Win latest Rachel Castle bedding in gorgeous slate linen

The new printed and plain slate linen bedding from Castle was designed with the boys in mind but could equally be styled up for girls (little ones or grown-ups)!

Rachel Castle says: “We’re so excited about our new slate 100% linens, such a bedding staple. We wanted to make something that the boys would like too for once, as we are very much known for our love of a floral and a spot!

“So you can make a pretty bed with the floral and spot pillowcases and some soft pastel velvets, or a more masculine bed with the new linen stripes. Give it as much or as little colour as you like.”

As a mother of a teenage boy, Rachel herself struggled with what to put on his bed. “The simplicity of a slate linen — all that texture and crinkly goodness, cause he’s never going to keep it neat — with a black velvet pillowcase and a simple blue stripe, was perfect,” she said. “The slate also happily takes you all through spring to summer, still warm but crisp.”

I have to say readers, my Castle grey linen sheet and quilt cover is some of the nicest I’ve slept in. So soft!

We’re crushing on Mi Casa Su Casa from Feliz Home

We were really happy when we heard Feliz Home had a new collection to share with us!

Co-founder Melissa Alessi says: “We are so proud of the quality we have achieved and the designs we have added to our core range. Feliz’ designs continue to be playful for kids, with a sophistication and simplicity in our designs for teens and adults.

“Layer as much or as little colour and fun as you wish and enjoy knowing that our designs have been drawn by hand, screenprinted by hand and sometimes painted by hand! Not only are the designs new but the family is growing. We have added a bunch of beautiful new products and styles to the range.”

We particularly like the freehand spots of Sprinkle Sprinkle, which comes in charcoal, fluro pink or gold. Fun pillowcases feature text like buenas noches, siesta/fiesta, yeah/nah, happiness and love.

We think the range is fun without feeling too childish or bright and it’s really up to you how much colour and fun you layer up. We also love how you can mix and match many pieces.

After years of working in product development for large companies and not-for-profit organisations, and the birth of their children, Melissa, along with Jane Forbes, decided there was no better time than to join forces and create something that was truly them. With light hearts and industrious hands they decided to create a brand that reflected how they felt: feliz (happy)!

Using organic and sustainably produced fabrics, their designs are lovingly hand screenprinted using water-based inks, in their studios in Geelong and Melbourne, VIC.

Possibly the best hand screenprinted, mix ‘n match pillowcase collection ever!

I Love Linen owner Lauren Roe has launched her own range of designs,  starting with the most fun and fabulous capsule collection of pillowcases.  They’re all limited edition and screenprinted by hand. Even the pom poms are hand dyed!

The advantage of designing your own range is that you can take everything you personally love and bring it to life as products! And I’m sure Lauren will find that many other people love what she loves too. Pom poms, pineapples, chevron and ombre are definitely popular!

The idea to kick off The Bedroom Society with pillowcases (a full range will follow for Spring/Summer full) came because her store, I Love Linen, already stocks many good basic sheets and quilt covers in a variety of colours. “Pillowcases are a great way to change the look of your bedroom without spending a lot of money, and I have seen many of us like to have maybe something a bit more simple for the duvet (like pure linen) and then have a bit of fun with a pillowcase,” she says.

“It’s true I designed the range with a bit of a selfish perspective in that I am addicted to polkadots, chevron, stripes, pom poms and ombre and I wanted to do something fun, so added pineapples (I went for a more sophisticated design) and watermelons (I chose a more graphic print for this one). All the pieces are great in that you can mix and match them too.”

Because the range is still being screenprinted (you know we like to bring you these things hot off the press!) you can only place pre-orders now, with items due to ship on 27 April. The prices are good too, at less than $50 a pair. I wouldn’t hang around if I were you. Look out for a giveaway in our newsletter in the not too distant future.

Pre-order online for delivery after 27 April.

Removable (non-vinyl) wallpaper for renters: proof it exists!

I’ve always loved wallpaper, and even more so since I became immersed in the wonderful world of interiors and realised how much gorgeous stuff is out there in Australia alone.

I have always rented since I’ve been in this country so I always thought, sadly, wallpaper was going to be a no-no with the real estate agents. Until Publisher Textiles told me about their removable wallpaper, that is. And it really is wallpaper proper, not the vinyl kind (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I was intrigued and I had to give it a go, not least because if it was true, I needed to share it with my renting readers!
