Babyroom Robertinho - Room decoration

Hi everyone,

Yes, so many projects at once! But I don't complain, I feel completly excited to accomplish everything in every single detail.... well, this one was a bit crazy... couple of days before our move to Brazil I was still painting some characters for the wall picture!!!

The theme was sports, but I convinced the "addicted" father to use this theme in a delicate way, to be appropriate to a new born and baby afterwards.... I usually like to use animals and pastel colors in baby rooms. When babies are starting interacting, their rooms will help them a lot discovering the world!

All textile was personalized and the same animals part of the picture were also tailored everywhere on the baby room kit. Animals were also tailored to be put in pockets all around the cradle. The idea was that the baby can play with them in the near future ;-)

Well, I loved the result and the color combination with blue predominancy. Exactly for a boy with a brilliant future!

Hope you liked this project as I did!!!!!

Many kisses,
Andréa

Underwater Christmas!!!

Hello!

Christmas is coming soon and can you imagine how Christmas would look like underwater? Hehe, I painted this wall at my parents' place at Christmas' time on the swimmingpool backyard. I hang also balls and a star on the top of the tree (well... algas  tree).

Hope you like it as well!

Many kisses,

Andréa

Funny aircrafts

Dear all,

I designed this room with a lot of love to my nephew Lucca. As you can imagine, he is son of a pilot and the theme was aircrafts. It should be funny and at the same time combined with animals! I draw them and loved the result. The colours were pastel with a bit of stronger tons so that it does not get a very boring aspect. All of them were cut in MDF.

The door plate was also an aircraft with his name hang on it neck.

I enjoyed so much doing this, and if I'm not wrong it was one of my firsts room projects.

Hope you love it as well ;-)

Toy Story - wall painting to Lucca

Hi everyone,
Hope you like this wall painting I made in the room of my nephew. He is 4 years old and loves Buzz Lightyear!!!! This characters are not easy to paint, because of so many details. It took me almost one week to finish them. Also because Athina was too small and I couldn't spend so much time doing this.
But I loved the result... only the clouds are missing but I promised my cousin that I would bring them ready next time I go to Recife.
Kisses to all of you,
Andréa

Fairies for Athina!!!

Hi all,
Since before my pregnancy I used to buy myself the comics Faries... yes, I'm a big child.... and loved the characters and the style of the drawing - moviments, colours, scenarios, etc... - and then I thought I could also create a scenario with the Disney Fairies and turn it into reality in my bedroom at my parents' home in Recife / Brazil - where we spent our summer time this year!
I cut the fairies at home in Germany and painted them here... in Brazil I prepared the wall and painted the scenario there and could fix the Fairies at the end, the same way I did in Athina's room at our place.
Again, full of small animals, to which we showed Athina all the time and she seemed to enjoy looking, although she was only 4 months old....
Also I had the idea to reproduce two plush animals Athina has, the centipede and another colorful one.
I was soooo excited to finish this project and when it was finished - wow - I was so happy with the result! More than happy!
Many kisses to all,
Andréa

Adorable Balloon

^

Dear all,

This adorable painting with the bears in the colourful balloon is one of my beloved paintings. I love it because the colour combination came out very good together.

To give it a more cute detail I put a bow on one bear and a ladybug flying around....

Don't you think this painting is so irresistibly adorable?

Many kisses and so long,

Andrea

The frog forest to my Athina

Dear all,
well... to begin, this was THE achievement of my life! I enjoyed every moment of this concept, creation and realization.... every figure I created and how things have evolved. My technique has been improved significantly and at the end I could say I became a meister hehehe... just because every little detail has been made with as must dedication as I could give to it.
The frogs forest and its trees and houses in the trees, the lake and the happy frogs coming up together to celebrate the birth of my little Athina, one year ago.
When I made this project I was already pregnant and I can say I was in the best good mood I've ever been, all my thoughts and heart were concentrated to my pregnancy and my baby inside me.
It gave me somehow inspiration that moved me forward to finish this project.
Firstly I wanted to choose a theme that could serve to both boy or girl and then it came to my mind that I could explore something going to the green colour, which above all means hope. This way I came to the idea to paint frogs. They are cute and happy. We can do a lot of things with them and mix up with other little forest animals.
Another point of my concept was that I didn't want something extremely boring, with light pink or light blue. I wanted something with live, colourful and at the same time not that much strong in colour. Therefore I tried to use pastel colours mixed with more strong ones, which could lately attract the attention of Athina. Well... target met ;-)
All figures were drawn in wood, cut with my scroll saw, painted and then fixed on the wall with hot glue.
About the textile developed to the room, I also draw everything, the figures, pillows and curtains as well as which textile should be used. And then I sent all drawings by fax to a good professional in the countryside of my state in Brazil, Pernambuco. She can do wonderful job, and quite quickly. All textile has been brought by my mother to Germany, during my pregnancy as well. When I saw it, I could hard believe in what my eyes were seeing, so much beautiful that my creation has become.
All this to wait for the arrival of our God's gift Athininha!
... and she keeps enjoying her room...
Many kisses and see you soon,
Andréa

Dear animals!

Hi everyone,
Those are my little animals I simple love! The bigger one with all animals above the leaves is more than 30cm long and I enjoy so much look at it... I made one for me and it is hanged in my atelier.
The other three are complementary and can be put one next to other... They are so colourful and full of energy. An alternative to the one with the three animals reading a book was to write down the child's name on the clould, so that it can be used as a door plate as well.... anyway I find them the cutest!!!!!
Kisses to all,
See you soon!
Love,
Andréa

Die lieben Sieben

Hi everyone,
a friend of mine asked me to make something cute to her sister, who will get a baby boy. I thought about the Lieben Sieben, beloved german characters. Then I thought I could make something simple for her to adapt to the baby room. I then cut the seven nice animals with musical instruments in the size of around 20cm that could produce a cute border with the background strip painted with light blue.
To complete the kit I made a door plate with his name using a ready wood box.
I loved the result and my friend as well.
See you soon,
Kisses,
Andréa
