I work in early childhood and it is all about sustainability. By using natural and inexpensive material that children under 5 can make, which must be non-toxic. Please help.

Do you know if your nice shop can sell abroad or if we can get in touch with them to get some good advices ? Thanks for your blog and that's a damned good job your doing. Hi Katie,

We just fall on your blog while searching a natural varnish so that we can finish our baby to come bed. Do you know if your nice shop can sell abroad or if we can get in touch with them to get some good advices ?

Thanks for your blog and that’s a damned good job your doing.

The storage would be a dream! The varnish that we used is called "volvox proAqua Klarlack". I think you'll like using it. I love what you're all doing, from painting walls to varnishing doors with more natural products. You've made my week! Katie Alicia,

I'm relatively new to your blog (though I must admit it, I've read all old entries) and I love it! I'm a Spanish living in Frankfurt and I can relate to many things you write about German culture and living in Germany. It's been almost five years now, so I'm kind of getting used to it. :-) Last weekend I moved to a tiny apartment in a great neighborhood in Frankfurt with my boyfriend and I'm thrilled to see how we manage to live in such a small place! (yeah, I guess we won't we doing so much laundry anymore...). Anyway, we have built our own loft bed with closets underneath (a DIY based on ikea closets) and I have to apply varnish to the upper wood panels (where the mattress actually lies). Could you maybe tell me the name of the varnish you used? It sounds great because we have to sleep on it, so the more natural the better, and we can't really afford to move out just to varnish the bed! I'll send you pictures when we're done! (don't expect them anytime soon though, we're langsam) Thanks Katie! Hi Katie! I’m relatively new to your blog (though I must admit it, I’ve read all old entries) and I love it!
