Although I admire new technologies and human inventions, I am a nature enthusiast deep down in my heart. I like the look, the touch and the smell of natural materials, the softness and cosiness they bring into home. I try to surround with wood and stone, with wool and felt and sometimes I risk to get a plant. However it usually do not end happily as plants don't like my company and they very often decide to leave :-( But wooden furniture I have, fortunately accept me.

If you like wood like I do, you may find interesting new collection of BM NATURE, producing exclusive furniture from solid wood and with use of natural veneers. COMBINO collection is addressed to the clients who value high quality and natural beauty of real wood.

I have already mentioned at Housology.com how to lure birds into your garden and how to satisfy their needs with Eva Solo bird feeders and accessories. At this time of the year it is even more appropriate and needed. Of course you don't have to use the bird feeders of this particular brand. There are many beautiful and clever products for birds at the market. And you can always make your own DIY bird feeder, if you wish.

However, if you don't have space for such a detail or you can't have it for any other reason, there is another way to invite birds to your living space. Available for everyone. At every season. Fiu Fiu pegs by Agnieszka Dybowska.

When I was a child I often listened and read (after I had learned to read) “Grimm's Fairy Tales” and “Fairy Tales” by Hans Christian Andersen. “Grimm's Fairy Tales” based on German folk tales are mostly cruel and scary (and not suitable for small children, despite the title). Hans Christian Andersen “Fairy Tales” are not as brutal, although they are quite sad and gloomy. I can barely remember the plots of most of these stories but I remember the atmosphere very clearly. I did liked this shiver on my spine...and I don't find my psyche damaged now :-)

The transposition of fairy tales motifs to the products for children is nothing new. But the concept of using a tale theme to create the furniture for adults is original. And very effective.

Who doesn't like people with fantasy? I do. A lot.

Danish designer Frederic Colette, not only has fantasy but he also doesn't hesitate to use it to create wonderful furniture for children (and to grow fantastic mustache for himself). With a Ph.D. in civil engineering his designs combine stability, durability and safety with visual appeal. What's more, he consults his projects with the target group before production.
