Girl’s Floral Nursery by Minnie and Me Interiors

How sweet is this room by Minnie and Me Interiors? We just love the soft pinks and girly touches; the mix of texture and the little whimsical plush dolls. Here is a little bit about Minnie and Me, and more information on the girl’s rooms!

Minnie and Me Interiors :

Kristy – owner, started Minnie and Me Interiors earlier this year whilst on maternity leave with her daughter, Minnie! Minnie and Me Interiors, is a small family run business based in Melbourne, Australia that offers design services and produces darling self-adhesive removable wallpapers.

Minnie and Abigail’s (a close friend’s daughter) rooms were the highlights for them last year! These rooms showcase two of their most popular floral removable wallpapers, both available on their website.

Minnie’s Room

As Minnie entered her first year, Kristy wanted to update her room. Minnie is Kristy’s beautiful little daughter and muse. She needed a fun and magical play space in her room to replace the original rocking/ feeding chair as well as a new wardrobe. The brief for Minnie’s original nursery was pink, pink and more pink! The biggest challenge was probably selecting the right shade of pink for the wardrobe, as they spent over 2 hours searching for the perfect shade!

Kristy wanted to keep the original feminine and cozy feel by including different textures and beautiful decor. Custom wallpaper was one of the show stopping features in the room and the delicate bouquet of beautiful flowers on a blush background is simply perfect. The feature wall is Kristy’s favorite thing about the space, and she continues to be in love with it!

Abigail’s Room

Abigail’s room was a special project for Kristy, as it was for the daughter of her much loved friends, Emma and Andrew. Emma longed for pastels and grey with touches of gold for the color scheme. They also really wanted a beautiful but practical nursing chair, beautiful artwork, book shelves, a gorgeous rug and decals or wallpaper for the feature wall. They described the space they envisioned using words like pretty, floral, and girly!

The focal point of a room is the custom pink watercolour floral removable wallpaper by Minnie and Me Interiors. They didn’t even look at any other wallpapers, once Emma laid eyes on this feminine, timeless and elegant print, she just had to have it. Kristy’s absolute favorite feature in Abi’s room is her beautiful doll’s house! Every little girls dream, and set against the beautiful feature wall showcasing their gorgeous floral wallpaper, with large scale blooms the impact is simply divine.

Sleepykins // A Modern Room In An Old Farmhouse

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief 1 Comment

If you know me (Editor-in-Chief Priscila Barros) at all, you know I love a good interiors project. I was thrilled to recently help a sweet family renovate their little boy’s room. They’d bought a farmhouse with good bones and great natural light, so all we really had to do is source some cute accessories.

I discussed with the homeowner, Rachel, what she likes, and then made a mood board. I sent over inspiration, ideas, items and more — and would talk with her through text and email to make sure we could both put our heads together together to make a sweet space for her son.

Rachel did an awesome job getting a few extra odd and ends, too, to bring out the room’s personality. I think we nailed, it don’t you?

Sleepykins // The Cutest Room for Ever

Guest post by Patty Nelson of @tinykaper.

Ever’s toddler room was her big gift this past Christmas. I started putting her room together by first converting her crib into a toddler bed. The bed became not only a place for her to sleep in, but also served as a space for her to lounge, read and play. Most of the larger pieces of furniture in her room were purchased from either Ikea or Target, which we ended up doing some DIY on. We then chose a rug that continues to serve as a statement piece and anchor for her entire room.
What I like most about her room is that it is filled with colorful toys, objects and decor from small businesses and shops we’ve come across on Instagram. We’ve become friends with many of these shop owners and talented artisans, and they continue to be such a great source of inspiration for me in decorating Ever’s constantly evolving space.
My biggest piece of advice for those putting a kids’ room together is to work with what you have and to curate and edit as you decorate. Play with colors and patterns and have fun!

Sleepykins// A Special Space for a Busy Toddler

With our youngest child turning 3 in just a few months, the time had come to stop holding on to the nursery (insert irrational crying here). From the crayon scribbles on my walls, it was pretty apparent that he had well and truly embraced the toddler life so it was high time I embodied this in his room (minus the wall scribbling).

Decorating a toddler room can be deceptively hard, with their curious hands and flippant interests. Yet it is possible to decorate a fun, beautiful and toddler-friendly room that works for everyone.

As it would happen, using Rhys’ multiple interests was the best starting point. By using his toys and current favourites as décor and shelf items, I could then decorate around them using my chosen colour palette.

Choosing the colours was easy – I found some cushions that I just had to have in his room, which then gave me some direction for the rest of the décor.

I chose a mixture of patterned and textured cushions, as well as the house cushion. I love that these can form part of playtime, but also look fabulous sitting on a bed. Plus, choosing a mixture of colours and designs means that many of these cushions will grow with your child, making each dollar stretch a little further.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match your décor – in fact, kids’ rooms are the best and easiest place to do this! I chose some lovely timber products as my shelf items. Choosing these as my base pieces equals more versatility when it comes to mixing things up in your toddler boy’s room.

There are so many beautiful toys among our collections these days, both old and well loved and brand new shiny ones. By rotating these toys on the shelves regularly, forgotten toys become new again and the room gets a fresh look each time.

More often than not, it’s the stuff we have shoved away that make the best décor! I choose to use costumes and cute shoes and hats to pop out on display to fill in a blank space. Not only do they look fun, they will inject a little piece of your toddler’s personality into the room without spending extra money.

Sometimes the hardest part is resisting the temptation to put everything out on display! Most times, I will choose a few playthings that compliment each other and then continue to work around those. As always, toddlers love to touch so it can never hurt having a little extra space on shelves for them to use.

We were pretty pleased with how Rhys’ room makeover turned out, and from the look on his face when he saw it, I’m pretty confident he’ll be happy with it for a while to come yet – as long as I keep an eye on him with the crayons.

Vida’s room definitely reflects his personality and culture. He’s a curious and busy child, so his space had to be rich and stimulating. When I decorate, I try and keep everything at his eye level, it encourages him to explore and develop self-help skills in his space. I’m also a big fan of color and anything DIY! Vida spends most of his day in here enjoying his puzzles, caring for his baby doll, and watering the plants.

Sleepykins//Room for Adventure

Finding the perfect décor to suit a toddler can be tough. When the toddler is the youngest of five, it can sometimes seem as though there can’t possibly be anything out there that we haven’t already tried! Enter the glorious world of Instagram and Etsy, with their talented movers and makers who inspire novices and professionals and everyone in between with their gorgeous and unique wares.

With Rhys’ latest room makeover, I wanted to expand on our previous “wild” theme, and continue to embrace imagination and adventure while supporting small businesses. You see, Rhys is our loose cannon; our rule breaker. With his heart pinned firmly to his sleeve, he plays hard and he loves even harder.

We chose black, white and grey as our base colours for the furniture and walls in this space. The pops of colour are predominantly yellow and orange, creating a welcoming warmth and softening the monochrome decor.

Rhys’ art masterpieces are created at his little table and chairs. When he is done channelling Monet, we find him playing with his favourite toys at his house bookshelf. A soft and inviting floor cushion provides the perfect place to curl up with a book (and for jumping, of course). Stashed away under the crib are the discarded toys, hidden from view by the crib skirt but still easily accessible for little hands.

His room is toddler friendly, personal and warm. The Camera Shadow Box and the wall art can grow with him, and the shelf items changed to match his current interests. Rhys and one of his brothers, Sam, spend hours in here playing, hatching schemes and making mess – otherwise known as creating beautiful memories.
