Retro kids bedrooms...

I love collecting retro artwork and imagery for my kids bedrooms... here's a taste...

 In Clemmie's room... a poster from The Hambledon shop...
a wall organizer from byGraziela... (and of course a bit of Miffy)
In Benjy's  room...


 Owl wallpaper from Ferm Living and a monster I (pretty shabbily!) made out of some old tartan fabric.
 ...and another poster from The Hambledon shop;
And in Toby's room...
 Numbers and letter wall workboards from Isak.
 A 1960s Japanese painting I found for next to nothing on eBay...
 ...some wooden play cards from a 1950s 'picture lotto' game...
and some Vintage DC comics postcards.

Roger Duvoisin

Ok, so it's been a while but the summer has now well and truly left without leaving a note so it's back to it and I'm going to try to add to this weekly, yes, weekly from now on. Anyhoo, this week I'm celebrating the retro-charm of the work of Swiss-born American writer and illustrator Roger Duvoisin (1904-1980) - I've recently picked up a few of his books and they're all rather splendid, although my favourite has to be the gorgeously titled 'Hector Penguin'. Enjoy...
