A small CD player/radio combo. Got an attractive one from Gilt.com. A good selection of calming CDs-- change it up every week or so-- classical, bossa nova, jazz, classical guitar... The CD goes on at the beginning of naptime and bedtime.

Skip the gross diaper pail. We tossed the Diaper Champ about 2 weeks after the kids were born. Get one of the small Simple brand trash cans with lid and foot pedal. Empty the trash 2x a day.

Other than that, no special equipment-- just two cribs (16 month twins here) and a changing pad on top of a low dresser.

I love this home!

As a matter of personal preference, I don't care for open cabinets/shelving in the kitchen, but the home is wonderful nonetheless. I especially like the art and rug collections.

Nice job! I am a native Californian who lived in Las Vegas (Southern Highlands)from 2006-2010. The lack of design choices out there and the number of de-personalized homes out there abound. It's great to see someone did something with their tract home/cookie cutter/box. It just shows the possibilities that those homes have in the right hands.

I've gotta say, I am thrilled to be in Southern Florida with access to great design again. Of course, I always miss LA!

I recently moved and agonized over the living room furniture layout-- every wall had a window or a door, the fireplace is off-center, there is a built-in bookcase which is off-center, etc. The LR is also narrow. I ended up floating the furniture in the room and creating a focal point out of the fireplace and the illusion of symmetry. I'll try that interactive room planner next time!

I've gotta say I love "Operation" and "Perfection", but I am not sure I would say they add to my living room's decor...

I like the embroidery hoops w/ printed fabric above the bed. Nice collection and a neat way to frame fabric easily.

Fun! Got to agree that $950 seems a bit much. $450 perhaps?

5 sets total-2 sets for the master bath, and 3 between the 2 guest baths. All are of equal quality and match the color schemes of the bathrooms they reside in.

This is my least favorite room. I have enjoyed looking at a lot of Eddie's work, but this window just seems thrown together. A lot of the elements (orange & white geometric artwork, blue lamp, and area rug are great)--but the overall effect is jarring and irritating. I think the splatter painted walls and china display are what's ruining this one for me...

As others have mentioned, this room is very bottom heavy. IMO a different rug color would make the all the difference between a somewhat unpleasing design and a very attractive one. The designer does convey the collector theme well.
