 First of all, let’s just say we are back! Back in the land of Blog. We have lots of new creatures to introduce and amazing things to share.

Welcome old friends and new, La De Dah Kids is a buzz with creativity at the moment and what a place to be.

What’s with all the bells about black and white? Well, it’s only the very latest chic thing to do in your bubba’s bedroom. Setting up a nursery is a new mum’s right of passage. Selecting a cot, paint colour, prints, floor coverings and just the right soft toys to welcome your little one home is all part of the “nesting” of a mum-to-be.

However, what have we had to choose from? Good old lemon or mint? Please, its been done to death. How about something fresh and funky? Yes, please! Hello, we are not embracing Goth for Tots. It’s about pairing things back, lots of white and just a little black for definition. Then we add pops of colour and texture to make it soft and homey for the little one. Lots of layers and chunky knits, rugs, cushions, prints and maybe some timber to warm it up a little.

If you are not sure what you are having then getting the basics down before bubs arrival is the most important part. Adding the colour later is also heaps of fun. I know I went on a pink rampage when my daughter arrived.

What do we love at La De Dah? We love the black round floor mat. It’s been out of stock for a while but will be back next month. With tones of black cream and grey, it’s great for either girls or boys.

Storage, we love storage and there is never enough. Our crochet storage baskets are fantastic for all of baby’s very necessary “stuff.” Then as baby grows, they can be used as toys start to accumulate. Baskets come in black, cream and black and white stripe.

  Everyone loves an heirloom. Why not start a tradition in your own home? We have the most divine cream and black throws, all hand made and 100% cotton. Perfect for the rocking chair to cuddle under during late night visits to your nursery.

Accessories are what give personality to a room. We all love a nice garland, how about a La De Dah word banner to make a statement in your child’s bedroom? This season we have also introduced our super funky industrial crochet light for a little bit of wow.

Lastly but absolutely not least are our adorable softies. This week Sebbie Shark, Sammy Snail and Wolfie have come to play happy families in our gorgeous monochrome room.
