We are very happy with the PlayTray. We never used an infant rail on our Tripp Trapp, so we continue to use the harness with the PlayTray for our one-year-old. The PlayTray comes with an optional s...
We have purchased very few baby-specific products for our home. However, I found the cheap, ugly plastic carousel bottle drying rack to be the best solution (First Years Spin and Store Drying Rack)...
We have white malm dressers from IKEA and our crib is birch (plus the floor is light maple wood almost the same as the crib). Originally I planned to purchase a white crib thinking it would match t...
Ecover laundry powder works very well, and the Ecover non-chlorine bleach powder added to white sheets seems to make them even fresher (we use it for all our whites). Washing our sheets in Tide use...
Just some useful info: check with your town to see if they sell rain barrels. We bought ours through our town public works for about $60 (we live in Massachusetts) and it came complete with spigots...
The simplehuman bag holder is useful because it is tall and narrow so it saves space in the kitchen cabinet under the sink. We've had it for a few years now and it really hasn't deteriorated in any...
Just a note about the IKEA Malm: we have some of the 3-drawer units that we are re-purposing for the nursery and planned to use as a changing table. However these drawer units actually tip over if ...
Our nursery is very light white with pale silver/blue walls and a light maple floor. I plan to add some soft cocoa and persimmon orange accents and I thought this orange table lamp would lend a nic...
I think these parents (well, rug company designers) think the poster shows a fun, strong, healthy woman. What's wrong with the picture? She's too skinny? She's wearing a modest bikini? I think it p...
Unvented fireplaces, along with unvented gas stoves/ovens, are supposedly bad for your health because they release carbon monoxide into the air. Doesn't it seem a little sketchy that gas boilers an...
Instead of crapping on the equipment, we should just notice that Marc made good use out of a small space. Even though a lot of the storage is IKEA, the chair and the army green drawer unit (is that...
Sorry if this is a repeat, but I just skimmed the comments- I think Bluestar said something along these lines. Commenters should just ignore immature remarks and move on with whatever they want to ...
As posted by Laura, look in the IKEA kitchen section for countertops- not just the office section. We used 2 solid butcher block kitchen countertops and then added 8 legs. This does have the disadv...
If this post is real... I think it's interesting that this is sort of a Donald Trump-esque, American McMansion interpretation on a budget. I honestly feel like this is someone- maybe a foreign pers...
I realize you're not looking for patterns, but this gray George Nelson fabric is pretty subtle and would be so amazing on a mid-c couch. It's expensive, but since you only have to do the cushions, ...
I meant to add that the tables look pretty much exactly like the thumbnail photo at the top of this post (unless they've changed since we bought them). As long as you keep in mind it's IKEA, I don'...
We have had these for around 3 years- there are some nicks and scratches in the veneer- the stain doesn't hold up too well, but overall you can't see the problems unless you look closely. The powde...
We painted our living room in Behr Chocolate Froth with Swiss Coffee trim. Our house is a small cottage style, but our furniture is primarily scandinavian in style and includes natural woods and wo...

Can't seem to see the comments on this post even though it says 12 are listed... can you tell me what crib this is? thanks-

I think the couches are the Petrie from Crate and Barrel. I don't think the red woven chairs are IKEA.
