Paloma's Nest

Can I get an "amen"! We finally did it. After months of collecting pretty knickknacks and making craft projects, Paloma's room has finally come together. The room, being 6.5 feet by 10 feet is practically a walk-in closet by some people's standards. But I think we maximized the space as much as possible without having it look so cramped. Here's a tour...

Ikea Expedit bookcase -- affordable and clean.
I spotted these charming embroidered cards at the Sant Antoni Sunday market a long time ago.
We decided to put a toddler mattress on the floor for several reasons. A bed frame would have consumed all of the narrow space. Being on the floor, it can also be her play area.
See? Playing.
My handmade paper medallion.
Being from earthquake country, I tried not to put shelves directly above her head. So I put these mini shelves further away and put light paper birdies on them.
There were a ton of unflattering cushions here left in the apartment, so I whipped up these cushion covers with some fabric from my collection. Go me! I can sew straight lines!
My proudest craft project involving more complicated sewing. Birdie friends on a branch. And it only took a year to finish!
More playing.
Thanks for looking, friends and family!
