Jen’s pick of stylish kids stuff for your home

By Jen Bishop •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

Last week I officially crossed into the third trimester, so I’m finally starting to look at a bit of shopping for baby number two! And I can’t wait to reveal his nursery to you later this week! You won’t be disappointed, just saying! In the meantime, here are some other beautiful things I’ve discovered for the little people in your homes recently.

The Pom in me is absolutely in love with Pottery Barn Kids’ new collab with Liberty London. Now, I’ve made no secret of the fact I’m delighted to be having another son and that I have only ever seen boys in my future BUT, if anything is going to make you want a little lady, it’s this!

Liberty Accent Dresser, $1299.

Does it get anymore more classic or pretty?!

Update your Anywhere Chair in Liberty florals from $90
Get double duty out of this reversible quilt cover

While we’re talking all things pretty, let me introduce you to the best-looking kid’s booster seat you’ve likely ever seen: The Upsy! Designed by two Australian sister-in-laws and mums, this good-looking, wipe-clean booster knocks the socks of the garish hard plastic iterations we’re more used to seeing!

It’s the recreation of a 1960s design and the creators hope it’s more sweet keepsake than hand me down or destined-for-landfill plastic.

They can suit 18 months to eight-year-olds and won’t ruin the look of your kitchen or dining room! They also come in handy as a step!

The general guide is, if your child is confident enough to sit upright and independently and with no need of support (or strapping in!) then they can use an Upsy. It’s designed not to be a child’s safety item, rather a useful little boost. The handmade Upsys have a solid timber frame and plastic backing. They are upholstered in TPU-coated cotton, are BPA and PVC free, non-toxic and waterproof. And they even come with a cute carry bag. $130 each. Buy online.

When I asked my insta followers to share any great kid’s finds, someone led me to Rudie Nudie Designs’ waterproof playmats ($64.95), perfect for some nappy-free tummy time. Available in two designs.

This Numero 74 gold  futon playmat isn’t waterproof but it sure looks nice! It’s $145 from Talo Interiors.

Now if there’s one item that’s out a lot when you have a baby it’s the activity gym. And they don’t get better looking than this Emily and Merritt one from Pottery Barn Kids. Currently on sale for $77.40. Add to cart immediately! It has gold, navy and stripes. Of course I’m going to love it!

Covering off all this season’s trendiest colours, this very unisex Rainbows linen pillowcase ($50) from Pipsqueak Home would brighten up a plain quilt. We love a bit of mix and match for kids!

I have this rattan bassinet from Byron Bay Hanging Chairs on order for my new little man, who’ll probably stay in our bedroom for the first few months, like Sebastian did. I’ve had my eye on it forever! $499.

The much loved, affordable, global bestseller IKEA Antilop highchair now comes in powder blue and baby pink which is rather nice! And still under $20! So it’s not the most amazing looking product in this roundup, but it’s easy to clean (apparently you can fit the seat in most dishwashers!), easy to disassemble, safe and, well, totally inoffensive looking!

Sebastian and I have been a fan of Emondo Kids’ bamboo dinnerware for some time but it never hurts to share a goodie again, plus they’ve improved the quality of their product further this year. I love this Aussie owned small business with its cool Australiana. They make great gifts too.

Thanks to the reader who tipped me off about Dino Raw. Loving their illustrated art hangers and bed linen, especially this A3 In The Jungle Dinosaur Name Chart ($44).

I’ve got wallpaper from Milton & King in the new nursery and I love all their kids designs. Check them out for yourself.

I’d love to know what great kids finds you’re loving?

I've been meaning to post about getting out of hos I've been meaning to post about getting out of hospital in time for Christmas and spending a magical time with my beautiful family and friends for days now, but I was staying in the moment and off my phone. My wish came true and it really was amazing to enjoy that Santa magic.

Sadly, the day after Boxing Day, I ended up back in an ambulance after an internal bleed where my hemoglobin levels dropped dangerously low. I'm not very good at explaining the medical side, but after surgery and a couple of nights in ICU, I'm now on a ward and recovering well, hoping I get to return home ASAP.

I have so many thank yous to say for the incredible GoFundMe donations and kindness and support I've received. I really am blown away and so grateful. There are so many good people in the world, both strangers and those I'm lucky enough to know.

And having now received 6 bags of blood transfusion myself, another huge shout out to all donors. I felt so good to know I've done my bit donating over the years when I received someone else's life saving donation. Please consider doing the same and potentially saving a life.

