After she's asleep, for about an hour, until I have to go to sleep or risk being a gremlin myself the next day. Hence why projects take a month instead of one afternoon.

Leather has to be easiest, but I hate sitting on it or looking at it so we don't have one.
We have the Ikea Ektorp with the white slipcover. In the full sun, it's like this glowing wh...
We have the ultra simple Bjorn in white and it's working out great. It follows the same principle as the Ikea Antilop highchair - zero nooks and crannies. Amen.
I'm with the crowd on this one. I saw this article and was appalled - the folly of it all! She clearly knows from organizing, and has space, but digital files aren't film.
We have an ...
Lizliterarius - she says in the blog post that her husband had just finished it and she still needs to hang things on the wall. In any case, thousands of people go to Ikea and never have entryways ...
I love the tipi! This room must be huge! Great colors and nice little display touches. Is that a secret door in the closet? Awesome!
This room is remarkably like our toddlers, from the...
Low! We have an Ikea one that is13 inches off the ground, it's the perfect height (in my opinion). Easy to clean under, you can store things if you want, and if getting up is a problem you can alwa...
Oooh, fun, I want to play too! We have three:
1) Awkward floor plan - the front door opens into a narrow hallway (the same width as the door) that dead ends at a wall heater. You have...
msamma - try Plan Toys or Ryan's Room for the furniture, it looks like that to me, not sure about the house.
I like seeing this done, I had the same thought while my daughter played wi...
Empathy for all very tired parents is what I have to contribute to this conversation. I'm sure if anyone reads through all these comments, they are as desperate as we.
For us, the slee...
Hah! Speaking of sleep! We have the Peapod by Kidco, and it's not working out so great. Our friends with twins have the same model and are finding the same thing. The problem is hard to pin down - ...
Hah! I still love this design! I bought one of these in Paris years ago at the Peugeot design store, and now my toddler gets a giant kick out of it. The udders are just a rubbery cap, inside is a s...
I never get tired of seeing home offices, especially the cord problem and chair question. Like the fourth one in this set, although wouldn't want to sit in those chairs for long. Keep 'em coming!
Am I wrong to say that rare is the partner who is willing to stare up at a chandelier every night?
Which goes back to the fascinating question of how a house gets decorated when a cou...
Our toddler's bedroom is a sleep haven, too. All her books and toys are in the living room. Because I can't think of anything more important than her sleeping. I enjoy the Color Contests around her...
I don't love the look of this clock, personally. We have 'KID Sleep', which is the same concept, and I find it simpler and sweeter. It has a little bunny sleeping that switches to an awake bunny at...
Long post, but I have to balance out what craftyashley says, because it's not my personal experience. For me, contract technical writing pays extremely well and many of the contracts can be worked ...
Like TammyE, I think there is maybe some evolution but more habituation - my husband wasn't 'on duty' at night for ages, and often had no idea what was going on at night in the morning. Now we rota...
My two cents - we had full-length curtains, and rather than for safety we hemmed them way up to windowsill level simply so I could use the space below the window. We're short on space and I didn't ...
This is just an observation in general about stainless steel bottles - when they get thrown or dropped, they HURT. And dented. I don't see this mentioned, so maybe it's just me, but after the first...
