Winter vibe with Scotch-Soda

Are you almost ready for the festive break and celebrations…?  Honestly, I’m not ….That’s why we decided to take a little trip, look for an adventure, nature and hopefully snow!  This Winter’s Look book of Scotch-Soda with the Nomad vibe fits perfectly into my current mood.  Cold winter atmosphere, and kids in clothes full of reach textures and patterns - trademark of this Dutch fashion brand. They already promote new collections and I really don’t understand how the children’s fashion brands can launch their Spring/Summer collections in December/ January…we are in the winter mood, right ? 

so let’s keep warm , go out and enjoy it! 

Modern family home in Warsaw

We love to discover homes of Rafa-kids customers! This time we would like to show you a wonderful family in Warsaw. Please meet Ignacy and his parents Marysia, and Mateusz. He is a lawyer and she is a specialist in new media, 16 years together and a happy parents of 2 years old Ignacy. Marysia and Mateusz are lovers of minimalism, architecture and traveling. Their kitchen, dining room and living room form an open space, which bustles with family life and laugh of their son. As you can see their favourite colours are white, grey and they appreciate classic design and light. Together with Ignacy they like to build, assemble, paint and draw. Cardboard is now a favourite material to invent various family games. 

Child’s room is also simple and minimal. Wooden floor warms the interior as well as the book collection and toys. Favourite Ignacy toys are : wooden vehicles, wooden figures of animals and red wooden car parking.  Rafa-kids R toddler bed in white fits perfectly into this modern space and is covered with planty of soft toys.  What a wonderful sleeping corner for a little boy…. 

If you would like to see more picture from Marysia, Mateusz and Ignacy home please step by Ladnebebe blog. There is also a nice article for our Polish readers. 

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….

Monday inspiration - storage baskets in children’s rooms

Toys, blocks, clothes, hats, you know what I would like to talk about…. They are all-around our children’s rooms. But there is hope! We can find something simple and stylish at the same time. Here they are, baskets which will store all your things simple and clean. I have a real weakness for them and I unfortunately use them in every corner of our home (upsssss ) corridor, bathroom, children’s room and bedroom. As I believe that you cannot have enough of storage baskets, right?  They not only help to organise but are a treat to look at too. On the market you can find so many different ones and made from variety of materials fitting your home style. 

Few of my favourite brands offer baskets ; Bloomingville , Olliella, Tellkiddo or FermLiving.   

And with the festive season and more toys coming on the way….

I’m afraid we will need even more of them.

Sloane’s modern room

Today I would like to invite you to discover a little girl’s room in Utah, US. Her name is Sloane and she turned 4 few months ago. Her mom’s name is Becky Kimball , happy mama of tree, lifestyle photographer and an occasional blogger. As you can see , she has an aye for a sleek modern furniture designs. Rafa-kids F bunk bed took a central role in the space with very cool accessories and smaller furniture around.  A perfect contemporary clean look of a child’a space! We really like the contrasting green rug, different textures and colours together. If you have a smaller room and limited space a loft bed will create an extra space underneath to play. We are so happy to see this little brave girl climbing her new bed and taking the adventure to sleep so high. That’s so cool, isn’t it? 

We are glad to see this modern room featured in the Littlepeanutmagazine winter issue. 

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….!
