Extensive back office for studious ...

by
Answer

There you will have noticed that back in full swing, and for those most concerned, homework time has already sounded ...

Since there was a large child before the Lord, I am always full of affection for the first desks of our children, those on which they will learn their tables and poems.

Is it because I have always been an unfortunate tendency to spread myself, and my workspace always seems too narrow cluttered with useless trinkets and small papers ? I would in any case, at the age of reason, loved doing my homework on the Office Caspar home Perludi .

I often can not resist the charm of raw wood, and when he joins a simple and elegant design, I melt completely!
Large, robust and very practical with its wide open locker, the office is also very smart, since it can grow with the child, and even losing in modulating the feet - that are reminiscent, version big size, of pencils.

Decidedly, childhood is a delightful country - even when school gets involved!

I do not teach you anything by saying that the decoration of the rooms of children on the rise, and that brands compete inventiveness and talent to offer us much furniture and accessories as fun and practical, specially designed to please our little ones and more to their ancestors .

To leave a bit of thematic certainly charming, but a bit overused, princesses, jungle animals and other pirates, you can count on the German brand Standby Niermann , who offers us with his lamp Jumbo daydream a little above the dry land.

This fun suspension to round forms and naive smile reminds me of an unlikely cross between the plane of my childhood Fisher Price (in their thirties will understand me) and Boumbo automotive (-bile-bile). Original, but not excessive, it will bring its touch of poetry to all aspiring pilots!

Something new in the field of adhesive ... I know, this is typically the kind of hackneyed phrase by dint of being repeated, which is more respect for the ultimate decorative accessory of the moment *. (You have not guessed? Go down quickly at the bottom of this post for the answer Connaire)

Although I'm not, far from it, amateur of the genre, however I do not balk at recognizing a smart idea and interesting ... this is the case with two new models very nice:

a hopscotch adhesive to spend despite the rain

Notice to the souls of children - which is not lulled by the comforting nostalgia of primary school ...? - Here is a real find, the sticker hopscotch, simple, elegant, discreet, because devoid of frills inevitable that the trend turns more and more likely to overload ...

Its floral arabesques give it a little side Laura Ashley very much in the cocooning trend of the moment. Composed of four triangular panels that can be associated with the center of the room, it is also very stylish as ornamental corner, why not in a kitchen or under the umbrella of the entrance.

dinquiétudes more ....

most concern ...

A real bargain, anyway, that this carpet, Pierre Richard for all budding or in the flesh: it cleans with sponge, resists scratches as the blows of heels, and not likely to become a nursery to dust.

* The answer is: the adhesive vinyls, more commonly known under the term Anglo-Saxon stickers. Etymological brief aside, note also that the noun adhesive is from the Latin adherare: be firmly attached to something, and that the verb to be stick from a proto-Indo-European term referring to what is left permanently in place ... interesting nuance, is it not?

High chairs for children: the daring class

by
Answer
les enfants ne sont pas négligés par les designers, pour preuve, la nouvelle génération de chaises hautes aussi fonctionnelles qu'esthétiques

children are not ignored by designers, for proof, the new generation of high chairs as functional and aesthetic

Young parents - they will know - do good things with good taste and your small, choose chairs worthy of the name that offers them to enjoy their meals in an ideal setting.
I have a very mild taste for plastic high chairs that make me the effect of a Transforming crossed with a backhoe. They are true behemoths who often somewhat noisy, and more unlikely to take place, and can use consistently the worst possible with kitchens and living rooms of their owners.
Since the design is a massive entry into the childhood world, it would be churlish not to recognize models as reassuring as delightful, varied as well, which can suit any mood or almost ...
Australians Mozzee have even imagined a veritable nest to the key deliciously seventies. This highchair to adjustable legs inspired bar stools can adapt the size of the chair so that your little one to join all occasions. And since our time is up to enhance the protection and pampering of our darlings, its head is rounded furiously in the air. As for safety, everything has been planned for comfort without fear: full stability, adjustable harness and safeguard.
It has unpleasant with high chairs is that they are strictly necessary while having a useful life rather limited ... small components tend to do more too taste the comfort of a seat where they feel cramped when approaching 2 years .... and the advantage with this chair all curvy, is that it converts into the child seat from 36 months of age, until the entrance of your small primary school ... ingenious, is right?
Same principle with the more traditional models and formidably refined carpenters German Sirch . They developed two models - one with foot spider , with the other foot tulip - very sober fully adaptable for all ages: each element can be removed over the months, and their minimalist let children sit directly at the table, at the lending of their favorite foods.
And for all bikers and their offspring, the creators of Bloom devised a delicious UFO : a high chair that is also a lounger and a chair, but a certain investment that will last from birth to 6 years ... or more. With its curves make it look like a happy reunion of the seat space and dentist's chair, it is probably to date the most functional and most fashionable market.
