Cupcakes, Cupcakes, cupcakes

If there is one thing I bake often, it's cupcakes. Zoe Isobel adores them and they are one of the few baked goods Daan likes as well. The pair of them share the little lashings of dough left in the mixing bowl. Triple bonus is that they're super easy to make. So in tribute; an ode to the humble cupcake.

Inspirational toddler bed

Even before Zoe Isobel's turned toddler and to be honest even before she was born, I have been considering what type of (toddler) bed she will have. I have been undecided between the Crisis bed from Piet Hein Eek, the Finne bed from Warber and more recently the R toddler bed from Rafa Kids.


However when I saw this amazing open playhouse bed from French design studio BonneSoeur(s) I went bananas. For now not a critical-point decision, as we have a while yet to go before she is too big for her baby bed. But I am definitely determined to have the carpenter who made both kid's storage units make a single sized kid's bed like this one. What's more fun than going from your downstairs tented playhouse to this wooden one for sleeping?

Dark side of the moon..via Fab

I have long been addicted to Fab for scooping out the new and cute. So when I was tipped a couple of months back to the EU site where I could actually make purchases, I immediately did so. I eagerly await the new sales each morning at 11 (now via an app so as never to miss out) and check on those to come in the evenings.

There I saw the Spacebot & Spacewalker lamps from Belgium brand Dark. They make me smile, laugh and then smile some more. I totally see the robot sitting in Mika's room next to the reading nook. The astronaut would look great hanging upside down in the dark (ahem, get it) corner of the living room.

The sales continues for another 4 and a half days, so we have to wait and see if my resolve holds to purchase less or at least only that which I truly love.

Resolute

+ strong. I don't really do New Year's resolutions and am obviously too late. But I decided "what the heck". I will always love design, creativity and individuality as that is a huge part of my life; which is what this blog is about. But on the flip side to all the shiny, I am grateful for what and more importantly who I have and do not take that for granted. I try (work in progress) not to get caught up in more, better, faster, more. Knowing and doing humble, grateful and strong... in 2013 & beyond.