Before ending up back in hospital, I was settling in well at home with daily visits from nurses and I'm hoping I can get back to that new normal again soon. 

Thank you again to everyone for their kindness. And biggest thanks to @damianfrancis for truly spoiling me at Christmas and once again holding the fort at home. Our boys are so lucky to have you ❤️
Edit: the winner of this giveaway is @wholehearted Edit: the winner of this giveaway is @wholeheartedstudio Congratulations Hayley!

To thank you all for your beautiful messages of support after sharing my very vulnerable big news the other day, I've teamed up with the talented @katenixon_official to give one follower the chance to win this stunning prize worth almost $600.

It includes:

Ines 3-Piece Marble Bathroom Set (soap dispenser, tumbler and tray) worth $169

Lola Marble Tray, worth $89

Sawar Scalloped Bowl, worth $109

They're all part of NOMAD by KATE NIXON, the Sydney interior designer's considered new curation of beautiful, storied objects for the home.

For your chance of winning, please follow @interiorsaddict and @katenixon_official, tell us the name of the collection and tag 2 friends by midnight Sydney time on Sunday 14 December 2025. Winner will be chosen at random and announced here.

Trigger warning: cancer. Home is SO important to Trigger warning: cancer.

Home is SO important to me, I even made a job out of talking about it. And having been stuck in hospital for 5 weeks, away from my sanctuary and my boys, I've never craved it more. 

I'm going through the hardest time of my life and I'm finally sharing it here in the way I hope you've always known me to; with authenticity, realness and hope.

I've been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It's devastating and life-changing news and feels very vulnerable to share. Sadly it's causing me so much physical pain, I can't manage it at home. Being stuck in hospital, on top of keeping this secret, has been very isolating. 

Our precious boys are our number one priority and we are being very well supported by our medical team and amazing friends and family. I can't say enough about the huge role my husband is playing in keeping us together.

I've continued to work when possible because I love it and it's a big part of my identity. I want as much normalcy, distraction and positivity as possible right now. Some days I put my lipstick on and face the day with gratitude for all the good stuff, like my world class friends and amazing healthcare. But I'm only human and other days, I just can't.

Despite the gravity of the situation, I only have to look at my boys to know I cannot give up hope. 

Thanks for all the love and support I know you'll throw my way but please respect my boundaries by not asking medical questions or making medical suggestions, and know that I won't be able to reply to everyone. 

This beautiful community has supported me for over a decade and I'm sure your kindness will help me no end. And if you want to support me, keep reading the blog so my work isn't wasted!

I'll still be the main point of contact for Interiors Addict but things will look a little different as I continue my chemo (3 rounds down) and get used to my new way of life. 

Right now, my only wish is to be discharged to my family for Christmas. 

Because I can no longer give blood, if anyone would like to make a festive donation of blood or plasma on my behalf and share it with me here, that would really make my day ❤️

PS. Nurses are worth their weight in gold.
This modular home was built in 6 weeks and install This modular home was built in 6 weeks and installed in just 4 days and can even be added to later if its family outgrow it. It's @mill.built's first prefabricated modular home – a breakthrough in speed, performance and affordability. And it sits in the Yarra Valley's net zero carbon estate, @liveatthecape , which is Australia's first.

This once 90s kitchen is now reflective of the Mid This once 90s kitchen is now reflective of the Mid Century home it's the heart of, and its stylish owners who love vintage glass and other Marketplace finds.

Head to the blog via link in bio to see more of this transformation by @howardlanedesigns Designer Tamiko Gleeson says: "I love that the kitchen now truly serves Peter and Trish – functionally and aesthetically. While every finish is new, there’s a bold sense of nostalgia and confidence in the selections. I love the Jamaican Walnut joinery with its subtle peek of Botanical Green, and the vertical timber slats in the sliding doors and wall-hung bar.

“I love the checkered tiles on the splashback and the way they add a playful rhythm to the space. But what I love most is how the design shines even brighter when layered with their Facebook Marketplace finds."

    Gathre mats!! I have various change mats for use out and about and at home. Also very useful for some unclothed tummy time.
    The tablecloth is also great to cover my white linen one for family dinners as well as the play mat which I am saving for my sons 1st birthday and the midi size mat for picnics or beach days. Obviously I am slightly obsessed ?
