Modern Retro Nursery Inspiration

We were inspired by our new Rock On print design to put together a moodboard for a modern nursery that has a retro twist, just like the print. We have used bold blocks of colour, angular, geometric furniture, and a touch of whimsey. The details are below.

8. Replica Eames Rar Rocker from Matt Blatt
9. Twitter Bird Lamp from Beacon Lighting
10. Kornum Cow Hide rug from Ikea

Custom Prints & Unique Designs

The difference between a house and a home is the unique, personal touches we added. This can be done in many ways, but one of the simplest and most effective is through custom artwork. The My Sweet Prints range has a number of designs that can be customised with the names of your family and loved ones, special dates and other personalised information.

There are many, many other designs that can be personalised just for you in the My Sweet Prints Custom range here. 

Or, perhaps you are redesigning your home and can't find quite the right artwork for your space, but have an idea of what you are after. Well, why not get in touch with us and we can bring your design idea to life in a print that is truly custom. 

That is what Belinda of Nest Design Studio did when she was designing a sweet nursery for a client! She had a wonderful idea for a print and we were able to create it for her. The nursery, with print included, was recently featured in Cosmo Pregnancy magazine too!

So why not consider a custom, or customer designed print for your home and add a personal touch unique to you and your family, by visiting the website!

New Print - Frankly My Dear

Thank you everyone for your lovely congrats comments yesterday re our new house. I'm still over the moon and mentally decorating in any available daydreaming moment :)

Anyway I thought I'd show you a new print which I just launched yesterday. 

I was commissioned to design it and just love it because it's one of my all time favourite movies.

I wanted to give it a vintage poster/ad type of feel and I really enjoyed coming up with the design. I've made a black version and a white version.

 

And don't you find yourself saying it to yourself sometimes eg... when you hear 'Mummy I don't want this for dinner' etc :)

 You can find it in my shop www.MySweetPrints.com.au

and here: http://downthatlittlelane.com.au/my-sweet-prints/product/5272-frankly-my-dear-print

and here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/93484463/frankly-my-dear-print

and here: http://www.madeit.com.au/detail.asp?id=480520

 And I just had to throw in a pic of Rhett and Scarlet - love the black and white stripe dress! 

Ah... they don't make movies like they use to.

Iscd Grad night

Hi!
Last night was the ISCD Graduation and Awards night.
I was a bit freaked out when I saw the stage, lectern, microphone and the few hundred people I would have to get up in front of to present my award but it went well and my part was over quickly.

I felt quite honoured to present along with the likes of Porters Paints, Dulux, Mokum Textiles, Di Lorenzo Tiles and many others.

It was a great night and I have to say that if you have ever considered studying Interior Styling, Colour, Graphic Design or Surface Design then ISCD is the place to go!

I took a few quick pics in the exhibition. It made me want to go study again!

Have a great day, 

Pssssst.... there is a mini SALE on now!

As a way to say Thank You to everyone for their support of My Sweet Prints, and for reaching 800 facebook likers I am holding a mini SALE on selected prints. Only on www.MySweetPrints.com.au and only for a very limited time!

Thanks everyone,

New Print

 

A week or two ago I gave a sneak peek of a new print, I designed one that now hangs in our entrance way. But I've how put them up on my www.MySweetPrints.com.au shop.

Like my Home Sweet Home print, I was inspired by folk art/paper cut art when designing this print.

 There are three lines and you can customise the wording to read whatever you like...

It could be a family print 'The Baker Family'

A new born/child's print 'Jessica 14.06.2011'

Two love birds print 'Janette loves Glen'

or your favourite short saying like 'Love Lives Here' or 'Live Laugh Love'

...basically anything that will fit within the three lines.

  

Here are some more colour options but I'm happy to make custom colours too.

What do you think? Do you like it? 

I think it would make a nice valentine's day gift for next year.

I've just started my Christmas shopping yesterday, have you??
