For me one of the most lovely things about Christmas time is the twinkly lights. Lights on Christmas trees, lights on houses, street-scapes and shopfronts. In Europe and North America the dark winter nights make this tradition a festive spectacular, but balmy late evening strolls Down Under still allow for a little happy Christmas tree spotting.

There is nothing quite like beautiful lights to get you in the mood for Christmas and the perfect lighting can really lift the feel of a room. Children’s rooms can be a playroom, refuge, castle or pirate ship and finding the right decor that is both practical and beautiful can sometimes be a little difficult.

Fortunately for us Miss Tati & Friends – www.misstatiandfriends.com – have a gorgeous (and exclusive: Misss Tati imports these from the US and you won’t find these anywhere else in Australia) collection of Chandeliers and Table Lamps that are perfect if  you are in the mood for surprising your little one with mini room makeover for  Christmas morning.

Even more perfect is that Miss Tati is offering us a 20% discount on all in-stock lighting* including chandeliers and lamps until 20 December 2009. Enter code ‘KSFLIGHT’ at checkout to receive 20% off. *Only available on all items marked ‘Quickship’, not available on custom orders.

Designed and made in the USA to Australian standards, the Miss Tati range is hand crafted and painted and heirloom quality. The chandeliers and lighting are designed to make the transition from nursery right through to big room and definitely deliver the wow factor.

It is hard to pick a favourite but the Humpty Dumpty Chandelier is just so cute: their little striped trousers and green shoes are adorable. This piece works equally well for boys or girls so would be perfect if you are busy decorating the nursery and waiting for D-day (delivery day!) for your surprise.

As a lover of classic pieces, I also have to mention Miss Tati’s, Mimi Chandelier that is adorned with matching teardrop shaped crystal and tiny rosebuds, and the Stella which is enhanced with pink and clear teardrop shaped crystal and clear crystal flowers. Both of these wouldn’t look out of place in the Master Bedroom so perhaps Santa’s list might just get a little longer!

Miss Tati also have a great selection of lighting for boys including Pirate Lamps, Jungle Themes and Racing Cars and Cowboy Chandeliers.

Head over to Miss Tati now, and add a little light to your Christmas.

Discounted prices quoted below are valid with code (read above) until 20 December 2009 only.

1. Humpty Dumpty Classic Chandelier $550
2. Green Mimi $228, $182
3. Flying Cherubs $680
4. Pink Stella $375, $300

Ok, I agree Santa is going to find it a little tricky getting some of these beauties down the chimney, but I am sure there is a will there is a way, right? With a pre-Christmas sale of 20% off all kids furniture in stock at Miss Tati and Friends – www.misstatiandfriends.com, it couldn’t be a better time than to redecorate!

Miss Tati (pronounced ‘Tutty‘) and Friends is home to the most gorgeous hand painted beds, bookcases and a whole range of co-ordinating room items for children, and now is the time to fill their room with furniture they’ll treasure forever.

For a one stop shop you can co-ordinate lighting with some of their divine lamps and chandeliers, and there is also a fine collection of soft furnishings and accessories to complete the look.

For budding surfers you can create their very own beach shack with the Surf’s Up range or if your household is full of girls you can head straight for the Miss Tati Provence or Miss Lily collections instead.

Miss Tati has also just returned from the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas and it is no surprise to us that they were a huge hit! The Miss Tati furniture ranges will be available in the United States from January 2010 at some of America’s most prestigious childrens stores.  The new Floriana collection will be launched there and several items for this brand new range have already almost sold out before even arriving!!

Whether you’re preparing for a new baby or changing your baby’s nursery into a ‘big kid’s room’, it can be really difficult to find furniture that you – and they – like.

After all, furniture is a big investment at any time, and with children it’s important to find pieces that will grow with them.  To this end I’ve rounded up some of my favourite brands and lines available in Australia, all items which look fantastic and are designed to last for the long haul.

If you want something to jazz up the kids’ rooms but can’t afford to splash out too much, bean bags are jut the thing.  They’re relatively inexpensive, plus you can get them in a huge range of stunning designs – see Cocoon Couture and Missi Missi for some ideas – and kids absolutely adore them.

It’s also worth mentioning that Metro Mum currently have 10% off their large and extremely stylish furniture range, and that the furniture prices shown on their site includes shipping.  Enter ‘FUR609′ at checkout to get the 10% discount.

