Laowai

Claire’s room is disappointingly brown. Part of the reason is that I bought her a rug that I though was white but actually it’s a horrible shade of dull beige. Oops.

A couple recent additions have brightened the room up a little – the Pajaki chandelier craft and a new dresser. The dresser that I brought with us from the US was a tall slim dresser. Unfortunately it wasn’t working because Claire couldn’t reach the top two drawers. So I found a new dresser at a Brocki. It’s a sturdy and fancy little two drawer dresser that I fell in love with. It was a surprising purchase because it’s very different from the furniture style I usually gravitate to. But I keep imagining it in our French style house back in the US. In Claire’s room, which I think of as the most girly room in the house. I think it could be so lovely even alongside some modern furniture. It’s a compact feminine statement. I had to add four little pulls because it only had a key to open (and lock) the drawers. I found the most French-ornate pulls I could.

I also hung the Pajaki that I made for Christmas above the dresser. It’s pretty and fun. 

So Claire’s room still need some work but I love the new additions!

Oh and I think Claire E. like the additions too.
