Tomorrow my dearest friends' youngest daughter, D turns 4, and they are celebrating with a fairy party in our local gardens, I've been around at there house for the afternoon making carmel popcorn in cupcakes wrappers (thanks sarah) and pink chocolate dipped pretzels and shortbread heart shaped biscuits. D is smack bang in the middle of my two boys as far as age goes, and they both play equally well with her, My eldest attends kinder with her on a Tuesday and my youngest and I usually hang with her and her mum on a friday, while the older kids are at school and kinder. My little J often declares his undying love for her, and only her. So Happy 4th Birthday D. A special mention goes out to Leonie from Twiggi for saving the day with overnight delivery of the very pink party ware.
These fairy doors are a magical addition to any little girls life. In the walls of family homes, in tree trunks and under ferns in the garden, Fairies come and go through these magical doors. As fairies are magical creatures, these doors can only be opened by fairies. You may be able to see when a fairy starts using your door as they often leave some fairy dust behind.

US photographer Lauriann Wakefield designed and decorated this nursery for her adopted son Jack. Deciding on a calm and soothing backdrop of light turquoise and soft latte brown, Lauriann's love for vintage style comes thru in her furniture that fills the space with white, adding to the white architraves, skirtings and the door are pained white. Splashes of colour are added thru display toys, bedding and a gorgeous jungle mobile that I am sure Jack spent hours looking up at during his first year of life.
Later in the week I'll post an inspiration board based on Lauriann's nursery so you can recreate this look at home for your nursery.

Welcome to Mini Gaga’s very first “Real Nursery”. The first of many more to come to give you inspiration on great nursery items, savvy DIY ideas and how to pull it all together to create a unique nursery for your baby.
Q. Who lives here?
A. Max, he is almost 5 months old. (Son to Sarah from Style Me Gorgeous, a boutique graphic design studio).
Q. Where were your simply couldn’t have done without purchases?
A. Dwell Studio cot set and Ikea Expedit shelves.
Q. Did you have a DIY project?
A. The DIY is still in progress, I am designing Max a new canvas artwork when I find some spare time, Max’s canvas will kick off a new baby elephant collection for my online shop Style Me Gorgeous.
Q. What do you wish that you brought but didn’t?
A. A good comfortable yet stylish rocking chair.
Q. What can’t you live without as a mother?
A. Sleep bags. I hate the thought of Max wriggling and kicking his way out of his wrap, which he always did, and laying there tangled and uncovered. I can sleep in peace knowing he is tucked in nice and cozy. Plus he knows it’s bed time as soon he is zipped up.
Q. If you had your time again would you do anything different?
A. Hmmmmm. Nope I love Max’s nursery, it’s a happy inviting room and the bright bold colours will allow an easy transition to Max’s little boys room by simply replacing the elephants with something more sophisticated.
