@Kellystokes and the little chimney slides around which you can't tell from the pictures. It really is charming.

While we always welcome reader feedback, I'm not sure where many readers got the idea that Apartment Therapy is *only* about designing a home. It's about living in it too. I would also say that the topic of this post is certainly design related. I've never been put on bedrest, but if I were I could imagine rearranging my bedroom - perhaps to accomodate my son's little work table. Or, perhaps I would change up the living room so I could rest comfortable and also supervise my son while he played. You get the idea.

@Sabrinathedestroyer Thanks for the heads up. I did add them, but, yes, they're not appearing. I've asked our tech team to look into it.

Since there's been some discussion about how much difference here is in the photography, I thought I'd add that the only Before photo the designer had was smaller than the 540 width we run our photos and I did enlarge it a bit which further degraded the quality. So, yeah, sure there is definitely a difference in the quality of the photos but I think we can all agree that the physical changes made to the room are a big improvement.

Nicci, I'm new to gardening myself but have been pretty successful with herbs the past two summers. For me, the easiest have been flat-leaf parsley and mint (which needs its own pot). Cilantro has also been good. I've had a harder time with dill and basil. You might start by buying herb plants at the farmers market and transplanting them rather than starting from seeds the first year. (or not!). Good luck!

They ship to the US. I've recently bought a few things from abroad and the shipping wasn't much more than domestic and everything went smoothly.

@JulianFox We wondered about that too, but we believe it's legit. Here's a link to a 2011 about Ikealand in HuffPoUK

@Rroseisred - I love the idea of a jelly bean hunt which solves both the problem of being indoors and in a small apartment; thanks!

@Linnybee My son also wasn't into Sophie, but I passed her on to my niece who is a fan.

@MWellingtons & KK415 So funny you mention Three Men And a Baby - I caught part of it on tv not long ago and also noticed Sophie's cameo! This is a mystery that the Journal should get to the bottom of!!

@Zeusz - not much, it has to do with the home and how we live in it.

@alaichoy I'm not sure. They are already available in Europe so it's more a matter of which US buyers ordered them at the tradeshow (or otherwise). You could always contact Janod for help and I'll be sure to keep my eyes open and let readers know when I see them for sale here.

@Nudik I hadn't read into the TOTY nominations process - the outcomes make a lot more sense now (i.e. $) - thanks!

I hope I don't get blacklisted now! ;)
