Room of the day: Pink & Orange girl's bedroom

I think I just found Anoushka's next bedroom....

Isn't it fun? It's by Andrika King Design - Click here to see the rest of the room. Oh, and you must visit Andrika's beautiful blog - you may have heard of it - Nursery Notations. PS In case you were wondering, this is what Noushie's room looks like now. It's a natural progression... Don't you think? PPS Loving the Raspberry Juju Hat!!! PPPS Big thanks to Table Tonic reader Juli, who emailed me to say: "Hi Louise, Love your blog and go to it nearly every day! Saw this picture of the Juju Hat used in a nursery from the blog Nursery Notations. Thought you'd like it, if you haven't seen it already. Regards, Juli". You were right, Juli - I adore it!

Table Tonic in the Howard's Storage World catalogue!

Remember this picture of Anoushka-Tonic's newly decorated room? 

Well! Much to my delight, the folks over at Howard's Storage World were so enamored with my use/styling of their "Tubtrugs", that they gave me a shout out in their newest catalogue (I know!!!!!), which hit all HSW stores last Monday, and will be in stores for a year(!).

Ironically, I picked up the new catalogue when I was in Howard's Storage World buying even more "Tubtrugs" for the TV room! I call them a very easy solution to kid's toys strewn throughout the entire house (they have handles, people!). And yes, I'm addicted.

Isn't the cover great? So, what's your star buy at Howards Storage World? Tell me!
 

Kid's room of the day: Flouro pink & grey

Flouro pink tulle over a dove grey day bed. Surprising. Modern. Easy! And if I'm not mistaken Do-it-yourselfers, that would be the Ikea Hemnes day bed ($599), painted a warm grey. Best thing about this room is that the pink is easily "removed". But why is this important?

People keep telling me girls go right off pink when they hit 5 or 6, so I was reluctant to feature it too heavily in Anoushka's room (below), which she adores regardless. In the case of the above room, simply substitute a different colour piece of tulle or even a patterned fabric, and change blankets/throws. This is a good kid's room "formula". I'm giving it a gold star.

Blast from the past: The SHOP magazine shoot

Ooooh! I just found some pictures from the Shop til you Drop magazine shoot they did at our previous house, which appeared in their July 2010 issue. I thought these would brighten up the little TT blog nicely...

(above) Wearing a Scanlan & Theodore dress, a Table Tonic tribal necklace and K Jacques sandals. Table Tonic Vintage Suzani, coffee table found on eBay and painted white.

(above) An Hermes box, my beautiful poppy bowl from The Armchair, a mirrored vase from Freedom and some favourite books all reside on a side table found on eBay and painted gloss black.

(above) A few of my favourite things. Kelly Wearstler's "Modern Glamour", Vintage silver coasters from eBay, a Crabtree & Evelyn candle atop a tiger print ceramic dish and a vintage glass bottle with a bunch of plastic succulents from Spotlight.

(above) Rainbow reads in Jasper's room. Arranging the books by colour instantly neatens up a kid's room. Try it!

"The statues", which continue to grow on me every day!

(above) The blue chairs made quite a statement in the living room (looking back into the kitchen). Table Tonic Ikat cushions.

(above) A certain princess's favourite tutu (hanging off some Anthropologie coral knobs, sourced on eBay)!

(above) A Table Tonic Moroccan Wedding Blanket and Union Jack cushions (on the bed that wouldn't fit into our new bedroom!).

(above) This was the bookshelf joinery wall in our old kitchen and I miss it (and my books) dearly. One thing our new house doesn't have is bookshelves (or even spare walls for them!). Wearing: Indigo stripey top, Kookai pants, Table Tonic tribal necklace and a vintage belt from Sydney's Glebe markets (back when they were... vintage-y).

And so the next chapter begins! 

Happy Monday, Tonic-ettes!

Gimme! of the day: "Negative Space Alphabet" Print

Graphic Designers, Carrie & Morgan (aka the ridiculously talented Ampersand Studio girls) have a fab little Etsy Ampersand shop. And how golly-gosh-darn sweet to boot is this little number (or should I say, letter!)? The "Negative Space Alphabet" print in Pinks:

Buy it here - ($15, 8 x 10") or here ($18, 11 x 14"). Oh, and PS? Comes in Blues and Brights as well!
