Graphic bedding
If you are looking for bedding that is a little bit different, then look no further than Stina Wiresén's lovely graphic print on Scandinavian design site Huset. After the pastel teddy bears and tractors the high street shops seem intent on foisting on us, this distinctive stuff is a breath of fresh air, for sure.
Wiresén, apparently, is an author and graphic designer - and doesn't it just show? Pillows and cushions are also available in the same design, and shipping is possible worldwide. Huset is based in California.

Jan Eleni - a thousand pictures into one print!
In my house, there is a big blue Ikea bin filled with all of the drawings, paintings and sticker collages that my oldest has made in his brief three years. That bin is currently jammed underneath a changing table. I think I'll be ok when it comes time to part with most of these masterpieces, but it just seems unfair to the artist to simply toss them. A lot of people have been taking pictures of the pictures and making a photo album. That's great and all, but....
...I think I'll just order up a giant poster like this one made by brilliant interior designerJan Eleni.

Orangepiel - custom blinds
There has been many an article of late looking back over all the positive changes that the Internet has brought us - but one aspect that is often overlooked is the ready access to customizable goods. Ten years ago, this would have been a dream. Now, I'm thankful every day that I can order fabric, clothes, wallpaper - pretty much anything, in fact - to my own design.
Orangepiel is a case in point. If you just cannot find the right blinds for your nursery, why not upload your own artwork (or your kid's, of course) and have them made?
If there's no Picasso in your family, you can browse their gallery of ready-made designs instead. These are no bog-standard garish or deathly dull designs - their stable of artists includes, for example, Helen Dardik, who we've raved about before. Hers is the design below; the others on this post are from LA illustrator Hsinping Pan.
Don't need blinds but love what you see? It can all be purchased as artwork too. Rejoice!

Bookhou alphabet
The Bookhou style pretty much accords with the spirit of Babygadget, as displayed by our previous enthralled posts on products as desirable as their industrial felt chair and as simple as their bird mobile.
Now there's this alphabet. The Babygadget weakness for alphabets need not be restated. And this one, why, it's typographic! It's restrained. It's full of decorative negative space. If we didn't know better, we'd suspect Bookhou were putting it out deliberately to mock us. But as it is, we'll sigh, and move towards checkout.

Tiny Train Wallpaper
It's a subtle design, yet it's perfect for a child: the little locomtoive on this Tiny Train wallpaper from Rockett St George carries a selection of friendly animals and appealing trees to... well, who knows where?
Whatever, it's a gorgeous motif for a kid to gaze at as they drift off to sleep, and that's good enough for me.
Available at Amazon.

Brigitte Herrod ABC print
It looks like a pack of alphabet cards scattered randomly across the frame, but this colourful piece is actually a single print from the very talented Brigitte Herrod. She made it for her own child, so we can be sure it was created in love. From Rockett St George.

Light-up balloons - yes, really
Here's one of those products that gets me muttering 'in my day...', while secretly being thrilled that we live in such times as these. Light up balloons? My goodness.
Now, I've seen a room full of five-year-olds utterly and completely entertained by the good old-fashioned standard balloons, but I suppose if you want to take them to the very edge of excitement (and beyond) you buy these, blow them up, and switch the lights off. And plain old balloons will never be the same again...

Peagreen prints
Help! Somebody hold me back! Every time I look at this fish print from Peagreen I get an itchy mouse finger and an irrepressible desire to purchase. It is just so beautiful.
Their site is certainly worth a visit if you fancy something both playful and artful for your nursery walls - how about the umbrella print, below? There's plenty to choose from, in several styles, all highly desirable.

Clouds for your wall
I love these wooden clouds and raindrops from Bookhou. You can order whichever of the three shapes you prefer, in whatever quantity, depending on whether you fancy a wall-wide rainstorm or a localised shower. So simple, so sophisticated.
If you like clouds too, check out other cloud-inspired products we've covered on Babygadget.

Cheap and cheerful MDF stools
I can't remember how I first stumbled across German site Werkhaus - all I know is, the Google translate toolbar is working overtime as I try to fathom out the facts about some of their prettiest wares.
Case in point are these MDF photostools: coming in a variety of crazy designs, they look quick and easy to slot together, and they cost just € 59,80 for a pack of three. Cheap and cheerful kids' furniture you can chuck if they get too beaten up.
