FRIDAY INSPIRATION: WHITE FLOORS!

Cheers to the weekend! The Baker Playroom is completing today and I am so excited to share it! If you want to see the behind the scenes, head over to my stories on Instagram throughout the day!

Today I'm sharing my ultimate dreamy flooring in kids' spaces...white floors! Both daring and unsurprisingly impractical, these are so pretty I only dream of painting my own kids' floors white. What do you think? So gorgeous you must try? Or absolutely absurd? Either way, they are so very PRETTY!

FRIDAY INSPIRATION: TREEHOUSES!

The long weekend is nearly here and I can't think of anything better than hangin' with my sweet family all weekend long. While we live an urban life with the beach a block away, I still dream of wild and free days for my kiddos with a backyard tree big enough for a tree house. Totally inspired by these beauties!

1. The most incredible treehouse in the most incredible tree in Tuscany, Italy.

2. A simple and beautiful boho hangout perfect for sunny day dreaming.

3. Love this one! An adventure just to climb into it!

4. A slide, a sandbox and a climbing wall make this all-day-fun for little kids.

5. Absolutely unreal!!! Forget about letting the kids have the house; I think I'd take it for myself!

6. Love how amazing this one is while still being achievable. The twirly slide is the perfect accessory.

While our kids enjoy lazy afternoons in their playhouse, I'll be dreaming of a vineyard in Italy with a treehouse overlooking it (#1). Which one is your favourite?

Have a great weekend everyone!

2018 BABY NURSERY INSPIRATION

Are you expecting? There's so much to get ready for apart from the baby's nursery, take a cue from these gorgeous baby nurseries that are totally on trend for the new year.

We love the use of vintage bassinets for a first baby bed and still can't get enough of THIS CANOPY!

Not sure where to start? Metallic side table, extra sized art, statement wallpaper...YES!

Tight on space? A baby and a toddler can live harmoniously (most of the time!) and I still love how we made it work with THIS MODERN CRIB! A special mobile above the crib is a lovely touch too.

Texture and natural materials will still be going strong through 2018 and this nursery absolutely nails both!

TREND LOVE: THE HALF WALL

Maybe it's me, but it seems like everywhere I turn, kids rooms are being painted with a 'half wall' or 'colour blocked wall'. Although it's not entirely new, the trend seems to be growing with more and more amazing rooms created using this simple paint work. I love that it transforms a space so easily, something you could do in a weekend with such low cost.

Starting off with one of my all time favourite kids rooms that feels cozy and perfectly pulled together at the same time. How dreamy are the colours?

This fun and playful boys room has just the burst of colour it needs to make the wall decor, like these wall shelves pop.

If you have a small wall or little nook, this trend is perfect behind a desk to carve out a special work area. Just love that globe on the shelf too!

The dusty rose, mix of plywood and subtle hints of copper are a colour combination I adore. That DIY desk is everything!!!

Mixing rich wood tones and this dark blue creates a room that feels vintage and modern at the same time. As you probably know, I love kids pillows and these animal ones on the bed are so cute!

Love the blackboard bottom and the giant plywood letters, but that gymnastics pommel bench steals the show by bringing in such a warm and worn in vibe to the playroom that feels so unique and special.

If you love this look, you can find more of this trend over on Pinterest on my Half Wall board. To achieve this look in your own kids' room, I recommend painting the bottom colour 40" up from floor to top of feature colour.
