I love this house and the simple furnishings. Good job!

Where does the rug on the front hall stairs come from?

We ordered a t-shirt off of Cafe Press that said "I'm going to be a big brother!" My son wore it when visiting with both sets of grandparents. I was surprised to find that both grandmas took a full minute or two to process it. The grandpas got it right away, though!

I have a set of the blankets. They are *wonderful* for a spring/summer baby and are now one of my go-to baby shower gifts. Check around for pricing. The four-pack that I bought at Target was a lot cheaper than the four-pack from Gap, although Gap had better patterns!

Thanks, everyone. I understand the "say no" comments and you all have a good point. We do say no to various behaviors and he has learned not to do many things. And we're not planning to strap every piece of furniture in the house to the walls. However, he's asking to sleep on a mat on the floor rather than in his crib, and I'd like to feel confident that he'll be safe from predictable dangers if we let him do so and he gets up during a nap and decides to play before I realize that he's awake. So, we'll be checking out the hammer drill and extension rods up to the ceiling (novel idea!). Who knows, I might just even see if I can bolt the dresser to the floor!

I bought a pair of blackout liners from Target recently. The materials listed were cotton and polyester, and they didn't have any sort of stinky fumes to them, so I figured they were safe. They do help, although they're very narrow, only 27" wide each. This is enough to cover the window, barely, but doesn't match the size of my curtains. I just tacked them to the top and inside hems of the curtains and spend about 10 seconds making sure they're over the window when I close the curtains at night.

I buy pussy willow branches in March and put them in a big vase; their dramatic branches have immediate impact and remind me of all the other plants and flowers to come, and they last for quite a while.

In the bedroom, I swap out the winter blankets and comforters for lighter spring/summer ones. They always make the room feel new, even though I didn't have to buy anything.

Can someone tell me how to get a hold of the curtains in the picture? I'm working on a nursery for a baby girl an they'd be great! They aren't on the Anthropologie site.
