer Jason Gomez created this awesome alphabet installation for his new baby girl’s nursery. I love the colors, the pattern and all the different letters. My favorite is the…well I really can’t choose just one, they are all lovely! This makes me want to do a little canvas series for Jax’s room.

Designer & illustrator, João Rodrigues: Gennebra enjoys drawing, painting and photographing nature, animals and humans and their stories. Last week I came across his beautiful shop. I’m a fan of his limited edition Mammals book which is made from antique stationery papers. I’d love to see it in person, I will have to order one before they are sold out! I also like his Animal Hands watercolor painting…its glow-in-the-dark too! His illustrations are so meticulous, like this one of the stork and fox. You must visit his flickr to see his studio in Portugal and his process, where he does everything by hand using several printing techniques.
Oh…he and his girlfriend have a paper shop, Arminho.
New momma, Jamie from Hank + Lucy has truly made a perfect space for her little guy. It looks so cozy and comfortable. My favorite part about it, is that there is no extravagant theme! Why does it have to? It’s perfect. Every little detail. See more of little Henry’s nursery here.
One thing that everyone kept asking me when I was pregnant…what is your theme for the nursery? Agh…I don’t want one! Well, I guess you could say its transportation, but it’s a modern and vintage mix. Lots of old toys, books and artwork. What is your little ones room like?
