Oak & Teak Interiors gives You Luxury Nurseries, Kids Rooms & Playrooms Perfect for Your Child

Oak & Teak Interiors - Bellanaija - Octoberr2014013

Oak & Teak interiors is an interior decoration and furniture design company based in Lagos with specialization in setting up and accessorizing modern baby nurseries, decorating rooms & playrooms for children as well as furnishing them.
The company believes that the look and feel of a space has the power to transform – it can relax, rejuvenate, inspire, frustrate and even sadden us (babies included). Consequently, if there is a slight way that a baby’s room can help the baby’s development and feelings, then parent should consider paying attention to it.
At Oak & Teak, parents are strongly advised to set apart a dedicated room/space for their children which should be a fanciful and creative expression of what makes the child and parent feel happy whenever they are in it.
Designing a nursery or kid rooms from start to finish can be incredibly fun, but it can also be extremely overwhelming, especially if you’re a first-time parent. That’s why Oak & Teak does what it does — they make their clients feel at ease and excited about their nurseries/kid rooms while helping them enjoy the whole process. The Founder/ Creative Director, has an eye for exceptional and breath-taking children interior designs, which gives your child’s room a feel of luxury, functionality and warmth. They work directly with expectant parents or parents with young children to give life to their design preferences. In addition, they are fully knowledgeable of existing safety requirements for baby furniture and ensure that all their furniture and accessories are in alignment with these standards.
At Oak & Teak, the design process is made simple, fun and stress free, such that they can complete a nursery or kids’ interior design project with as much or as little interaction as a client’s schedule permits. In addition, they also strive to work with our client’s budget as long as its realistic.
All furniture including the baby crib (cot), rocking chair, footstool, gold side table, changing table/dresser, and baby bassinet in the room showcased were designed and made by Oak & Teak. The Oak & Teak custom made bassinet showcased in the pictures below can be placed beside the baby’s mum at night because it is highly recommended to let babies sleep in separate beds close to their parents. The fear is that a parent could inadvertently trap a baby in bed covers or in the space between the bed and the wall. Some studies suggest co-sleeping puts babies at higher risk for SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Especially when parents drink too much, smoke, or fail to make sure the bed is safe. This is why a bassinet is advised for babies between 0 months – 8 months or when the baby can roll over by themselves.
A project for: Baby Oluwashindara
Age: 1 year
Location: Victoria Island, Lagos
Description: The parents of this beautiful baby wanted a nursery that she could grow into, they specifically didn’t want any cartoon characters, but instead wanted her room to feel warm yet pretty with a touch of luxury and royalty because she is a little princess.
Favourite item: The bed crown. It transforms an ordinary room into an enchanted bed chambers fit for a princess.

“If You Can’t Stay Married, Don’t Go Into It” – Nollywood Actress Tina Mba Tells Celebrities

tina_1_3Popular Nollywood actress, Tina Mba has voiced out her concerns about celebrities and marriage and how most of the marriages do not last.

The Enugu born actress and former model shared her views while on set of Africa Magic’s ‘Jara’ TV show with Helen Paul and Uti Nwachukwu where they asked her about her views on marriage in the entertainment industry.
Tina Mba stated, “I have two lovely children.  But what I know about marriage is that it is an institution laid down by God, so it is sacred. What I tell people is that if you can’t stay married, please, do not go into it. Marriage is a burden; it is a huge responsibility. If you are not ready for it, don’t go there. Marriage is not about having a lavish ceremony. But it is about you and what you truly feel and how you tend to make it work. What I am saying is that if you can’t keep it together, don’t venture into it. People marry for different reasons. If you are an actress, a wife and a mother, you should know your responsibility is more. Because you are married, you cannot go on a movie set and start giving excuses. You know you will be losing your jobs little by little. The directors understand, so they will be giving you slacks. You do not have to kiss and hug all the time.”

Photos: Young girl allegedly battered by her father's lover in Benin

People from this little girl's school just reached out to me. They say the girl's father's lover has been allegedly battering her. Her name is Blessing Osayande and she's a Pry 2 pupil of South Royal School in Benin. The girl's school authority said they have called the father and talked to him several times after seeing injuries on her body but apparently the abuse has not stopped.

Today, the girl came to school with a broken head and said her father's lover slammed her head against a table. The welfare office in Benin has since taken up the case but they still wanted the public to be aware. They didn't give the lover's name or photo. That I would have loved to share...
