New room make-up

We have been changing a lot in Sofia’s room lately to make it more cosy and suitable for an almost 2-year-old girl.

The bay in the room has changed to a cosy place where she can sit and read or play. We have recently added some curtains to make it look nicer.
She has liked it the very moment she saw it and now loves to snuggle up in the cushions and ask us to read a book.
Some pom-pom in one corner help to bring some colour.
I have bought these at a lovely shop called PinkFisch. When I bought the pom-pom, I thought they were quite a lot and would fill the whole corner. I like the result but I would like to add some more of them.

We have also bought a second-hand romantic bed in case she should decide she wants to sleep in her own room. For now it is a place she likes to sit now and then to look at a book.

And there is one little open project. While visiting one of the many markets during our holidays in Provence, we found these:

I don’t know the name. They are used to do cross-stiching etc. but I once saw them as a decoration.
We found a lovely haberdashery shop in Avignon, full with wonderful fabrics, called Le Cartonnier de Marie, where we spent quite some time. I just looove these kind of shops, filled until the last corner and full of little surprises or things you don’t even know they existed.
The web site is a bit of a mess but if you like little shops with fabrics, buttons and such other things, it is worth a visit.

The last thing to do is to place the fabrics into the frames and to hang them up. I am not sure if I want to use some paint and stencils on the fabrics…
Will show you the result once it’s ready.
