Let's Play with Monsters

How does the room of 6 years old look like? My son Robert, who is this age dreams about a 'BIG  BOYS' bed, as he still sleeps in his R toddler bed. He shares a room with his brother, so putting 2 F bunk beds in this space, is simply impossible. We are still in a hunt for a bigger house to make his dreams come true. 

He likes to spend time to draw, to make little notes to us, as he started to learn writing and reading, which is very fascinating! Of course he loves to Play. What about drums?  Or pillow fight, especially when they are so cool in the shape of Monsters…he is very active and he is everywhere. 

In our studio he found his perfect spot under the F bunk bed, where we put the B bench. Do you like it? We designed this bench, to fit between the ladders, and are so happy to see how great it is working  'in action'.  The space under the F bunk bed looks now so defined and different. 

And we made a MOVIE!  

We are absolutely hooked to this new tool, and hope you will like it as much as Rafa do. 

Please watch…it is so much Fun. Don’t forget to turn the music on. 

Special Thanks:

Rafa L shelf in Louis' Nursery

I’m so exited to show you today a beautiful nursery room. I hope you remember my blog post : Eastons nursery with Rafa kids L shelf, where I was sharing for the first time, a baby room decorated with Rafa-kids design. 

Well, today we have another project worth a look!  Angela, inspiring mom, living in Adelaide, South Australia, created this stunning space for her little boy Louis.  He is almost 17 months. As Angela calls this room  “ Scandi Nursery “ we know for sure where from she took her inspiration. I honestly have never seen so many cool wooden toys in one room!   I’m very pleased to see, that more and more parens are conscious to pick sustainable, long lasting toys, for they children. I know how difficult it could be, to say no to colourful, plastic kids world.  As you can see, it is possible…. 

with a special thank you to our Australian partner Inmyhood store. 

Magic Grey - Emsloo

Do you still follow many blogs ? I have only few very favourite ones. From time to time I discover a new blog and just dive into it. It happened to me with Blog - Emsloo. A magic countryside house in Sweden, with two kids playing around and talented mom capturing their every day life.This calm atmosphere is what I need from time to time, especially now actually in this hectic period. Many of you are probably also busy with festive season’s preparations so I will not take a lot of your precious time….

Cosy winter with Rafa-kids

Few weeks ago I was dancing from happiness in our Rafa-kids studio. We received a special delivery of NEW bench samples in all 4 different wood finishes. It was such an exciting moment!  Not only because we could see for the first time all the colours and how the benches look like, but there was also time for new pictures. 

White B bench was the first one. I imagined a cosy room, with Rafa-kids A teen bed, B bench and L shelf styled with beautiful textures of wool, felt and linen….Colours I like the most at the moment and which are so perfect for Winter season are : Blue, Grey and White. As our L shelf has a metal rod to hang favourite garments, I realised I needed some  beautiful pieces to display for the photo session. Happily we have in Rotterdam the great kids store BonBononTheBlock, where you can always find the coolest, trendy clothes.  Thank you! 

I’m so glad we managed to capture this calm, cosy mood. Just looking at it makes me so relaxed and I can simply take it all to our home for boys. The white furniture, walls and floor give such a great base for a room and to create your own individual world. I hope you also like this wonderful Grizzly carpet and baskets, which are all hand made made in Nepal, and part of Rafa-kids collection from now on. 

Stay warm….!

Let’s start the weekend in dreamy , cosy and sleepy mood….

Don’t you think that Clouds, Moon and the Raindrops are such perfect elements to decorate child’s room ?  I recently discovered, that the Danish brand Fabelab known for beautiful high quality textile products, have created in collaboration with Chispum from Spain, dreamy wall stickers. Clouds with raindrops in blue and pink. They are made with the special watercolour print designed by Anna Thomsen from Trekant Design. What do you think about the simple decoration of Moon and stars by CamCam brand from Copenhagen ? Or just a large raindrops catered from paper and hang next to the child’s bed? I’m so glad to see such a simple, calm products for the little ones. …

Thank you for the inspiration :  Fabelab - CamCam and BigImaginationDesign

Lotta Agaton for H&M home kids

It doesn’t happened often that well known interior stylist is creating images for children’s products. Or I don’t know about it, since the names of the stylists are most of the time not even mentioned in the production photos. When I discovered that one of my all time favourite Swedish Interior Stylist Lotta Agoton, made sets for the new H&M kids home collection I just wanted to show it to you. Lotta works for world know companies like String or Bolia, and create work for advertising agencies and newspapers both in Sweden and internationally. Her work is very inspiring and always up front with trends in my opinion. 

This time we see her images created for “ Halloween “ kids party and decorated with textiles from Swedish giant H&M .  All the products are very bold and in simple three colours - black&grey and pink. Rugs, beddings and plenty of storage option - baskets in different sizes and colours. I really like the image with two girls , chilling in their beds.  A lovely mess and a “real” feel of how the children’s rooms normally look like….

Happy weekend!
