welcome to our first fully finished space in the new casita!
not that we won't make changes here and there (of course we will), but there is no pending to-do list left for gia's room. oh does that make me happy! there is something settling to my spirit by making this rental house our for-now home. we might be here for several more years still and i want the kiddos to feel settled. i want to feel settled.
we call this space gia's grotto. she is a collector. you never know where you will find a stash of treasured items. i am charmed by this tendency even when i want to pull out my hair at uncovering yet another grouping of random what-nots and whose-its. i tried to include empty spots for her to fill - baskets, drawers, and shelves - to keep the place from becoming ridiculously overcrowded.
the bird theme was surprisingly unintentional. not until the final hours did i see it repeated in every corner. maybe i should also call this room her magpie nest.
now for those interested in the 411...

There is inspiration here to last me days! I find that we struggle with storage to such a degree in my girls room that it will never be as inspiring as this! My dear little ladies are not bothered by clutter one.bit. Sigh - but I do thank you for the fresh inspiration and I will ponder how I can beautify and help their space a bit!
How beautiful! You know what? I couldn't help but smile because... well you know Gia's pillow with the little bouquets of flowers and the green lattice vining (pink, red, orange flowers).... that is the sheet that my Grandma used to back the quilt she made for me when I was a girl.... in the 70's. It is the quilt that I curl up with on cold nights or when I'm not feeling well. Yep it makes me smile! Its nice to see someone young with the same perky fabric!! :)

It's so perfectly perfect Annalea! Every last detail is filled with LOVE!
This is a beautiful space! I love the "collected look"...and all of the wonderful art! I'm thinking of making that same bird banner...LOVE LOVE LOVE!
The window curtains are TO DIE FOR! Gorgeous! Now I'm off to find Enzo's Nursery after seeing it on Houzz. :)
