"shades of blue mood board"Using different shades of the same colour can look quite striking in a kids room or any room.  Some colours work better than others and I think blue is one of the best because it has so many different shades.  So for today’s pinterest colour palette I gathered a range of different tones of blue which I think work equally well for a boy or a girls space.

Happy toys…

April 23, 2013

"handcarved wooden toys"I recently came across these ‘Happy Toys’ and I wanted to share.  The toys are made by a Dutch design duo called Usuals and are carved from spare wood found on their family farm.  I’m a big fan of wooden toys and these are probably some of the most natural ones I’ve ever seen.   I love the little details they’ve put on each one without using anything but natural wood.  Very creative and very cool! 

Wooden toy boats to wow!

"wooden toy boat"

I can’t believe I’m getting so excited about a boat… yes a boat!  But when you see these boats you’ll know exactly why.  They’re truly beautiful toys that have been made with such precision and attention to detail.  These wooden toy boats are actually ships (I just like the word boat!) that are scaled down versions of real ships.  They’re the creation of  a design consultancy called Postler Ferguson made for a small toy company called Papa Foxtrot.  I love the soft blue colour, I love that you put them together yourself and best of all I just love how stunning they look.  I first came across them at Flora & Henri which is a lovely kids store based in Seattle.  There’s a lot more to be said about Flora & Henri but I’ll save that for another day.  For today, I just want to stare at these utterly beautiful toys.  You can check them out and buy at Papa Foxtrot.
