place - Couleur Locale in Knokke

Last weekend we made a little trip to Belgium. 

One of the reason was the curiosity how the Couleur Locale store in Knokke looks like and how  Rafa-kids' bed feels out there . I met Ruth, the founder of the store during a photo sesion at our studio for  Happy Lights some time ago, remember this post  Happy lights kids E-catalogue ? 

 We were so surprised to see our A teen bed standing in a front window! and then discover this charming store. What a great mix of modern design, special objects from travel journeys of Ruth and her partner, and then also a bit of products for kids. The happy lights lamps give the store such a colorful vibe and positive energy! 

The street was so busy and packed that we escaped to the  beach pretty fast, 

which is just around the corner,  with the best ice cream ever for our kids.

ferm living - weekdaycarnival - emmasdesign

I got so exited when I saw that Rikka from Weekdaycarnival & Emma from Emmasdesign 

were asked by Ferm Living company to make pictures with products from their new collection. 

Rikka is living in Helsinki, Emma in Stockolm and Ferm Living is based in Copenhagen! Why they would like to mix all of this? Well, because the two ladies are one of the leading design bloggers .  I'm such a big fan of Rikka style and her blog is on my list forever…it was really a wow effect when I saw those pictures, and don't know why it took me so long to show it here. What I like most about them? Of course the geometric , minimal style, but at the same time very playful look. I'm sure they had such a fun making it! 

Ferm Living even made whole new catalogue with the inspiring pictures the ladies made… Enjoy!

new bed sheets for F&R set in Rafa-kids collection

Do you know that mattresses and bed sheets sizes differ almost per country? 

I did not really pay attention to it for a long time but since Rafa-kids' beds travel to many destinations, I was confronted with a demand for it . So here we go, let's make parents' life a bit easer. We selected basic bed sheets and added them to Rafa-kids' bedding - blankets selection. I actually really like to put many mattresses above each other, and make a nice reading /plying corner for kids. Of course it was difficult not to select many colors, but I think you can easy add color with a nice bedding, pillows, and the bed sheets can stay a calm and basic.

magnetic dino wallpaper

At home I have a HUGE dino fan. He is 3 and already has bedding in dino pattern, T-shirts, trousers and of course small and big dinos all around the house to play with. He is even saying , that he is a dino himself (making a very cool noise too! ) …so you can imagine, why I have to show you THIS dinos wallpaper today!  New spring/summer collection from Sian Zeng’s  is a wonderful journey to a tropical land of mischievous Dinos with his magnetic wallpaper. The photos of Jon Day are so great and together with fresh and playful styling from Charlotte Love this is all just perfect.

my favorite from new catalogue HK living

I'm getting into spring feeling, which means I would like to change things at home, clean , paint the walls and just refresh our space. The living room needs some serious changes! 

When I've seen the new HK living catalogue last week, I was very much inspired by the simple and minimal look. This Dutch brand is running since 2009, but most of the time their life style, was much more colorful and full of textures, this one is a bit 'cold' and its really appealing to me. I would love to hang this big ball in our living room! To hide and to read some magazines, and I think boys would get crazy about it too. New, big picture on the wall, is really needed here! I always liked the HK living hooks, I'm so surprise we didn't get them yet. I think we definitely need something new for our hall way. And the last small things, Lab Lamps - in different colors, especially black with yellow, look nice, when putted together. 

What is your favorite item from the new HK catalogue?

OH LA LA

Today we are mixing big neon dots with stripes 

 just because according to Anne Hubert normal is boring!

Quirky, funny and full of energy is the world of French brand La Cerise sur le Gateau. I had the chance to see the new Spring/Summer 2014 collection, called Oh LA LA at the SHOWUP Amsterdam, beginning of February. It was difficult to miss this colorful stand with so many pillows, bedding and storage boxes. Together with Laurette ( other French company having children's furniture)  they introduced into their collection butterfly chair's in different patterns. Classic shape with a funny and playful textile, which I think can be a great addition of color in a child's room.

yellow in H&M Home SS14

It looks like the yellow color in the interior accessories will stay with us in 2014.

 I just came across the new H&M collection for Spring/Summer and I can see that they are proposing plenty of affordable products in this color this year. I personally really like the black & white stripes, together with yellow, which makes this a very graphic and fresh combination. Yellow color with many tones of gray, linen , wool are also very nice idea. The H&M bedding collection with dots, has it's charm too, available in yellow, blue and black and white. We will stay definitely with the cool tigers for my boys room!
