Magazine Swap # ONE

I'm in the middle of a Magazine Swap Frenzy! A few weeks ago, Yvonne and I decided to do a magazine swap, since I took her up on her suggestion. And look what lovelies I got:

• Ariadne at Home
• Ariadne at Home Kinderen - kids
• vtwonen
• kek - kids

All interior decorating - All GREAT.

These photos are all from Ariadne at Home Kinderen - very inspiring, huh?

I love all the cool ways they've used wallpaper. Check out the *Retro House.* (Below)

I think these pillows (below) are real sweet - and quite easy to copy!

Well...all this inspiration comes in quite handy, because we have decided that we want the kids out of our bedroom and in to a (new) bedroom of their own. We have the (almost) done playroom downstairs and a family bedroom upstairs. That will be the Kids bedroom and our "closet room" will be our new Parent bedroom - sigh - closets will go downstairs in mud/washroom. This is a huge project, but I hope we will be done before 2007! 

More Magazine Swaps to come.....

Wow, those are fantastic. I printed out the tree photo. I have a font that is animal silhouettes if you decide to do something like those pillows. Let me know what animals you would want and I could email you a .pdf file of those.

Eek! All the magazines are SO great. I'm dying over here. I just started working on our playroom and would love to incorporate a tree in there. Thanks for sharing!

I love every single one of these pictures. Why do I not work on making my kid's rooms this cute? I do not know.

I LOVE your new banner too!

OH MY GOD I want to copy them all...they are all so awesome. Just in time for my planning a re-deco for Lolas room..now see if you lived in melbourne I could have borrowed your mags!!

I love that tree on the wall. That'd be a great idea for even an entryway where coats & scarves are hung--not even necessarily just a kid's room.

Those magazines look fantastic.I love that patchwork wall it reminds me of what Manda did.

Ah I love the "binnenboom" (indoor tree) and the wallpaper house. These Ariadne kids editions are always so great and I'm always waiting in anticipation for the new season to get my hands on a copy. I'm so happy you are pleased with your magazines. I'm going to tell about yours on my blog tomorrow :o)

I'm new to your blog (it's beautiful) and I gasped when I saw your chalkboard! We just moved into a new place and it's pleading for a big chalkboard - did you make it yourself, or find it somewhere? I'm so clueless when it comes to sources for DIY. Anyhow, it's wonderful.
