We recently put our house on the market which means that not only is the house spic, span and shiny, but we also have the photos to prove it! When I looked at the photo of Little Miss’ nursery, I was thrilled with how it looks and also thought it was a great example of how the Spilt Milk Moms actually live the products we bring to you.
I thought I’d point out some of the products we’ve reviewed that are “live” and kicking in my home:
- Alphabet Print (above crib) by Penny People Designs
- Giant Monkey (on chair) by BlaBla Kids
- Anamalz, Putamayo CDs, Owl by b.delicious (all on wall shelf)
- 3 Sprouts storage bin (in corner)
- The chair, roman blinds, and crib bedding are all handmade with fabric from Nursery Fabrics.com (thanks mum!)
There are a few things in Little Miss’ room which we haven’t written about (yet), and they are…
- The Fisher Price toys – there are three of these (phone, activity center, and “TV”), and two of them are originals that my husband played with as a kid. The TV is a reproduction included in the Fisher Price Vintage line (which apparently has now been discontinued).
- The leather “a” and “z” bookends I picked up in my local Chapters store, and they inspired the colour for the green feature wall.
- The wooden mobile (in Anamalz style) was an incredibly generous gift from one of the owners of my favourite local toy store just shortly after we found out we were pregnant.
- The paint is by Benjamin Moore and is totally original. They literally scanned the leather book ends into a colour spectrum device and then we worked on tweaking it just a little bit. Colour matching is something I’ve done with them numerous times, and they always amaze me with their ability to get it right.
So there you have it – a little peak at Little Miss’ nursery and some of my very favourite products!

Emily is very proud to be one of the Spilt Milk Moms ‘founding mothers’ as well as being Mama to “Little Miss” (who was born in August 2009) and Wifelet to her Husbando. She spent seven years living in London which helped her to develop a keen eye for amazing products from around the world. As an actress and producer, Emily ensured her place in hell with over 3 years in children’s advertising (her job was “to create want where there is no need!”) but looks to undo the damage by finding the best things around for mamas and little ones. Emily is always ready with fresh baking, a silly song, or a glass of chardonnay and is renowned for always being overdressed and having a killer collection of heels that she’s not afraid to wear (even whilst babywearing!). You can also find her on her personal blog Aprons & Heels ~ emily (at) SpiltMilkMoms (dot) com |
