Wall Decals

I just fell in love with (a lot) these wall decals and wallpapers. Especially the door trompe l'oeil. Am now considering covering my whole apartment in them. Ok maybe not, but the more I see the more I want to find that perfect spot for the awesome impact that comes with these.


 This is how taxidermy should be done! In pink that is.




Lacking a balcony or a garden the above will have to do. How dainty!



This kind of makes me want to cuddle up to it.





Too many white doors in the loft? Here's a fixer that will take two minutes.


 Home is where the bed (or cushions) are.





In winter these wallpapers will make you smile, in summer they will remind you of what's outside waiting for you.



How much will my husband love me if I put this in his office?


For these and many (many) more awesome designs visit the Couture Deco Website.

Scavenger Hunt

If you know me somewhat you would probably know that I absolutely adore surprises. It should come as no surprise then that scavenger hunts are very high on my list of favorite things to do. The whimsy, the suspense and the competitiveness pretty much some me up as a person.

I came across this book on a mom blog and my attention was immediately grabbed. What a fun idea. I look forward to my daughter growing up and actually going to look for all these big and small treasures around our vast neighborhood.










This book can be purchased here, at the MOMA store, at the greenlight bookstore or on Amazon.

On a very closely related note, one of my wonderful mommy friends has started a Scavenger Hunt business which cater to parties of all sizes and ages. Find her here and start the hunt!

Happy scavenging to all!

Kees your Iphone

Kees is a Netherlands based company that uses 3D technology to create Iphone cases. The awesome thing about it is that you can customize your own case. Chose from about 34 basic designs then add illustrations. Once the design is decided you can chose the material (rubber, velvet, fur..) and if you want writing on the sides. Et voila! The 3D scanner builds your Kees ('case' in the Netherlands) layer by layer.



I might have to go buy an Iphone (yes I'm probably the only one left without one) just so I can make my own Kees!
