Hello! This is Alexis and that's my living room. We banished the coffee table in favor of floor space for our 2-year-old (which she obviously uses!), and the sofa because we wanted space to have ...

We are in the same situation! It drives us absolutely crazy. Consumer Reports seems fairly negative on the efficacy of air purifiers in general, so I have been reluctant to plunk down the money. ...

We bought a handmade - but not expensive! - ladybug step stool for my daughter from Tots Only through Etsy. (He's on vacation through the end of Sept. but will be back soon.) My daughter LOVES it.

We have the orange version of this, and our daughter loves it. I think it is very attractive and basically well-designed and well made. However, the pushbar kept falling out (my husband made som...

I love these! Since plants only come to my house (I assume) to die, these would be perfect...but I'm also too lazy to dust them frequently enough!

I toss all my 2-year-old daughter's shoes into a small basket by the door. It's sort of shallow and wide, so she can find the ones she wants to wear easily. Our shoes get similar treatment, excep...

When I saw it - in the catalogue, I think - I just wondered why. It just looks like they forgot something.

From their list of furniture web sites, I love Q Collection. Their things look so beautiful and their mission is ideal. But...I can't get any purchase past the steering committee unless the piece...

My mother bought a set of elephants for my 2-year-old daughter's room - they make adorable bookends! She gave a set of beautiful dragon bookends to my sister as an engagement gift.

I don't fully understand the "confidence is more important than instinct" anti-rule. My experience is that going with your instinct is, 99% of the time, the best thing to do, but in the face of di...

I sympathize! I cannot bring myself to cut up or recycle MSL (although now that I read these postings, I am thinking - just thinking - of giving it a shot). The magazines are just so glossy and b...

You definitely don't need a changing table. All you need is a blanket or towel on the bed, floor, or other stable flat surface. One thing I would have loved to have to make all this mobile diaper...

Quite gross. If a child has to have their appendix removed, are you going to fix it in formaldehyde and display it on the bookshelf?

Reminds me of the early days of the West Elm catalogue, when the photos had items like...purple baskets full of purple toothbrushes - things that most people would never have, just for the sake of ...
