Wow, I don’t even know where to start with this room, I’m still in the process of picking my jaw up off the floor. This beautiful room was a labour of love for Evelyn and her husband. The awesome mural (covering three walls!) is topped off with thrifted furniture and some beautiful hand made accessories. It looks like a wonderful place to sleep and play for Evelyn’s newborn daughter, Casandra.

Skulls on kids clothing, babies in particular, seems to divide parents. Some, like myself, love the punky look, others, like my sister in law, wouldn’t dream of dressing their kids like that.

If you’re like me and love skulls and pirates, this is the round up for you!

All prices, unless otherwise stated, are in Aussie dollars.

1. Fitted bamboo nappy from BananaBottoms USD$20.95 -  I hunted all over Australia to find a skull nappy or cover that wasn’t a custom and was actually in stock, and couldn’t find one anywhere. This super cute fitted nappy has a girly twist on it with hearts and flowers.
2. Skull and crossbones wetbag from LittleHipsters $17.99 – Great for swimming or storing wet nappies, it comes in two sizes.
3. Skull baby bib from My Wooby And Me USD$6.99 – Awesome Alexander Henry print on the front and backed with white chenille, as it’s made to order you can also request whether you want a snap or velcro as the closure.
4. Skull canvas shoes from FrockYou $49.95 – Proving that sensible shoes don’t have to be boring, these funky slip ons have sole support and a super soft terry lining.
5. Toddler skull and crossbone skirt from Lunalei currently on sale for $15 – Perfect for autumn weather over a pair of leggings and some mary janes, this skirt is also available in aqua.
6. Green strip and skull legwarmers from Bubbaboom $16 – I found these were awesome when the boys were younger, great for potty training to save any delays pulling trousers down, and also excellent for protecting knees when Connor crawls on the carpet.

1. Skull bloomers from LilSpunk $15 – great for wearing under skirts when your babe is crawling around and sticking her bum into the air the skull print is also a bit more subtle than other ones.
2. Pirate growth chart from LandLubbers USD$45 – Living in rentals I have come to love wall decals, it means I can give a room a new look without totally breaking the bank, this decal would look awesome in my youngest’s pirate theme room.
3. Girly punk slide clips from The Button Boutique $5.50 – I love these pink and girly bows with the added punky touch of the skulls, they look awesome, and yet subtle enough that my mother in law wouldn’t roll her eyes at me.
4. Bad boys rock babygrow from Lunalei $29 – we all know it’s true! This babygrow also comes in a “Bad Girls Rock” option as well.
5. Flower and skull blanket from Minky Baby Blanket USD$25 – super cute combination with the bright pink dot minky and the Robert Kaufman skulls print.
6. Skull booties from Funky Monsters $16 – made to order so you can chose your size and choice of lining, love the print used in these and they’d be great for lazing round the house.

Where do you stand on skull themed clothing? Is it not for you, or is your entire kids wardrobe covered in pirates and sugar skulls?

Jennifer Perkins (Of CraftLab and Naughty secretary fame) has created the most wonderful nursery for her daughter Tallulah. Jennifer based the transformation of her spare room turned walk in wardrobe soley on a Japanese cotton print, which later became a window dressing.

She’s done a great job of blending thrifted furniture with new pieces from Ikea, and I love the use of re-purposed lockers, the bright colours and how gender neutral the space is.
