CandyK's Profile

We had the same kind of hoopla over here in Australia with Stella McCartney for Target (same name, same logo, but different Target company I think). Loads of people lining up early, grabbing everything, flogging it on ebay... A few weeks after it all went on sale, I went in and there was a clearance rack up the back of the clothes section with some of the stuff. Poorly made, weirdly fitting. Not at all worth the hype..
Saying that though, I'd love one of the missoni towels!

I was witness to a prep kid knocking out a toddler yesterday afternoon with their backpack!. It was exactly like above, totally unaware of the size of their backpack, and thwack - a quick spin around and the littlest one was on the ground in tears!. These are the standard size school issue backpacks - they are huge! - and none with wheeled options.
I'm in Australia, and they have school backpacks as part of the uniform.

How very sweet!
I built (with the help of my dad!) a frame around some peg board and installed it on the inside of my daughters wardrobe doors. It's been great for hanging up hair ribbons and hats and bags - all sorts of girly paraphernalia! It keeps it organised and out of site - but looks great when she opens the doors.

ooh i love aunty cookie... delicious room..

the little picture with the bunnies in the second picture - I had one when I was little - wherever did you find it?

lovely to see an Australian room here on AT - its rocks!

I was wondering - why don't you have a doona cover (duvet - I'm from Australia). I've seen a few house tours that don't have doona covers - is that an American thing?
THanks!
(Love your place by the way!)

They do have an oilcloth like fabric. Its come in dots - I got red with white dots, and its also in light blue, yellow and black - all with dots. Its like a plastic coated tablecloth type fabric and is quite wide.
I used it to cover a door to make a desk top (with the ikea legs).
I'm in Australia, but would assume it would be in Ikea stores everywhere - we seem to get new stuff last...
I can't find it on the website, but it was about AU$15/metre

Cute Idea - I have done this with some of my Little Girls cutest artworks - but I've left them on the embroidery hoop and hang them like this - but a cushion is a sweet idea too.

I think stitching would be easier. I just copied the drawing onto the fabric with a thin pen and then embroidered over it. (Maybe I think that cos I don't actually have any fabric paint!)

I Love the ideas on your link Jackie 99 - they look fabulous - thank you for sharing. The ledges you've used look way better than the Ikea ones I was looking at. Are they moulding - or what are they made from? Cheers

Looks like the perfect setting for a horror/suspense movie... what a place!
Please keep us updated on the progress - though being from down under and not knowing much about the area - is it ever warm there?

Richmond, Australia is my local Ikea. Thats where I saw another toy kitchen hack that I recreated at home.
It was an ODDVAR stool, with ATTEST handles and PANNA coasters as the stovetop burners.
The DUKTIG mini kitchen utensils hang via an S hook on the Door Handles, which were installed on the side of the stool as a rack.
I painted it pink and made little mini size teatowel to hang with it.

Sorry I don't have a pic, it has been passed on to a friend, whose littleun is enjoying it now.
