boys bedroom jonah

This amazing boy’s bedroom belongs to Jonah who is four years old. He lives with his little brother Lowe and mum and dad in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Jonah’s dad built him a cabin bed made from scrap wood from the old shed that was demolished. His mum Tynke is a scrap metal dealer and commercial manager of an electronics recycling company. She loves buying and selling second hand goods on the internet and at the freemarket that takes place during Queen’s Day.

Tynke’s best tip for decorating a kids room is to get creative and make your own with bits and bobs from around the house.

Let’s find out a bit more about Jonah now.

♥ What is your favourite food? Chocolate and vanilla tiger sprinkles on a slice of bread – but I’ll only eat the sprinkles.

  1. I adore Jonahs bed/play house! Wouldn’t it be great if everyone had someone as creative as Tynke to create little miracles? 🙂

  2. Amazing work- it reminds me of Piet Hein eek’s scrapwood furniture. So thoughtful for a 4 year old to say he would take his little brother with him to the desert island. Have a lovely day x

  3. Wow, what an amazing design
