Some of the Current Panda Ideas

I spent a couple of hours trolling the internets for nursery ideas.  These are a few items for real life nurseries that I found.

This is just awesome.  I'm not sure if I'd sculpt the parts in clay and then flock them or use fabric and sew them.  He looks so hugable!  I wish I had one big enough to fight me.
 I'm not sure I like this rug.  It looks more like panda roadkill.  But maybe doing something like this and filling it with stuffing to have a panda bear that a child could nap on?  I've seen stuffed toys like that in catalogs before.
Before I show the lamp ideas I want to mention the roombox I chose has a clear top, which takes away the need to electrify the room.  Not everyone is wiling to rearrange their homes so a "toy" can reach electricity.  I might look into a couple of those new LED lamps on the market, but only if my friend wants to go that route.  So for now all lamps would be non-working.

 I think this is the better of the two lamps.  The panda and ball could be easily made from polymer clay or even beads.  A bit of paper or fabric with trim for the shade...
 This lamp idea could be cute if I found the right bead or sculpted a more cartoonish panda from clay.
What do you think folks?

I should have the trial run height chart done and have pictures Tuesday.  I wasn't sure which fabric to use so I'm doing one on each and I'll see what fits the room best.
