Very nice. Saw something similar the other day while shopping for a bed for my son http://www.vac.ch/enfants/enfants-chambre-d-enfant/lit-superpose.html but your version is much nicer :-)

I love all the mirrors in the house. Ditto on the giant square mirror in the living room - envy.

My kids are only a year apart, I put them both in their high chair in our bathroom while I shower. I've heard of so many accidents with small children left unattended for just a few seconds (just even in my circle of friends) that it's not worth taking a risk.

Yes, children sleep, but no, it usually doesn't coincide with the typical shower-taking hours of the morning before heading off to work.


Real Life @ Home: How's a New Mom Supposed to Shower?

A one day move turned into a 3-day move and having to sleep with the mattress on the floor, 9 months pregnant.

I have moved internationally over twenty times in my lifetime with no major events. Last year, I moved literally from one village to another just 5km away (in Switzerland) so did not use international movers, but local movers (mind you, recommended via a forum, etc.).

We were getting our house built and of course construction ran late (one month). We were scheduled to move in 3 days before I was scheduled to give birth to our second child. The movers were supposed to pack, move, and unpack.

The 1 day move turned into a 3-day nightmare. We ended up having to sleep with the mattress on the living room floor the first night as it was midnight and they still hadn't rebuilt the bed.

On the bright side, the stress provoke an early birth. I gave birth exactly on-time, but unfortunately had to come home with a new baby to a disorganized home (I'm a total clean & organization freak) :-)

I had several special artists' edition Louis Vuitton scarves (a tiny bit larger than Hermès scarves) framed over ten years ago with museum glass/UV protection as well - totally worth the extra money as all the colors are as vibrant as ever. I always get compliments on my "paintings" (people think they are hand-painted art) as the framer did an amazing job.

Hi Kristen - lovely home! Can I ask where you got your giant block letters from? Thanks in advance.
