EllieBeanPrints - Review & Giveaway

I wrote recently about wanting to upgrade E's nursery to a big girl bedroom. I noticed that EllieBeanPrints had tweeted looking for bloggers to work with so I thought it would be great to get a nice piece for her wall.


EllieBeanPrints do a range of prints for many occasions such as weddings, births, teachers and so much more. Although there is a Nursery collection, I didn't want anything too babyish and I wanted it to grow with her and have a print that would suit her room for quite a while. I had a nosey through some of the Quotes collection and as soon as I spotted the 'Fierce Print' which displays famous Shakespeare quote "and though she be but little, she is fierce", I had to choose that one. 

It's a quote that I really love and the black and pink colours would match the decor that I already have for her room. I received the A4 (11.7" x 8.3") print on standard satin lustre paper. It does come unframed but once I found myself an A4 frame and was ready to hang it.

It looks absolutely beautiful on the wall and it's quickly become one of my favourite pieces of decor in E's room. The A4 print costs £13 but you can get the same in lots of different sizes, ranging from greeting card (£4.00) to A4 with a frame and mounted for £38.00. 

You can find out more about the print collections at the EllieBeanPrints website or you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Transforming E's Nursery to a Big Girl Room

E is very quickly approaching two years old and judging by her funny little character and how much she talks, she definitely isn't a baby any more (as much as I hate to admit it). First bedrooms, when you're preparing for baby to arrive tend to be just that - babyish. Now that I have a toddler, I need a more grown up room for her.

Of course I have bits in her current room that I could keep like her gorgeous little framed picture from Pink Rabbit Designs on Instagram. It's pink and glittery - of course that can stay in!

If you follow my blog or social media accounts, you'll know that I like entering the odd competition. I was lucky enough to win some bits that I'm saving to put in her room when it's done up. I won a gorgeous pink, floral teepee from Vobe which I was wanting to put in the corner as a reading nook. I think if I had some pink and cream scatter cushions on the floor inside it would be really cosy. Another win that I had was a voucher for a wall sticker company called Koko Kids. Obviously, I stuck with pink and chose floral woodland designs.

When it comes to the bigger items, Room to Grow have some gorgeous children's furniture bits. Our house currently looks like a library and there are books everywhere you turn. The Parisot Alice bookcase is the cutest kids bookcase that I have ever seen and I think it matches the picture in my head of what I want E's room to look like. On further inspection, and as I want everything matching, I noticed that the Parisot Alice range also includes a 3 drawer chest, bedside table, desk, dressing table, bed and wardrobe. I want it all! I think she'll end up having a better bedroom than me!

I tend to mostly stick to online stores - just because it's easier! - but Next's bedroom range always draws me in. They have a beautiful Vintage Ditsy Print bedding set and matching curtains which would match the wall stickers I have perfectly.


Finally, I have some little bits that I feel would just finish the room off. The bow holder was another competition win from xlilbowpeepx on Instagram. E may be only 21 ones but she has about 300 bows so I definitely need tons of storage for them. The name bunting was also a little win from Sweetpea Craft Cottage and the Shakespeare quote is one of my favourites. 

I'm so excited to get to work on E's big girl room (through tears of course, as I come to terms with the fact that my baby is no more!). I think she'll love it! Then I'll have to get to work on C's!
