With the cold weather looming it's that time of year to get all homely and get ready for hibernating indoors. The idea of refreshing the home and redecorating is always a fun way to approach the winter months, especially when it comes to kids bedrooms. Check out Style Guru, Sonia Murton's article from 'The Guide' (a local guide from my home town) for some tips and advice. We're loving these mushroom wall vinyl's from Dotmaison a great tool for some imaginative play!

It is a very exciting week here at Elsie Dodds as we have just been nominated for the 'Elle Decoartion British Design awards 2010' and are thrilled to be in the category of 'Best British pattern 2010'. The public will be voting for their favourite designer. So if you love the Elsie Dodds Alphabet cushions be part of the fun and place your vote on the the british design awards website! Thank you!

It is the last week of the International Festival here in Edinburgh, so a last chance to see some of the great things that have been taking place this month. It was great to find the Elsie Dodds Alphabet cushions had been featured in the last issue of 'The List' the best guide to all that is happening in Edinburgh and Glasgow!
