a little bit of nesting: his new corner

here we go with his new corner. this is the place that the changing table used to stand. i was delighted when i measured the whole room and found out that the little table with the two chairs fits exactly into this corner. i wanted to make a little drawing/crafting/writing center. the spice rack from ikea is helpful because it keeps materials away from the table for a free workspace. i bought some new crayons, and he has his paints and wax crayons, a sharpener, his scissors, some stickers and extra sheets of paper there right now.

i created a blackboard using blackboard foil (just like in the kitchen). at the moment he's very into cleaning the board with the little cloth i gave him for that... what was most important to me was to hang up any pictures or photos at a height where he can actually look at them well. the drawing, as you might have guessed, is by simona, who generously gave it to us. you can take a closer look at it here. i left some space for "he loves to read" illustration and anything spencer might want to hang up in the future. 

 

here is an older shot of the other side of the room. i love how there is A LOT of space in the middle of the room now for play. we can set up his train tracks, build a duplo farm, even set up the trampoline. not much was changed for him, but what needed to was made extra special. at least he was super excited to show the results to his papa when he came home in the evening!
