If you like the idea of a nautical-themed nursery with a twist, then here are a few little accessories to get you started, thanks to the lovely Long Story Co. By 'twist', we mean avoiding the usual navy, white and red route and throwing a few more unusual - but equally beautiful - colours into the mix. Take the Sail Boat Cushion above, for example. Yep, navy is still there, but doesn't it look chic (and a little more unisex) when combined with mustard and soft peach? Each cushion is silk-screen printed by hand using non-toxic, water-based inks on to a lovely cotton/linen base and filled with soft polyester fibre toy stuffing. The reverse is printed all over with the same scallop wave pattern as on the front of the cushion. It is available now at a very special price of £10.50 - but hurry, something tells us it won't be around for long! You may remember our feature on Long Story Co.'s Samuel Sailor toy cushion (£15) last year - well here he is again, and we have to say, he's the perfect companion (or should we say skipper) for the sail boat cushion! And we couldn't mention him here without showing you his brand new and very gorgeous colour combination of smart yellow and grey: 
Aside of the cushions, Long Story Co. have also created some fabulous prints for the wall that will complement the cushions just perfectly. Firstly, there are these lovely Sail Boat Prints (30 x 40cm, currently on offer at an amazing price of £6.75 each!), available in two colourways and digitally printed on to high quality, recycled paper: 
And then there's this brand new 'B is for Boat' Print (also 30 x 40cm, £13.50), which is digitally printed on the same high quality, recycled paper and is smart and eye-catching, not to mention a little bit educational: 
So much to choose from, but worry not - whatever you choose, (and whether you go for the cushions, the prints or both), rest assured you're buying something really special that is, in Long Story Co.'s words, 'lovingly produced and printed in the UK' and will add a touch of playful, retro charm to your child's bedroom. Simply beautiful.
