where can I get quality children's wallpaper from for my baby girl's bedroom. I can only find very conventional designs and I'm after something special- maybe vintage in design. Any ideas please?

My sister recently decorated her unborn daughters room jus before the birth. She got the paper from Mama's & pappa's. Its white with big 4 inch circles in different shades of pink. The circles are in grid formation and butt up against eachother. The paper is on 1 wall (Feature) and the other 3 walls are a light shade of pink. The wallpaper is very 1960 looking and the room looks very good.

(I had a look but you can't see all the circle colours in this picture)
Check your yellow pages for decorating shops (not B&Q etc) who will have books of designs for you to look at. I got some brilliant wallpaper for my sons rooms from one of the wallpaper books.

thanks so much for all of your ideas. I had been looking at the vintage circus from Cath Kidston and may still go for it but maybe something more girly like the ones you suggested Annie may be in order! Love the american site Dakota but may be too much of a hassle to organise. Not as keen on Mamas and Papas as it's where everyone goes and I like to be different- very pretty though ;-)
I'm enjoying the quandary!

Hi poppy - they also had the anne geddes wallpaper with the kids dressed as bumble bees on a yellow background which is cute if you want something more neutral.

No thanks Annie- I find children dressed as animals a bit sickly in photographs ;-) (though bizarrely in the flesh I find babies in animal outfits very cute).

I would find a wallpaper as well as a paint and I would do the 'feature wall' thing, where all the walls painted except one which would be the feature wall and would attract the eye, usually that is the wall the bed head would be, and that wall would have an exceptionally nice wallpaper. Then on the other walls I would, do other things like photos, mirrors, texture wall charts for the baby to feel, and a height chart. The baby can then interact with these other walls.

yes, what..the- this is what I intend to do. I have found some lovely mirrored letters which spell her name which will go onto one of the painted walls.

Annie- twee is ok- I'm so thrilled to have a little girl (as well as my gorgeous 2 year old boy) I'm going all out. I always said I wouldn't be buying pink etc but I'm revelling in it! How nice to buy little tights and pretty outfis after all the too too trains and dungarees! :-)
