yep, roman shades all the way. that was my first thought too.

I agree about color. I think orange would be outstanding!

I tend to hide my copy of Babywise, even though we don't really use it. It has that love it or hate it quality and I don't want the fact that I own the book to put me in a "she's THAT kind of paren...

My husband blogged while I was in labor. I blogged in early labor and a few hours after I got some sleep. But it was fun to keep people informed that way and also get encouragement from their comme...

gosh this looks scary !

no apologies here. love ikea for it's price-points and availability to me. I also don't feel bad about changing things up when I get bored or putting my feet on the coffeetable!

I agree, change the paint color and go with a flatter finish since the walls are uneven. You could do a really nice light pale robin's egg blue on the walls and then the white table would work bett...

there was a post here a while back about hooks that go over a door...you would still see it, but at least it wouldn't be in the middle of the room!

I second the corolle dolls. I got one for my niece and she still loves it, 3 years later. They are very well made and they smell really good!

I was wondering the same thing nanou! Everyone looks cute but mama is a big fat blob...is that how they really see us??? ;-)

Also interested to hear suggestions for this. My husband is in a band and we are both in the church band which get VERY loud. I would love to know what others do for newborns in this situation.

How about adjusting the thermostat a couple degrees cooler in winter and a couple warmer in the summer (better yet, open the windows if you are in a mild climate)?

I've been looking for a reason to buy this table for months now but it still hasn't materialized. It was introduced in the summer with the College line. I don't know if they mention it on the site ...

I have this chair for my baby due in January. It matches everything so well that I just had to go ahead and get it. Just remember that the tray is sold separately! I will be making another trip to ...

I did the same exact thing to an old dresser in our nursery. Orange base with white drawers! We love it.

I live in Raleigh and it makes me laugh that they called that a "vintage voting booth"...It is identical to the one I voted in yesterday!
