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!

Japanese bunk bed

Do you know that many Japanese bunk beds systems are build from single bed which are stuck one on another? I found this a fantastic idea! How it looks, that's another story, but at least I find the concept very interesting . I saw many different simple Japanese beds, but this one was one of my favorite. It is a E-ko bed system which is very practical but also has such a nice friendly look. So we have a single toddler bed, and then we have an option to make a loft bed out of it, and use the space under it for an desk, or put another bed for a siblings. The E-ko furniture system has a whitewash finish and the orange ladder ( which we can add in both side of the bed- smart!) give the furniture a nice twist and a very children friendly character.

House of Rebecca and Feestrijk

I spotted this charming and warm house of Rebecca, Kees & Siem in March issue of vtwonnen magazine. Feestrijk online shop run by Rebbeca has the same colorful and inviting atmosphere. 

Together with her mother, she collects vintage furniture, accessories and toys at flea markets. She also produces herself some of the hand made products for her store. The room of her son Siem, has a very special selected finds. I really like the mix of modern design and vintage, with a touch of fresh colors of her pillows and plaids. For more special objects just step by her store : Feestrijk

Let's meet A teen bed from Rafa-kids

Many things are going on here at the moment. One of them is that Rafa-kids is growing!

Today is the moment I can finally show you our new A teen bed. 

The idea of the bed was born from getting e-mails from parents, where they told us, that they really like our F&R set of beds, but their second child is too old to enjoy the R toddler bed for long. Today we can finally show you how we fulfill this need. 

Rafa-kids A teen bed fits perfectly under the F bunk bed and makes together an F&A set, for older children. The two beds are in adult size and can be used for many years. The bed is low and gives enough comfort space to sit on the bed, read and just enjoy it during the day. We designed a very compact bed, which doesn't take much space in the room and it can be use also like a daybed or in the guest room, when the child moves out from the house.  We really like the simplicity and elegant lines of this bed. You can see and read more on our website : Rafa-kids . Enjoy! 

Rafa-kids collection - photo session in our new studio is coming in May!  I can't wait. 

New A teen bed is ready for pre-orders and will be available in mid - April.

Decorating a child's bed - part 1

Since the bed is mostly of the time the largest piece of furniture in child's room, I think it's interesting to look for some inspiration how we can decorate it. 

Please tell me, how the bed of your kids looks like during the day.  I would love to know! Are you leaving the sheets on it, or you clean it nicely with pillows and blanket? My boys don't like when I put a blanket on the bed and organize the pillows . They like ( ohh no surprise about that ! ) comfortable mess! but I do like the minimal look of the photo's ;-)  at least I can dream about it ....

Muuto Oto and Rock'n Roll shelf system

This two shelf systems are looking almost the same. They are coming from Scandinavia but from 2 different companies and designers. The first one, is made of heavy-duty paper rolls, stuck to each other with velcro - that's Rock'n roll shelf from ReturnDesign from Sweden. Evadible in a beautiful shop Serendipity where I took this photo from. The second one is from Pil Bredahl designed for the Finnish brand Mutto, and made of fibre glass in white and black.  I really like the concept, it's looking fun and functional. It's a great way to expose nice objects - if we also happen to have a lot of space! ;)

Scandinaviandeco with Rafa-kids beds

Few days ago I got a package from Finland. When I saw this beautiful colorful collage with Rafa-kids beds inside Scandinaviandeco I just couldn't stop smiling all day long. We are so happy and honored to be part of it. I scan for you few pages with great teenager's rooms. I really like the round hanger and simplicity of the girl's room. The dark proposal is for boys, but how simple and timeless this room is. I hope you like them as much as I do. 

Thank you very much Ulla Koskinen for a beautiful article.
