It's no designer showroom but I think the letters add a fun touch and bring out some of my favorite red objects in the room.
There's a chair in the corner across from the bookcase, perfect for reading an old classic.
We put some curtains up finally. Just some old white tab-top curtains I've had forever but my next project is to add a little bit of something playful to those. I've already ordered some fabric. Hope I don't mess it up too much.

You are an inspiration.
I love that people are really getting back into how important it is to teach our children the joy of reading.
I love reading Tintin. I have been collecting them since I was about 8 years old. My momma made me read.
I love the rag rug and the Read and the wooden box and all...
And hurrah for another generation being reared on Tintin!
"Wooah, Snowy", and all that : )
Gretchen, you might remember but the rag rug was one of Aunt Jean's. It's lasted pretty well all this time.
I didn't remember, and still don't recognize it, but that's awesome. I love stuff like that.
I'm trying to think what I have of hers, and the only thing that pops into mind is a brightly colored afghan that the boys have in their room and sometimes ends up on one bed, sometimes on another. I love those little tangible connections with the past, and particularly that generation.
Tintin's the best!! Great sign and rug, and I love to see a youngster reading, too! Of course, the nice thing about Tintin is that boys actually are willing to read it!
I want to see your curtains when you are finished with them!
You are such a good mom Liane. you put such effort into creating a cozy home for your kids and I admire that! Everything you do comes out amazing! I wish I was more like you... just not creative at all.
