Nursery Inspiration... Coloured Cots.

I have been noticing a growing trend lately - one that I would love to try (albeit, not with another of my children..eep. 5 children!).  The trend I am talking about of course, is coloured cots.  I think it looks fantastic and delivers a real 'lift' to the room.  A great option if your purchasing a second hand cot or already have a cot that has seen better days (my boys would bite the wooden bar of their cots... teeth marks are not aesthetically pleasing, no matter which way you look at it!)

Soft, muted blue works beautifully with taupe and chocolate. That armchair reminds me of our Pastel Bubbles range..(image from http://sarahrichardsondesign.com)

Love this contrast! Can you imagine a candy pink cot with pink and white spotted sheets?

This is a lovely modern unisex look. Grey works beautifully with yellow and orange ...

This is my favourite. I just love the pop of  yellow against the aqua wall. Stunning!

So... what do you think? Would you try it? Maybe it's time to rethink the old favourites of white or stained wood..

Welcome to Bolly & Bear

Hi All,
I have been considering starting my blog for some time now... but always seemed to find something that was A) more pressing... B) easier...! Time has seemed to somehow fly by and it is now 6 months since I decided to launch my own line and store, Bolly & Bear. When I first considered starting my own line of children bedding and accessories, I was confident in my creative ability and my business sense. Well, six months later, and many lessons learnt, I am more aware of the humungous effort involved in any business - online or otherwise. For every new idea or creative thought, there are always 5, or 50, things to do to bring that idea to fruition. So what has happened in the last 6 months? So much!! From creating a website to sourcing fabric and finding manufacturers, all the hard work of the last 6 months is finally beginning to come together... I am happy to say that my photography session is booked for September 7 and the count down to launching Bolly & Bear online is now on.
