For the birds

There have been a rare few days of nice weather so far. Not much, but enough to get me going in my postage stamp sized garden. While fantasizing about new and sparkly things, mostly as motivation to pull up the weeds and get rid of all the moss of which my patch of grass seems solely to consist, my thoughts turned to the birds... birdhouses and feeders to be exact.

Rings & things

Just a short post to showcase this triple threat ring combo. I mean how frigging funky cool is it, to be able to make it a hot pink hand grenade, a royal blue bomb or an electric yellow tank day. Aptly named the evil series. There is also a posh gems set.

Zookeeper

It seems I am busy, busy busy with turning each space into a project. Despite them being fine to begin with. Ach, variety is the spice of life. First to get this treatment was the hall. Here is a little zoom-in on part of the refresh (as I call it my head); additional coat hooks for the kids... from the Zoo.

Mika's Room

There was a little sneak peek of Mika's bedroom door. This is the rest of the room. Small, cozy and perfectly functional as being soo tight we had a few bits custom made.

 

  

The paint on the wall behind the bed reaches across the ceiling from which there are five individual pendants that face upward because of the silver bit. Very indirect and nothing too jarring. Some, but not the complete list of contents; Walnut bed from Warber, the changing table slash multiplex bench is from a local carpenter and the chest of drawers is the Nyvoll from Ikea. The roller blind is from Allumette and the bench cushion is from Kussens. The mobile is from The Butter Flying and the frames are from XL Boom.

The apple cushion is from Oeuf NYC, the planes and hearts one is from Bubynoa and the musical squirrel (bed) and sweet cushion are form Annabel Kern.The elephant which is decorative but also for sitting is an Eames via Big Brands. The hangbags from Gewoon, I love so much they are also in Zoe Isobel's room and the playroom and are via Daily Design. The print is from The Love Shop.

And the best bit... My gorgeous little Mika Dylan Jagger Arts!

Design Inspiration by YOY

Everyday I find something amazingly designed, amazingly beautiful or amazingly 'grappig' (funny cute). When I saw a picture for the blow wall shelf I knew I had found all three in one. So of course I had to check out what else the Japanese design duo of YOY have created. I love all their stuff. A definite one for the wish list. But first I have to find an online shop that sells their stuff and has EU shipping.

1.a Canvas with a drawing of a chair, which can be used by leaning against a wall. 2. Blow wall shelf takes inspiration from a pile of sheet paper being blown in the wind. 3. Extend is a bookend on which books can be placed in the air as an extension.
