We were so happy that we could finally work with the amazing Rafa Kids bunk bed. This elegant, modern and light piece of furniture is great for smaller spaces. To mis match this eye-catcher, we went for a boho look Azilal berber on the by Rozen Kelim and some stunning vintage pieces like the green cabinet, the mini desk and a petit Thonet chair.
To compensate this circus of colors we chose a striking monochrome wall paper from Bien Fait. How fun is it to bring the jungle inside?!

Sleepykins// A Colorful Shared Space for Eva & Elsie

Guest post by Rachel Fox Kipphut.

We have recently moved into a new home, and it was a priority for me to get the girl’s room done first. Eva (age 3) has a love of books, dancing, art, plants, and playing dress up. Eva also happens to have Down Syndrome. She attends pre-school full time as well as dance class. The days can be tiring for her, so she looks forward to coming home to her room to read, play, and more importantly, decompress from her day. It is important to me that Eva has a space in which she could do this but also share the fun with one of her best friends, her sister Elsie (age 2). When designing a room, my first stop is usually Ikea, then Target, and then the thrift store. I like to finish the rooms off with plants and some handmade items from small businesses and artisans. What is special to me about this room, specifically, is that a lot of the decor has been hand crafted by some incredible friends with shops, that I met through Instagram. It was also my first encounter with Babiekins Magazine, which continues to inspire me daily.

In my previous post for Babiekins, I showed you around in our playroom at home.
This time I would love to give you a look into my latest project and give
you some tips & tricks in styling a room- a shared girls’ room in this case.

Now for me a girls room does not mean that you have to use pink! Better yet, I stayed away from it because I wanted to give the space a really fresh look.

Since I work best with a white canvas, I used a skylight white paint for the
walls and gave the floor a similar color. This really enhanced the natural
light that comes into the room.

To keep this fairly narrow space as light as possible, I used airy
furniture. The high beds, the playhouse and the acrylic bookshelves all are
perfect for a room like this. In these cases it is better to try and stay
away from heavy head boards, bulky items and wooly rugs.

But hey, it is a kids room and it should be a fun place for sharing endless
giggles, bedtime stories and lovely long nights. The fun started with the adding of the wall stickers. They are such an easy way to give a room something extra. In this case, we chose to play some vertical twister by adding large colored dots.

Some more color comes down from the ceiling with the gorgeous paper lamps
and with the storage baskets. All linen was kept quite clean, with just some
pops of color in cushions.

In this room it is summer 365 days a year. Fruity and fresh with a hint of
Zoo. Such a fun project, such a happy space.
