Room Tour - A fresh, modern nursery

Today's room tour is a fresh, white modern nursery I came across via Mini Style blog.

I love the overall white theme with the contrast of black. If colour is more your thing you could introduce an accent colour and personalise it a little more for either a girl or boy.

I came across Tarina's account on Instagram @oh.eight.oh.nine and loved the gorgeous look she created for her baby boy Chet's nursery. Follow her feed for more design inspo.

Loving Checks & Grids - homewares, fashion, everything!

I'm loving checks and grids this season. It's a classic look but done in a fresh way!

I also think the pattern looks best when it is kept to either black, white or grey.

Here are my favourites -

Cardigan from Esther Boutique

Quilt cover from Country Road

Cushion from Country Road

Maxi Dress from Esther Boutique

Check plate from Domayne

Checked shirt from Supre

Grid flag from Moore Creative

Grid Paper Sack from @prettytidy_roshnee Photo from @oh.eight.oh.nine

Are you a fan? Own anything check or grid?

At last count I had a blanket, a shirt, plates and I've got my eye on that Country Road quilt cover!

Kids Bedrooms - Monochrome and Neutral. Rooms by Sissy + Marley

Kids bedrooms are fun rooms to design and style. 

The latest room to be doing the rounds on the blogs is Adrienne's monochrome room, designed by Sissy + Marley. This shows that the black and white theme is still here and very popular.

Adrienne's Room

I've noticed that most of the Sissy + Marley rooms seem to work to the same formula.  Statement wallpaper, reading nook, cosy rug, animal head on the wall and pattern and texture plays a big part in the finish of their rooms. When you have a winning formula, you stick to it! Obviously colours and themes change for each child due to their age, interests and space.

I also loved this nursery also designed by Sissy + Marley. 

It's simple, fresh and neutral and perfect for a baby in the first year. I like that you can also build on the base over time. Adding colours, new toys and pieces.

Are you a fan of monochrome and neutrals for kids rooms? Or do you prefer a bit more colour?

Home Tour - Lotta Agaton - Stockholm apartment

Today I'm sharing some photos of freelance stylist Lotta Agaton's Stockholm apartment that she recently sold.  I came across a photo of Lotta's kitchen and I was curious to see how the rest of the home was styled.  It is very light and Nordic in style. Monochrome tones and natural finishes.

I think I was attracted to the white scheme as I think that is the direction we are heading in with our refurbishments/renovations.  With white floors, walls and some white furniture I'm looking at ideas to add warmth and colour with plants and homewares.

Take a look -