If you’re after something with a real ‘wow’ factor, head to Miss Tati & Friends as you’re bound to find it there!  Whether you’re shopping for a budding pirate, surfer or princess, there’s something there which is bound to make you ooh and aah.

With my second child due in less than two months, I’ve been getting into nesting mode and preparing the nursery.  I think I have most of it sorted, but the one aspect that had really left me stumped was the lighting – until now.

You see, Kaddie at Miss Tati & Friends – www.misstatiandfriends.com.au – has been carefully choosing and stocking the most extraordinary selection of quirky, whimsical chandeliers for children’s rooms, and the resulting range gives me a wonderful choice!

In fact, the children’s lighting has been especially popular in recent times at Miss Tati & Friends: it has filled a big gap in the market here, providing parents and children alike with signature pieces to really create the ‘wow’ factor in your decor!

Imported from the USA, these hand-crafted chandeliers really do put the finishing touch on any child’s room.  Whether you think your munchkin is more inclined towards cowboy boots or Cinderella, flip flops or flying cherubs, you’ll have plenty to choose from.  There are even traditional crystal chandeliers if that’s what would suit your decor best.

Most of the chandeliers are available in five arm or three arm, so you can choose which size would suit your room better.  These stunning pieces will definitely set the scene for your nursery as a child’s wonderland.

No matter what you are in the mood for, there is a bib out there to suit. They are also a great gift for new Mums or 1 year old birthdays!

If you’re looking for a way to jazz up your kid’s bedroom, then you can do no better than to go straight to Miss Tati & Friends – www.misstatiandfriends.com – to check out their amazing ranges of furniture, decor and bedding.

I’ve never seen anything like the Miss Tati & Friends ranges; they’re just spectacular!  I’m having a hard time choosing which I like best, but since I’m looking to upgrade my 1.5 year old boy’s nursery to a ‘big boy’s room’ I’m going to focus on what I really want for him – the ‘Surf’s Up’ range.

Please don’t think Surf’s Up is just for boys though, ohhhhh no no no.  If pink frills aren’t right for your little dudette, how could you resist giving her a special surfie room of her own?

With the colour and vibrancy of the detailed designs, these pieces will go right from nursery (there’s even a cot/toddler bed and a change tray as part of the range!) to the coolest teenager’s room on the street.

The range isn’t just eye-poppingly fab to look it, it’s also really well thought out with a choice of pieces to fit into every kid’s room. The totally awesome longboard bed, the ‘beach shack’ bookcase, two styles and three sizes of chests of drawers, bedside table, toy box and, as mentioned, the cot/toddler bed and change tray make it easy for you to decide what will work best in your kid’s room.

Just to make your life even easier, there’s a great range of hand-painted artwork to tie in with the furniture – you can pick from Beware Sharks, Monster Waves, Wipeout, Surfer Girl and Beach Baby, to name but a few.

Now here’s the best bit: Kaddie at Miss Tati & Friends had such a fantastic response to her last offer to KSF readers that she’s decided to give us another bit of the cherry. This time she’s giving us 20% off the entire Surf’s Up range of furniture and artwork! YayayayayaYAY!!

Enter ’stylefile’ at checkout until 30 March 2009. It’s only a week, so get cracking!

PS You can even use the code on the surfie-hip Ju Ju Be Tiki Toffee Nappy Bag, and the adorable Blue HawaiiWild Hibiscus Bib. Now, let’s hit those waves!

You can see the entire Surf’s Up collection of furniture here, and the Surf’s Up artwork here. Have fun and don’t forget to enter ’stylefile’ at checkout!

Miss Tati & Friends also stock a great range of other themed ranges of furniture and decor, including Oriental Princess, Captain Cutthroat, Provence, Lil’ Buccaneer and Miss Lily.

WOW! – it’s the first word that comes into my head; I have just been blown away some of the amazing things I have found at Miss Tati & Friends – www.misstatiandfriends.com.au.

Miss Tati & Friends is a unique Australian online shop that creates and sells the most incredible painted furniture and accessories.

I can only imagine how excited my boys would be if they had a real-life Buccaneer Bed to sail away on to an afternoon of adventure. Any Pirate worth his salt would adore a treasure chest of their own to stash their gold and silver.

In the girls ranges, I was immediately drawn to the Oriental Princess range. The restful blue and creamy trim is accentuated by soft pinks, purples and greens created a very pretty range of furniture that is a nice twist on the Princess theme.

If you also love a little bling hanging from your ceiling, then you too will be charmed by the collection at Miss Tati.
