Room for a boy

My never ending project is my sons room. We have bougt the colour and built the shelfs but then our energy ended and nothing more has been done. So, hopefully I will get started soon again to finish what will be Axels own space (even if he thinks the whole house is his to sprinke toys all over). The base will be white and pale aqua with accents in bold colours. My nex DIY will be to make posters for the walls and hopefully Axel will help me. Or maybe I paint some tires and turn them into a table. To be continued...

Playing with design

My friends often tease me for being a designfreak and they think I´m nuts when I´m searching all over the world for nice childrens stuff. But why should Axel play with ugly plastic toys just because they are easier to get ahold of? So I put some effort into finding odd, nicelooking, playful toys and gadgets, or making my own, for my little one.

Childrens room

We have a two year old son, Axel. When we moved in to our house a year ago he got his "own" room. This room has been a caos in style since then and we are now trying to make it look as nice as possible. Here are some of the pictures I have for inspiration. We want to make it as fun as possible but trying to keep things simple and stylish at the same time. I´ll let you know how it goes...

An apple a day

This poster is made by Elisabeth Dunker, Fine little day. She is a very talented illustrator, designer, photographer etc. doing quirky, sweet and funny things. This apple makes me happy and I will get it for my son and maybe he will start eating more fruit...

I am just on my way to paint a blackboard wall in my sons room. Hopefully it will look as good as the pictures above.

Why did not our books through childhood have illustrations like this?
