I’m blessed to have a cube carved out of my bedroom wall, and I use that as my devotional space. I’m quite artistic, so I can’t help not to have a little creativity in creating my space.
What does yours look like?
 
Your picture is beautiful-and thank you for sharing.

I don’t have many statues-Just a very large crucifix on the wall-about 2 1/2 foot size,
Below it is a high dresser with large statues of Jesus (Sacred Heart), Mary and St Anthony. I have a small statue of Divinio Nino in the front.

I also have a La pieta that I put in the living room for lenten season.

St. Anthony of Padua?! I love him!!!
 
Thank you for sharing. I love your arrangement of the smaller statues, multi-level so they each are full view. Where did you find or order them from?
 
I wish I can show you the picture but basically the table part of the altar is shaped like a chalice and on top is a huge bible, candles. And above the altar, mounted on the wall (which the altar is directly in front of) is a huge white circle made of wood (the Eucharist). My dad built it and I think it’s so cute
 
My dear hubby made a kneeler for me and I put it in a closet that’s big enough for me to say my prayers and meditate. I have a white tablecloth suspended from the ceiling that was my mothers and in the opened folds I can see an image of a lady–to me looks like the Blessed Mother… I think how special that a table cloth that was folded for 15 years could have an crease just like that??? I take it as a special gift for me from God…nobody else notices it unless I point it out. But also on the top of the kneeler I have statues of Mary holding Jesus’ dead body, a crucifix, and lots of holy cards and holy pictures that I can change with the year…
 
Mine is a very small space at the far end of my kitchen. I have a little “breakfast nook” with table where I pray each morning. I started setting prayer cards on that tiny counter space and before I knew it, I had a prayer corner!

Here is mine. I live in a very small apartment and this is located in the space between two windows. I have a kneeler in front, but you can only see the top of it in the picture.

I love yours! The curtains look awesome, btw. I do not have a kneeler in mine, but luckily, the height of my altar is the height my elbows comfortably rest at when I kneel, so I just placed a memory foam rug for me to kneel on.

I order them from Catholic Free Shipping. They’re awesome because you can get free shipping for buying as low as $20 worth of items. I got these for some time now, so I do not remember how much I bought them for, but I believe I got them for around $4-6 each. Padre Pio I bought on Amazon for $5, but I got a big one because I assume the seller ran out of the smaller ones I meant to buy.
When I buy statues, it seems often that I buy them at the last minute before the prices unexpectedly rise. I bought the carrying of the cross statue for $14 +s/h, but now, it more than $20 +s/h.
 
I use a desk against one wall in my bedroom. I have been gradually accumulating items. I have an Eastern Diptych showing Jesus the Pan-creator on one said and the Holy Family on the other. Another Diptych which folds into a little case with Jesus on one side and Mary on the other. A large metal crucifix. A statute of Our Lady of Grace. A luminous Our Lady of Loudres. And a glass hologram of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At one end is a Bible and to the rear I keep several religious books.
