Ikea allows me to have a huge dining room table and lots of chairs to have friends and family over. I couldn't afford that at any other furniture store and entertaining makes me very happy. It ha...

I hear "your backyard looks like a park!" and, "this is such a great party house" and "I need you to come help decorate my house!" Makes me feel very proud:)

what a beautiful kitchen! So glad you're keeping it rather than turning it into a drab contemporary kitchen.

My husband used Twitter and Facebook to keep people updated when I didn't need him. I was a bit busy and so left that to him:)

I love it! So fun and inspiring. We went crazy with color in our first house but this house already had really nice neutrals in place when we moved in, so we've been less daring. Seeing your house...

gorgeous, my favorite so far. And I also must commend your choice of rocker. And I LOVE the name art and bedding.

where did you get the adorable headbands Kenzie is wearing?

Huge Coupland fan, had never heard of the movie. I have to go search it out now!

I think it would drive me batty!

I voted not simply because of the price. Ridiculously high for a child, although it is pretty.

Oh chill out people, one of these would be a blast if you had the space and the cash!

pyjammy-I also love shower games! And as far as a co-ed baby shower, I definitely think that is best since there are TWO people involved, but in the case of my friend who I am throwing one for, sh...

You are spot on! Everyone says they hate the cheesy games, but they are meant to be icebreakers and to give everyone something to do. Not such a big deal if you have a small party with just clos...

Not a beatles fan, but that is adorable!

I would LOVE to do this because I find trying to be frugal a game of sorts, but doubt the family would go for it. Also, since we are financially doing fine, I do feel some obligation to support the...

When we had a two story, we had toy storage and toys downstairs and upstairs, but now that we have a one-story, my daughter's toys all live in her room, but, like others they can come out to be pla...

We have a cool vintage wall unit with a desk, record storage, book shelves and, of course, a locked bar cabinet. So we use it, of course, but it's on the small side and sort of pathetically stocked.

Love the kitchen and bathroom, how gorgeous, clean and minimal!

That is lovely! I wish I had a space to do this, but it definitely seems much more doable than the people who have a whole room to devote to crafts, I'll never have that much space unless I build ...

Awesome! You have such unique, great style.
