XAVIER'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated Xavier's 2nd birthday at home with food, friends and fun decorations. Xavier is in LOVE with animals so we decided on a forest animal theme with the little Holztiger wooden animals from his room as well as felt animal masks for the kids.

Xavier looking so sweet waiting for his friends...

This flower wall was so simple…my amazing husband did a great job randomly putting the flowers up with washi tape.

If you are in Vancouver, Butter Baked Goods makes the most delicious cake. It has become our go-to bakery for birthday cakes because the flavour never disappoints. If you aren't nearby, they share all of their amazing recipes in the cookbook, Butter.

It was a such a fun morning of friends, play and yummy treats celebrating our favourite little guy, Xavier. Happy Birthday sweet boy!

JASPER'S BEFORE AND AFTER NURSERY

This house is filled with character, right down to the pink ceiling! Tara and Ed had recently relocated from London, UK to Vancouver, Canada when they found out they were expecting a baby. With a busy work life and finding the vast number of options for a new baby overwhelming, they decided to enlist our SAVVY e-design package. Although this space is tiny (6 x 9.5 feet) and had green walls with pink trim and ceiling, they were undeterred. The room attracts lovely natural light and they wanted to create an oasis for their newborn. 

It's incredible what a few coats of paint will do! Brightening up the walls and ceiling transform the light in the space.

Isn't it amazing to see the difference? Since little Jasper will be flying back and forth between Europe and North America, Tara and Ed loved the idea of the Rifle Paper Co. prints from various cities they have previously visited. The little Maileg mouse and Noodoll were gifts from friends. Welcome to the world baby Jasper, I hope you love your new room!

6 SIMPLE WAYS TO INCLUDE LETTERS IN KIDS' SPACES

I am a guest contributor over on hello, Wonderful today where my post about letters in kids' spaces is being shared. 

Combining learning with decoration is top of many parents' wish lists. As an interior decorator for children's spaces, I often get asked to include a child's first letter or name in their room design, partly for fun and also to encourage learning. I love finding unique and fun ways to welcome this into children's spaces.

Head over to read 6 simple ways you can introduce letters into kids' spaces in a fun and fabulous way!
