Welcome
Mamas and Papas Furniture
Kids Fashion Review would like to welcome Mamas & Papas nursery furniture to Australia!
Mamas & Papas have been making nursery furniture for almost 30 years, however it has only just hit Australian shores. Based on European styling, the elegant design reflects Mamas & Papas wealth of experience.
The Luxurious Ocean and Orchard Nursery Furniture reflect Mamas & Papas Classic styling with a contemporary edge. Featuring a Cot/Junior Bed, Dresser/Changer and Wardrobe (all sold separately), both classically styled collections are of solid build, in a quality and timeless in design. The thoughtful features such as cots that convert to junior beds, under bed storage draws and change tables that convert to a chest of draws make their ranges practical as well as stylish.
The Ocean Nursery Collection in Dark Oak is made from hand-crafted solid oak and oak veneers and has flowing lines and gracious curves with a traditional deep timber finish.
For a lighter option, the Orchard Nursery Collection is all white with pewter finish handles and is made from tulip wood and veneers, giving a fresh airy feel to any nursery.
Both collections create a stylish base for any nursery design and will be available at leading nursery retailers Australia wide.

41 Orchard
Fresh and Fun
We
are in love with the latest designs by 41 Orchard. Fresh and modern,
these designers will add a fun finish to any nursery or children's room.
Made
in Australia from a low-tac self adhesive fabric designed for wall
graphics, the material is scuff resistant, durable, washable and will
not stretch or scuff over time. Using eco-friendly, non-toxic inks, 41
Orchard Wall decals are PVC free and biodegradable.
41
Orchard wall stickers can be stuck and re stuck as many times as you
like without any wall damage, meaning even the novice decorator can
achieve a fabulous finish!
Why
stop with the feature wall - placement options are only limited by the
imagination and wall decals can be applied to most clean, smooth
surfaces including glass, paint, wood and metal.
Love 41 Orchards design but can’t find an option to suit that empty space
perfectly? Then why not contact them for a custom design!
RRP from AUD$10.00

Delightful Designs
So cute and guaranteed to leave a smile on your face, the 3 Sprouts range is designed to fit seamlessly into your life.

Sprouts was created by three friends who share a love of babies and an
appreciation for unique and modern products. Having worked in design in
New York and Toronto for high profile companies such as Kate Spade,
Barneys New York and Holt Renfrew, they were inspired to create a
collection that appealed to both parents and children.

characters. Storage options include their organic storage caddy, organic
hanging wall hanger, storage box and organic storage bin, with soft
seats, hooded towels and picture frames completing the range.

Sensational Stickers
Removable stickers have become a modern interior trend claiming their place in our homes from the nursery to the kitchen.
Created by friends Fiona and Jen in 2006 The Wall Sticker Company’s goal was to create an instant “wow” factor to any room. The Wall Sticker Company wants to help you create your ultimate space with their extensive range of quality removable stickers.
Removable wall stickers give even the least accomplished interior decorator the ability to create a beautifully finished space. Stickers have a soft matte finish and are thin so sit cleanly on the wall. Due to their design they can be repositioned many times until you get the ‘perfect’ look without damaging your walls.
The Wall Sticker Company Stickers are very thin fabric stickers made from polyester which will adhere to almost any surface. They can be moved around many times, folded, scrunched and even washed without altering their adhesion. Stickers are pvc, BPA and VOC free. This makes them perfect for children's walls, especially if you think they may attempt to redecorate themselves!
Stickers and designs are only limited by your imagination. The Wall Sticker Company not only have a huge range of beautifully designed stickers available in a range of colours, they also offer a custom design option!

boulevard kids
August 16th 2009
Boulevard kids stock the most gorgeous range of cots , bedding , furniture and everything else you could possibly need for that one of a kind nursery.Founder of boulevard kids, Jacinda Bowring, has always had a passion for beautiful things and a well trained eye for style. Her interest in quality furnishings and interiors stems right back to a very early age, “Even at the age of ten, when asked what I’d like for my birthday, instead of wanting the latest toy I had my eye on a gorgeous vintage bed head!”
Jacinda’s love for interior styling and furnishings has combined with
her extensive travels around the world, in particular to North America.
Having spent much of her time in Los Angeles, her absolute favourite
place for inspiration and shopping is L.A’s infamous boutique shopping
precinct ‘The Grove’. Home to some of the world’s best quality
children’s brands and furnishings, she found herself buying more and
more for her nephews back in New Zealand.
Her popularity as the ‘buyer on behalf’ for so many of her friends and
family, along with the lack of stylish quality produced nursery
furnishings available back home, led to the launch of boulevard kids.
The range of furniture, linens, nursery wares and keepsakes you’ll find
on this website is all hand picked and personally scrutinised for
absolute quality and the highest safety standards by Jacinda. She and
her team regularly travel to ensure the very best and latest styles are
available to boulevard kids’ shoppers.
boulevard kids brings heirloom quality pieces and the traditions of family into everyday nursery interiors.
Loving Lunchskins !!
Look what we have found at Bubbalooz. We are in LOVE with Lunchskins !!
Hard to believe, but the popular plastic baggie has not been improved in 40 years! Lunchskins are a fabric, reusable alternative to disposable plastic baggies. Great for kids lunch boxes because of their fantastic designs, and reusable nature! Your kids will love them, as will you! Lunchskins are available in three different sizes, and a range of different designs. They all have a fold over flap and snug hook and loop closure. Snack bags are 16.5cm x 8.9cm
Here are some more great reasons to invest in a Lunchskin!
Dishwasher and washing machine friendly ! Grease and Moisture Proof ! Durable and Reusable ! Many more uses than just lunch. Can also be used for snacks , toiletries , ice pack covers ,dog treats ,cosmetics
The list goes on Be Creative ! Affordable a one time buy rather than the continuous cycle of purchasing and disposing of plastic bags. Great for our enviroment !!!
