I recently did a post on cooking with our kids (they start young here) and all because of our piano bench. It's a brilliant way (if not exactly aesthetically pleasing) for the kids to be able to sidle up to the counter anytime they want and help out.

I was so excited to make one of these with my kids when I saw this (we get way too many oranges from our CSA), and then I read the first comment and realized that the squirrels (and raccoons) would ruin them. Boo.

I really like how the bed walls hit the ceiling and the crown trim around the perimeter really makes that top bunk feel like its own little room.

Isn't that interesting, that the popularity of the chevron may be related to the Missoni by Target line. Interesting...could be!

While I am a big fan of bunting and it's nostalgic feeling (even though it's not my nostalgia, we didn't use it when I was little), it is showing up EVERYWHERE (including my house). It's just ubiquitous, too "twee", but still, I can't resist.

I would love for people who didn't see my daughter's room when it was featured here in November to stop over and see what we did with some Ikea spice drawers and old crates!

I picked a few of those up at a little shop in Troy, NY when visiting old architecture school friends in the winter of 2010 and have given them as gifts, to much delight! I am sad to report that ours hasn't seen much action, but that is surely due to our urban location and species of backyard birds. They are brilliant!

Thank you so much for all your kind comments. I was honestly worried that it would be very unimpressive compared to some super fantastic looking rooms I've seen here lately. It's been a fun few days having this up here and I appreciate all the feedback!

@kellystokes: Most of the kitchen elements are from Plan Toys, but there are some custom elements.

@remees: We are in the heart of earthquake country, but as mentioned in the interview, I've done a bunch of rigid and pin connections and cables to be sure that we don't have a topple-over in a quake!

Prepped 'em last night, made 'em this morning, were fantastic. You can prepare them in the pans, refrigerate, let sit out of the fridge for an hour in the morning and they come out great.

We usually have more potatoes than we can handle from our CSA box. Recently I made some potato and chorizo tacos, using two pounds of potatoes, which made dinner and then a few weekend snacks. Was a great way to use them up.

http://bloggingcornerblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/cook-box-1-night-3.html

The first night we did soft tacos, but over the weekend we pinned the tacos together with toothpicks and fried them, and with the quick avo-tomatillo salsa I made, they were actually incredible.

That is brilliant. We play bakery in a similar style, but this is enviable!

Along the lines of "spending five minutes a day", I read a great tip in the comment section of Bleubird blog a few months ago:

Touch it once.

It's made a difference around here. I don't just pile things on the piano waiting to then be sorted to their respective storage places. I instead pick it up and take it to its final destination. It really helps!

Campari and IPA.....we love it. We read about it here, at The Kitchn, this summer!

Speaking of micheladas, if you live in San Francisco, check out the version at Nopalito: beer, tomato, jalepeƱo, orange, lime and salt. My husband LOVES it!

Beer Cocktails: The Best of Both Worlds

I had to show this to my six year old daughter this morning. She loves to pack. Every play date is about packing a million little bags and going somewhere, and taking things back out and putting them away becomes a huge chore. This inspired me to make some of these with her, or maybe even just go buy some old cases for her to use! These are adorable.

I am an architect, and I think this is brilliant, from the elevation marker to the use of "typ.".

Hilarious! And congratulations!

Architectural Baby Announcement

I think this is brilliant. Backsplash areas are usually small enough that you might even be able to convince a landlord to let you do it. In our case, we went for it and did a giant wall for the kids, and in the kitchen just used chalkboard decals on the refrigerator.

http://www.ohdeedoh.com/ohdeedoh/inspiration/a-creative-corner-corner-blog-156428

The black/gray of these backsplashes looks fantastic. I do think that the old "school" green chalkboard color would work well in some of these kitchens as well. I sometimes regret not using that color for our giant wall, would've been lovely!
