diy: box pull toys

Posted on October 19, 2010 by danielle| 3 Comments

I used to love crafting when I was a kid (I still do but I have so little time..). When Kick is a little bit older I will certainly do a lot of crafting with him.! Made by Joel is kids craft blog where you can find lovely projects which you can do with your kids. Joel is a stay-at-home dad and artist and is responsible for entertaining a pair of twins, so he had to come up with some great ideas to keep them busy.

These pull-along toys that Joel designed for online magazine LMNOP, are fun and easy to make. You can find full instructions in the LMNOP issue (no. 12) which is free and you can download it here.

house on the island of tinos, greece

Posted on October 15, 2010 by danielle| 21 Comments

This gorgeous house belongs to Greek interior designer Marilyn Katsaris. Located on the island of Tinos (Greece), it is designed by Greek Zege architects. Located on a mountain in the old residential site of Triandros this vacation home is actually made up of two separate houses which have been brought together through a picturesque veranda.

Respecting the architectural surroundings and capturing the day to day beauty and simplicity, the architects created this private residence as it was meant to be designed for Tinos.

The interior consists of 250sqm living space. The structure is loose, open and characteristically fresh. Throughout the residence there are little touches of historical detailing.

The surroundings and the views outwards are breathtaking. You can look out as far out as your eyes can see.

All bathrooms, with exposed rock formations, have a different color selected from the natural surrounding elements such as blue and sand color.

The exterior architecture coincides with the rules and balance of the typical residential islandic forms. Pigeon whole windows, curved white forms of structure and exposed stone formations are the examples of this typical form of architecture.

hearts

I have a million things to do (to feed a baby among others..) but I have to show you these gorgeous artworks that I just found on Etsy. These original and handmade pictures are created from little hearts. For special occasions you can personalize these artworks, when some of the hearts could be replaced by your required initial(s), date(s) or names. More of Sarah&Bendrix’s work can be found in their Etsy shop.

our nursery

Posted on October 13, 2010 by danielle| 32 Comments

I know that many of you wanted to see Kick’s nursery. I finally managed to take some photos so here it is! The beautiful fabric wall stickers are from Mae. We are loving them! Mae is an Australian company founded by Peta, Bec and Emily. They were brought together by their mutual love of sweet, whimsical designs and the desire to create a working life that complimented their personal lives.

The rocking chair was bought on Marktplaats (= Dutch Craigs List) and the striped rug is from Zara Home. The handmade Egyptian pendant light is from Le Souk, as is the wooden stool.
