DESIRED! Childhood Games Reinvented in Decor

It seems that in all the aspects of our lives we have the desire to go back to our roots, to reinvent the classics. Vintage is in, we incorporate nature more and more in our lives and homes, we take more care of the old stuff that in the past. With all the stress in our everyday super-tech existence it's pretty natural.

If we feel the need to say stop sometimes and cherish the simple things I think it's our duty to teach our kids the same.

When it comes to kids' rooms I go crazy for themes like "young explorer", "sports superstar", "nature lover", "enchanted forest" and so on, but I've never been a fan of going superhero/Disney princess all the way, from the carpet to the bedding, lampshade and curtains.  I believe we should give them all the chances to discover something else.

Or, at least, I hope you will rediscover your childhood activities below:

TIC-TAC-TOE

It just seems a lot more fun on a wall.

HIDE AND SEEK

I had to spoil it by adding books in this story. :))

JUMPING ROPE

Probably my favourite activity as a kid. What am I saying, I still use it, it's a great cardio. But seriously now, this painting is just beautiful.

THE SPINNING TOP

Don't know where time went, but these became collectibles. They are nice, easy to incorporate decorating items. Simple, but still playfull.

THE HOPSCOTCH

Probably the most versatile idea in this post, especially for floors. I do adore this choice more than the usual ones you find that are ultra- colourful.

TAG

You're it! Oh, you saw that one coming! Anyway, pretty cool for your favourite active little boy.

I will stop now. Thank you for clicking and reading, hope you found something you would desire.

French- Style Kitchen

You probably saw it everywhere by now. It is a big trend and I am actually pretty happy about that. French country style in decorating is not very polished and pretentious, but it catches your eye for sure.

I am thinking about earthy tones, stone, wood, iron, mix and matching natural fibers. When you want to pick some french-themed accents just think about whatever they are best known for: chocolat, Paris, wine, champagne, lavender, Provence, etc.

I love the style for kitchens because is very family-like, is warm and I think that the trend got so big because people get back to their roots and start using the kitchen more. If I see a french style kitchen I know that kitchen is used, is not that super polished, posh, modern kitchen, it makes me think about family, home cooking, wine drinking and flower picking. :) See what I did there?

After you have the basics, don't forget to keep around fresh flowers all the time. You can arrange them, but not too much, in vases, jars or pitchers.

It does have that je ne sais quoi, non?

 

THE BASICS: Stove,  Kitchen,  Fridge, Kitchen table

THE ACCENTS: Dinner Set, Clock, Chair pad, Chest of drawers, Faucet
