STOKKE love

Most of you know it already...This year I have become a mom of a second little baby boy. I am back at work full-time for two weeks now. As most of the moms around here know it is always a struggle to find the right balance between work and life with kids. Some days it works all fine and other days it is hard.

Trying to make everything as easy as possible we have different little corners around the house where I can put my little boy to sleep, play or just have him with me. When I got my first child I loved the brand Stokke with it's beautiful Tripp Trapp chair and I always knew that would be the chair I wanted at home.

Being pregnant with my second child I discovered some new products of Stokke like the Bounce 'n' Sleep. In the our bedroom we use this great daybed for our little one. Just a little nap at night or when I am busy doing some things. The bouncer fits perfectly in this daybed but mostly I am carrying it around to the studio or elsewhere at home. And Noah loves it as you can see :)

Patka, the designer behind these great bags loves working with natural materials like cotton, silk and leather. She really loves the idea of recycling materials, especially leather.

40m2 open space

A great project by interior designers Kalb Lempereur.

The idea was to open the space by using materials to deal with the transitions between the 'wet' area and the 'dry' area. The dry area is covered with solid wood on the floor, and tiles with the same shape are used in the wet area.

We love this combination!
