minimal memories

while packing for a big house move I have been finding little details that I love about this place and little things that bring back great memories:

++ life stopped here at the last summer++

++ #fromwhereistand ++

++ electrical conduit balustrade by my husband- perfect diy ++

Rafa Kids

I have no idea how come it took me so long to get this post ready but here it is: 

I wanted to share my love to one of the finest designers of kids furniture Rafa Kids. 

This creative couple use their experience as architects and parents to design unique range of kids beds. Collection includes toddler and teenage beds and wonderful combinations suitable for sharing in the room.

+ + +

Simplicity of the design is brilliant and its northern feel appeals to me highly.

+ + +

Now you Rafa beds are available at Bodie and Fou.

But check Rafa Kids shop first and meet this fantastic family.

Love the new whitewash finish!

inspired by this post by decor8 

I have tried a little DIY with simple candles and a spray paint,

remember to keep the distance while holding candle to avoid drips,

I think this will work in any colour

black & white life

I just spent week at home with my poorly boy. Such a long time for three year old without going out! It can really make you go crazy. So apart from watching Cars and Ice Age ten times a day, we were also drawing, painting, cutting and in general making as much mess as possible.

+ + + +

Me and Samuel are now obsessed with clouds. All started from Mr Jack Black and leftover white balloons. We dressed ceiling in Sam's room with clouds and since then I'm making clouds on my graphics. 

also: something old and something new ended up on the shelves in our dining: this minimalistic cast iron vessel by Tom Dixon and super heavy vintage mince meat machine I found in the basement. Such a contrast between two things made from similar materials.

Samuel acted as an independent judge and drew out two names from the blue jar:

DIY project: stair handrail

This was not the simplest of the tasks and my husband spent long time trying to figure out the connections and chasing  the ancient pipe clamp tool, but as we have been so excited about the idea it was all worth it!

+ + +

+
+
+

So here it is - just installed stair balustrade made of electrical conduit.

Industrial and edgy looking, flexible  enough to follow peculiar arrangement of bespoke timber stair.





+ + + + +

the dinosaur you need to bend the pipes

+
+

+ + + 

+

 we all had a go...

+ + +
+

+

+

It looks like a fun loving sculpture wrapped around our walls.

+ + +

We are really pleased with our tailored made creation.
+ + +
+
+

+ + +

I love the rough look of it, what you think?
