Out and About

Remember my first post about Friday’s ‘Out and About’ ? Each Friday we would like to go and discover some new places and recharge our batteries and get inspired. Today I would like to show you our last outing.  We went to Amsterdam, to see the fourth edition of pop up event called : The Loft. This event is created by interior design agency, with passion for design in the field of furniture, arts, accessories and curiosa. Everything in the space is curated with an eye for the smallest details. 

Directly from a busy street in the heart of Amsterdam we climbed the 3floor of the building to Enter The Loft. I wasn’t sure where to look! From the beautiful windows with views I could stare for hours - big garden behind the Amsterdam’s canal houses and on the other  site historical brickwork of Bijnekorf , the most prestigious warehouse of the city….then there was the loft. It belongs to  ‘Miss Bare’ as each pop up interior is dedicated to  an imaginary person. This time it was a divorced women, her kids lived already independent ( this we had chance to know during our visit). We really like the serene atmosphere and reach textures of all the minimalistic objects. My favourite was the contras between the dark, sleek kitchen with marble top, put next to the ‘imperfect’ and relax table set with chairs. The pictures above the kitchen made it very monumental, but the rustic and romantic table - softened the whole.  Living in one open floor plan with kids is not an option I think, but maybe one day we could move in such a relaxed and free space. I really would not mind.

Easton's Nursery with Rafa-kids L shelf

Don’t you just adore this beautiful Easton's nursery room ? Minimalistic, modern and cosy at the same time. This wallpaper is so adorable! Belinda from Topknotmum, did such a wonderful work for her son. It’s good to see, that if it comes to a first baby space, we don’t need too many elements, to create serene nursery room. I know, it is so tempting to spend too much money, when we expect a child and would like all the best possible, but accully we really don’t need that much. And believe me, each year, many toys and accessories will pop in into this room,  even if we don’t want to…. Let’s start it as simple as possible, what do you think ?

I’m also so glad to show you for the first time, that Rafa-kids furniture can be used for a nursery room, and grow with the child. The L shelf can be used above commode for more practical reason, or like in Easton's nursery, to give a special place for all the favourite and special first belongings of a baby. When Easton will grow, his mom can just simply change all the elements and give the L shelf totally different look…and Easton will be probably soon hanging his own clothes there to.

Remember my post about “ Marsala colour trend in children’s rooms “ ? 
Well, it’s looking like we will see more of it in 2017.  I just got in my post-box news from Danish brand Luckyboysunday and ohhh yes! Their new Cuddles and pillows are touched by a splash of Marsala. Do you like it? I think the combination with pink is my favourite, it looks so sophisticated and modern. I adore work of LuckyBoysSunday for ages.  Their products have this weird look, a bit of edgy but fun. You just can’t pass by, becouse it is good to be different , right ?

Need for a change

Welcome in New Year! I hope you’ve had a great start of 2017. 

I am still very much in the mood of planing, dreaming and taking some important decisions for this year. It is one of my favourite times of the year, when it feels like a new start and a 12 months seems like long, open time to fulfil….well , at least that’s what I hope for.

It is winter for many of us, and we are still waiting for some snowy days out here. At the same time we are all about summer vibes and new collections showing up here and there. Today I’m bringing you a bit of sun from Nepal and beautiful products made by Muskhane. We are so glad to cary at Rafa-kids some of their soft colourfu pillows and the Grizzly carpet is our customers favourite at the moment. We will bring you even more beauty and inspiration this year. I promise. This is just a start!
