Yesterday I hung Maia’s paintings and drawings that I had framed a couple weeks ago. Most went into the reading nook in her bedroom. It’s an area I created by stringing wire between two eye screws on either wall and using curtain hooks to hang white fabric “curtains”. Next to the bookcase, I created a padded reading spot out of a small futon with lots of pillows and Maia’s stuffed friends.
Bedroom is a misnomer, since she still sleeps with us, but at some point we’ll put a bed in here, probably even in the reading nook.
Hi! My name is Jean and I am mama to two daughters -- a four year old and a newborn. I'm trying to parent in a way that encourages creative expression, imagination, joyfulness, and a love of learning. Thanks for visiting!

What a cozy, inviting space. I wish I had my own little reading nook just like that. The art makes it just perfect. Such an inspiring place to dream up her next adventure. Lucky girl!

Thanks for sharing your project! I love how you have hung her artwork with a variety of different frames. It is beautiful! I also love the reading nook…you’ve inspired me to create one for Felix. Thanks!

i like the variety of frames too–after seeing this i am encouraged not to stress too much over the frames themselves and just get some pieces framed and hung up! thanks for all your inspiration! i am new to your blog (found it through good+happy day) and really love it!
