We have recently moved into a new home, and it was a priority for me to get the girl’s room done first. Eva (age 3) has a love of books, dancing, art, plants, and playing dress up. Eva also happens to have Down Syndrome. She attends pre-school full time as well as dance class. The days can be tiring for her, so she looks forward to coming home to her room to read, play, and more importantly, decompress from her day. It is important to me that Eva has a space in which she could do this but also share the fun with one of her best friends, her sister Elsie (age 2). When designing a room, my first stop is usually Ikea, then Target, and then the thrift store. I like to finish the rooms off with plants and some handmade items from small businesses and artisans. What is special to me about this room, specifically, is that a lot of the decor has been hand crafted by some incredible friends with shops, that I met through Instagram. It was also my first encounter with Babiekins Magazine, which continues to inspire me daily.
