Can you read out what we are talking about? 

Yes, CROCHET!

Especially a puff in kid’s rooms is useful and looks so great!
The brighter the colours the better - we love them all.

…crochet is lovely as an entire cushions but also just as a detail....

…or as a rug…

…maybe as something decorative to hang on your wall…

 

You can fashion so many different products in different colors, shapes & yarns...

 

there are items to play with
in a crafty 
yet modern feel

   

...and the most useful item of all times - a blanket....

Those lovely blankets remind me of the ones my mother in law made for my children. 
She made one for each child - 4 in total. Some are still in use after all these years and all will be treasured for years to come....





Tree houses for kids

The summer is ahead of us - slowly the temperature is rising and with that the opportunity for out door play! My children love their summers in Sweden. 

A few years ago their grandfather ("morfar" he is called in Sweden - mothers father) built them a tree house. It took a whole summer to build but it will last their entire childhood. 

Its in the far back of the garden - surrounded by trees and next to a wood.

It is just a little bit too high for parents with small children to be comfortable but awesome for older children to hide away. Its a "no adult" place. They have a pulley with a basket where we adults can send messages or snacks up to the top.

Its a space for rainy and sunny days, a place for adventures and collecting lots of memories.

We have found some lovely tree houses we like to share with you.
Looking at them makes me just wish I could have one for myself..........

 

And if not, there is always the option to build a tree house into your kid’s room.

black & white kid's rooms

What makes us think about kid’s rooms when looking at this photo? 
Yes, we think black & white!

We love the boldness of a graphic room!
Not a usual choice but "oh so right!"
 

Adding a wall with black board colour is such a great idea. The children can get creative again and again - endless artworks be drawn!

" 

Black & White works for nurseries, for tweenis and for teenagers...
...not to forget us "oldies"
It just blends in rather nicely!
 

...any colour added will just pop out...(if you like)

However you style it – rest assured, it won't look boring!

neon accents

What is life without color? 

And what's summer without neon color? Right - it doesn't work!

Neon makes our summer just a bit happier and brighter!

So - why not using some neon in your children's rooms?

...not much of it is needed - it’s stylish and makes the room shine just a little more.... 

Here in combination with a dark coloured wall (our favourite of the season), bright (neon) colors work their magic.

and from the kids room to yours....! 

Start your summer with a flash of neon 

Neon – just cool
