Blog Love: Jojo's Room

I don’t just love Jojo’s Room because of its name. There are so many beautiful images on this blog dedicated to children – it’s sure to inspire! Don’t forget about the little people – they deserve beautiful and engaging spaces too!

A sweet children’s room with a built-in adventure play area. Love it!

Children's room: A new look for bunk beds

This pretty white children’s room is in a Swiss mountain chalet in the famous village of Gstaad, where I have been lucky enough to spend the last two months.  My time here has ended (leaving on a plane today actually) and I will soon be back to blogging from Canada. Sigh.

Nesting in Ottawa

On my most recent trip to Ottawa, I was so happy to have stumbled upon Nest, the sweetest children’s toy store located on the ever-evolving (and increasingly popular) Dalhousie Street. I was quickly attracted to the brightness of the space and the colourful (yes, I said colourful) wooden objects. The blocks, mobiles, and soft woollen toys reminded me of my travels in Switzerland and I knew I just had to have a peek inside. Let me tell you, Nest is a delight!

Lisa, the friendly owner, took me on a tour and spoke of her fondness for beautiful, organic, and eco-friendly toys and textiles.  Although most of Nest’s inventory is full of colour, I was so happy to see such a lovely selection of white toys and clothes. I’m thrilled to feature some of her products here but I urge you to have a wander down to Dalhousie if you’re in Ottawa or have a look on Nest’s website for more European and locally-made goodies for the kids in your life!
