When I was pregnant with my first baby decorating

When I was pregnant with my first baby decorating the nursery felt like such an essential part of the arrival of my baby. ⠀⠀
All of a sudden that little space became the most important room of the house. I knew I would spend hours and hours in there. As I couldn’t find an artwork that stole my heart, so I decided to make it myself. ⠀⠀
My son is almost 5 now and my babygirl isn’t a baby anymore, she is about to turn 3. But I’ve made it my mission to support moms in making the most magicaI spaces and I truly enjoy making these personalised artworks. ⠀⠀
If you also wish to have a unique artwork you can contact me through my website or simply send me a DM.

Aren’t you completely in love with this picture

Aren’t you completely in love with this picture by the talented @gisellebergstrm? I felt so grateful and happy when she send this picture to me. Her account is just amazing! Go check her out if you don’t already do. If you’d like this art poster as well for your girl’s room, there are still a few available in this size.

Thankful

Sometimes we are touched in ways and by things that seem small and meaningless at the moment but afterswards they prove to be great blessings. ⠀⠀
For those who aren’t following her beautiful account: I’d like you to meet Manon. @thelifetraveler ⠀⠀
When I gratuated from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, I was struggling to find a job as an aspiring fashion stylist. I’d been working in a high-end shoe store for over half a year and I had send out my portfolio to a dozen of fashion magazines. Manon was the first to respond and invited me to the editor’s office. She gave me my first styling assignment. ⠀⠀
She said: I wish this for you, you deserve it. Not only did I not expect to be granted a freelance job, but the kindness in which she did was such an inspirational moment.
⠀⠀
Over the years I had lost track of Manon and a few years ago I looked her up online only to find out that she and her husband had moved to Kenya to adopt a young boy called Micah. She wrote about the extremely challenging adoption proces for a magazine and I was just blown away with all that she and her husband had gone through to be togheter with their son. ⠀⠀
It moved me to tears as I had just become a mother myself. The way she wrote about the calling of her mother’s heart was one of the most beautiful things I had ever read. And it was just what I needed in that moment.
⠀⠀
Dear Manon, thank you for your kindness and for being such an inspiration of motherhood.

When Madelon asked me if I could adjust the color of Robin Rabbit’s blue playsuit to match her daughter’s bedroom I wasn’t too sure if it would work, but boy how happy am I that I did. ⠀⠀
Now I’m even thinking about a whole collection for neutral kid’s room. What do you think, would you like to see me making a neutral collection?
⠀⠀
Thank you @madelonmeijer for this stunning picture.

LITTLE TILE TEACHINGS
⠀⠀
I am happy to share my best 9 of 2019 with you. While composing these tiny square little rascals I discovered a little something.
The photos you’ve appreciated the most, are the photos of the drawing process, which makes me pretty excited (and anxious) as drawing and painting the artworks is what I enjoy and fear the most. It’s such an intimate process between the pencil, the paper and the paints and myself. I guess that’s why my brain prefers to share the finished product. It’s to hide the flaws and mess-ups which I am able to adjust in Photoshop after I’ve finished painting.
⠀⠀
So thank you for these insights and your support since I’ve started this online journey. I am extremely excited about 2020 as I’ve almost finished a new collection. Can’t wait to show it! ⠀⠀
Uhm, why did this post sounded like a New Year’s resolution???

Forever friends. Such a pleasure seeing little Bob

Forever friends. Such a pleasure seeing little Bobbi taking his job as a new guardian very serious in this beautiful nursery.

Thank you for this amazing picture @romyvleeuwen

BUY LESS CHOOSE WELL. Invest in something you will cherish for a lifetime.

Hey, it’s me again, popping up in your feed! I’d love to share this personalized birthposter I made a short while ago for a beautiful babyboy joining our pretty planet. Sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge fitting the name into the sash in a natural way so it will suit the composition (let alone three names) but I think it worked out well. I always try to imagine the bunny writing the names himself, call me crazy but it helps.

Sometimes I wish I could take a peek and see the face of this little boy looking at his guardian bunny Bobbi. I feel incredibly humble that I can create such a piece so his parents can utterly enjoy those precious moments with him.
