Check out this new-to-me website found via Desire to Inspire! It's a company called Rice, with showrooms in Europe, and apparently they are ridiculously inexpensive, bursting with color, filled with fun and whimsy, and...unavailable in the United States.
Oh, well. Still lovely!:
They sell everything from linens, toys, and Christmas decorations to kitchen-ware, bags and jewelry. Wow.
I'm totally loving it. Can't buy it, but totally inspirational. This one's my favorite, because I love the painting and the white walls:
Rock on, Rice, and how 'bout some stores in the U.S.?! Even just a stateside warehouse would be fine--I'll gladly pay a bit of shipping for stuff this cute.
Later, friends...
The site is very lovely. Thanks, you've made my night. Paint and color have been on my mind for redecorating the rooms in my home now for quite a few months. I have been inspired and motivated to not be afraid to venture past the "white" color family in paints. I shall venture into the spectrum.

Ahhh, how adorable! For once, being in the UK pays off! Thanks for posting this site.

Hi Amy,
Love the bright primary colors, I don't know if I could live with them myself, I need a calmer surroundings.
You posted on my blog about a felt bag I made - if you are interested I would love for you to have it. I never did get to putting a lining in.... $40 would be what I would sell it for in a show as it is. I am trying to get all my work onto Etsy as soon as possible -but I thought you might want it, so I am just checking.

Me too. I've seen Rice featured on many other blogs before, and it is SO disappointing that they aren't available to us Americans. :( Sadface!
