Rafa-kids F bunk bed whitewash

We keep making pictures of our Rafa-kids new whitewash beds! 

We would like to refresh all our website and inspire you with new look. We are starting with a calm and simple images, but it will be more colors coming soon! This time we focused on F bunk bed in whitewash version. 

Our 6 years old son was having some fun too, and we didn't have to persuade him at all to be part of the photos. The whitewash F bunk bed is such a playful element in a child's room, and you have plenty of possibilities to arrange the space!  

Getting green - Hello Monday!

The sun is shinning and our garden is finally all green! 
When I look at this beautiful Danish duvet set I think it fits so perfect to this season. So fresh and beautiful. Don't you think ? In the grass children can find many beautiful friends: birds, ladybugs, butterflies, snails and strawberries and much more! Let's invite nature to children's room too ! ;- ) 

I wish you great start of the week.
 Stay with me , I'm just preparing a new pictures of our F bunk bed to show you!

Welcome to the world of real Dutch children's rooms! Since a long time I haven't seen anything so inspiring!  Dutch magazine 101woonideeen, organized an event on instagram called #101kinderkamer, asking people to put a pictures of their children's rooms. The magazine chose the most inspiring ones, and will publish them in September's issue of the magazine. I'm a happy winner too ! When I started to watch the other rooms, I just love them so much and have to show it to you. So many different ideas, from very colorful rooms, with amazing wallpapers, textiles, to a very dry grey rooms and also white one with a bit of green, which is my favourite. I think they have so much love and care inside. I'm not surprise that researchers say the Dutch children are the happiest ;-)  

Which room is your favourite ? 

All the pictures are credited to their owners, under each photo. Thank you for all the inspiration!

Rafa-kids whitewash R toddler bed

We are totally in love with Rafa-kids new whitewash beds! When we assembled R toddler bed very recently in our studio we just couldn't wait to make a few new pictures. Our 2,5 year old son Robert fits so perfectly in it. Of course he started to jump on it immediately and then lie for few seconds to let us make few photos. You can see how helpful the elevated sides on the beds are. He grabs them so naturally to stand on the bed. We feel that this white base is working very well with any additional colors in child's room. It is so clean and calm. The white stain brings a beautiful neutral white tone to the bed. 

I hope you like them as much as we do! 

Bonbon on the block ❤ Dads

BonBon on the block is a Kid's Concept Store, run by Marieke and Lenny in Rotterdam. Few days ago they presented their brand new campaign BonBon on the block loves dads - and I think its amazing!  After 3 years of running the shop the ladies were hungry for some change and searched for a way to show their collection.  Six homes, six dads who were portrayed by photographer Jan Bill. The kids were dressed by her stylish fathers, using all the clothes and accessories collection from BonBon on the block. The images are just wonderfully playful and natural, made with a great sense of humor an stylish atmosphere.  BonBon on the block is a shop with a great eye for trends and I think they just brought their shop into the next level! Well done!  

Enjoy the great look book of BonBon on the block ❤ Dads

Imaginary Cabinets

These cute cabinets make me want design new things for Rafa-kids collection ;-) 

" … When we would approach our environment with our imagination we would find an unlimited amount of new possibilities. To illustrate this I unleashed my imagination upon stereotypical cabinet.  (…) Normally when we see a cabinet we define it as such. We know what it is and what it is for. this makes us blind for all the potential and beauty of the object itself. "  photos by Sam van Grinsev via : atelier mats. 

I wish you a great week - end ! 

Hello July - True Blue from Saša Antić

Hello new month July ! Bring us some blue sky please….

When my 6 years old son saw our first photo-session photos, he said they are too gray! Since the favorite color of both of my sons is blue I would like to make new photos with this color! I know, I know, blue for boys, so boring !I came across an amazing True blue board on pinterest of Swedish stylist  - Saša Antić, and I selected few of my favorites. Its amazing how different blue tones we can have….I really like the light blue, water, transparent and the dark ones, indigo tones, so close to black. You can actually create all different moods and feelings with it, depending of the tone and texture. Have you ever realized that two pictures put next to each other 'speak' better than just one?  

What is your color mood right now?

Bodie and Fou - inspiring concept store

I have to admit it was not love at first sight when I discovered the Bodie and Fou elegant and chic e-shop few years ago. Step by step, I was watching the big passion and commitment of founder Karine Kong and felt involved and inspired by her way of working. Karine , has not only a great taste and eye for good, well designed products. She adopts them in her home and studio. Together with her brother photographer, Francois Kong, she is bringing ideas for styling the products with her very own style and touch. The real magic happens when we can see the personal taste behind the shop and want desperately to change our own home for better place to live. I think Karine is doing this in a beautiful way. Thank you for that! 

You can see new catalogue here : Bodie and Fou.
