The clever people at Grobag have just invented the sock suit.
Great - so after bath time the toddler can slip straight inside and stay cosy and safely mobile till bedtime. No more lost socks, kicked off sheets or tripping on the sleepsuit......
Available for $45/pair from Urban Baby.
It's the babyC cradle, designed by Dripta Roy for Puur Design Studio.
For 2650 Euros - it looks as expensive as it is!
What a stylish set of drawers...
Small ones for little hair accessories and big ones for trucks, drums, even walkers!
By Takeshi Miyakawa Design from, of course, Tokyo.......!! I heart Japan.
Now we have found a new space, we can start to think of all smart and stylish ways to fill it....
This Offi Kapsule chair provides storage, and an attractive place to sit. It comes in a range of colours and is only $US45!
It seems I'm not the only one who appreciates this smart little piece of furniture either. The Kapsule Chair was named "one of the best product designs of the year" in 2002 as a recipient of the Silver level Industrial Design Excellence Award (IDEA)

Completely foldable and portable these Lalpanzi beds offer a funky porta-cot solution.
They look really comfy too.........but part of me can't help thinking they look like a puppy bed?!
Love the name, love the website and LOVE the furniture!
The Small One chair and table set (above), is designed and made in Sydney by Dad, Chris Byrne - another like-minded parent looking for something stylish and functional for his daughter to use.
Small One's organic curves invite safe play and will delight design-conscious parents. The products are made to Australian and NZ safety standards - so they're not just for decoration! Also made from high quality Scandinavian birch plywood, harvested from sustainable, managed forests they are worth supporting and are so different to other major children's product manufacturers.
When not in use the chairs nestle neatly under the table. Assembled the chair is 47x 47x 42cm, with a seat height of 24cm and table 57x 45 x 72cm. Perfect for your toddler.
Available from lefthandmake.
Available in a range of funky colours - pink/orange/purple/green - the Nest chair comes in handy for all the family. The centre pops out to form a separate stool, for an older child, while the donut-shaped main chair would be great for a wobbly "almost sitting" baby, or even for Mum!
Made with organic materials, and filled with foam that would otherwise become landfill, the Nest is an environmentally-wise choice that won't look out of place in any modern home.
Do not delay - Organic Child has one pink one left at the reduced price of $99!
I love Sooki Baby - they keep everything simple and sweet - just the right amount of colour and design and never corny. (Their website is the perfect example!)
We were lucky enough to get some of their cute bedding as a Christening gift. Holly's Leander cot looks even cuter now!
I just spied this Alphabet Quilt of theirs on Baby's Got Style. I like.
One of our local cafes has purchased these Magis chairs for the kiddies. Let's just say they are a very popular addition...
Available from Questo Design.
These funky rechargable lights would have been great when we were doing lots of night-feeds! I ended up using a torch and flattening the batteries. Even these days, I'll use the light from my mobile phone to check on my sleeping beauty.
From The Hip Infant.
We're a little too mobile for these now, but in the early days, Grow Bags were fabulous.
Like a little personalised sleeping bag, they can't get kicked off, like blankets can....and they make dressing for bed so easy.
This one is availble from Urban Baby. Check out the variety of colours and fabrics available.
We've previously featured the Coco Baby Lounger - and got an overwhelming response - everyone agrees they are a great looking chair.
Well get ready folks, as they've just released a plexi version that is just as nice. Check it out at Bebe. Hello Red Rock! Coconut Blue! Harvest Orange! So cool.
My name is Katie Mackenzie. I have a gorgeous baby girl, and a husband who shares my appreciation for design. We hope to bring Holly up in a place that is full of fun, style and function. We have no room for clutter. And we are limited to products that are available to Australians. This blog summarises our efforts.
