Kid Style: Adore Magazine

Do you read any online magazines? I recently discovered Adore Home Magazine from Australia.
"Adore Home invites you into inspirational homes, looks at the latest products on the market and whisks you away to gorgeous holiday destinations."
The latest issue is all about colour and it features lots of ideas on how to incorporate colour into your home, as well as some great ideas for kid's rooms.

If you want to try adding some bold colour to your home, but are afraid of using it in your main living areas you could try and get your "fix" by doing over a kid's bedroom or if you don't have kids what about a powder room or even a mudroom?

I love looking at images of colourful rooms and really appreciate good design using bold, colourful patterns, but the bottom line is that in my own home I am too scared to make the commitment.

Have you decorated your home with colour? 

Here is a collection of kid's rooms from Adore Magazine all incorporating lots of COLOUR.

So Cute

Have you seen little Scarlet's bedroom reveal over on Christine's lovely blog called Bijou and Boheme?

People ask me all the time why I read blogs and this is a good example of why I indulge in my vice at least for a few minutes everyday--who I am I kidding?--to be perfectly honest some days it's more like a couple of hours! This may sound super shallow, but I just can't get enough of pretty images. Blogs and magazines just make me happy. In a house of 4 boys it is nice to escape to "girl world" (as my husband calls it) and soak in all things pink and sparkly.

I will never have a little girl and probably will never be brave enough to wallpaper a whole room in gold floral paper but man I love seeing all this loveliness in someone else's home! Christine did a super job pulling this room together using a mix of high end pieces, vintage and even Ikea.

My favourite piece in the room is this vintage loveseat, love the pop of pink!

And on a related topic... found this image on Tumblr and thought the wallpaper/stencil detail behind the bed was a great idea especially if you have a wallpaper in mind that is really expensive (have you seen the cost of some papers?!) or if you want just a little hit of pattern. I have never been a big fan of feature walls, but I think this works perfectly for the toddler set.
