BRONZE PRAM

A gift for a design.

When one sister had her baby in London she asked her artistic elder sister to design the front of the birth announcement card for her. As a thank you present for the design she asked us to make a bronze sculpture of the pram, which was on the card, with her baby boy in it (with a little foot sticking out) and with her sisters children around the pram.

Please feel free to contact us via info@inspirationarchive.nl if you would like to have a custom bronze sculpture made.  Also check out our website www.artarchive.nl for many other sculptures we made to order.

NATE'S INTERIOR TIPS

How to Make Your Room Look Its Best according to Nate Berkus

• Your home is an expression of you. Before you buy one more thing for your home, stop and think about what really makes you happy.
• Hang something other than artwork on your walls, like antique objects or your favorite collectibles.
• Frame meaningful notes to hang on your walls or to put on end tables or bookshelves.
• Bookcases aren't just for books anymore: Mix souvenirs from vacations in with your books.
• Put books on display that spark your interest.
• Replace harsh overhead lighting with a few cool lamps.
• For a sophisticated look for not a lot of money, include one piece of sea life, like a starfish or some coral.
• One odd, unmatched chair that you love can add extra charm to a room.

ART IN CHILDRENS BEDROOM

 

Hang pictures of their friends on the wall for a 'wall of fame' in your childrens bedroom. Or fill frames with butterfly stickers. Another idea, paint the favorite cartoon on a painting and hang them on the wall or we can do it for you (see www.artarchive.nl for more information). My mother painted this pink Jip & Jannek for above the childrens beds. The big empty walls will be cosy in no time.

DINING CHAIRS

If you can't find a matching set of dining chairs: no problem. Just mix-n-match by painting them all in the same colour and upholstering them in a matching fabric.

BRONZE CHILDREN ON A SWING

This sculpture was made as a gift for the celebration of a 5 year wedding anniversary. The children were sculpted based on pictures we received. The swing can be hung from the ceiling but also from a branch in a tree (as seen in the photo). The swing seat has a green patina.

I HAVE GOT TO TRY THIS

I came across this idea in Martha Stewarts magazine and am definitely going to try this when I make spaghetti next!

FLOATING CHANDELIER

Light reflected in a mirror is always so pretty. By having electricity prepared and having a hole made in a mirror any light can be fixed onto the mirror. In these photo's you can see how the lights turned into a floating chandelier. If electricity is too difficult a candleholder will have the same effect.

These ideas for childrens' beds are just great! Wouldn't any princes love to sleep in these beds?
