DIY SAND-BOX ON WHEELS

How clever?! A DIY sand-box on wheels. This way it will no longer take-up the best spot in the garden and roll it in a corner or under the table when they are finished with playing.

CUSTOM-MADE CHALKBOARDS

These chalkboards of Amsterdam canal houses were made as a gift for three little boys who live in London, but have a Dutch father. Their initials are on each house. They are not only used to make drawings, but also for the schedules of the boys.

BIRTHDAY CAKES

Such fun cakes! Mini balloons on sticks: also fun for grown-ups if they are all in one colour to match a colour theme.

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.

INDOOR PLAY HOUSES

Great ideas for indoor playhouses.

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.

BUILT-IN CHILDRENS BEDS

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

TAILOR-MADE CHALKBOARDS

These chalkboards were made as birthday presents for two girls (age 3 and 4) that walk around with a handbag all day and for a boy whose father is a chef. The letter of their names is painted in the chalkboard. Would you also like to have a chalkboard (any shape or size is possible) made please visit www.artarchive.nl for more information.
