gorgeous. This is by far my favorite room.. I agree with lizza though, the bear mask is creepy! Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Ohdeedoh Kids' Color Contest Entry #32: Sophia's Sunshine Flag this comment	11/4/08 2:25 PM
I love it but I do find having the crib next to a brick wall seems a bit cold/harsh.... either way, soooo sweet and creative!! Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Ohdeedoh Kids' Color Contest Entry #30: Grey Background Flag this comment	11/4/08 9:45 AM

it is beautiful but that crib also looks incredibly dangerous - perfect for little heads to get stuck in. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Patchwork Baby Wall Ohdeedoh in Europe - Paris Flag this comment	8/12/08 9:40 AM
"It seems that the discomfort is coming mostly from the younger parents. Maybe they are still "immature" enough to really care what other people think and worry about being judged - regardless of whether there is judging going on. Or maybe there is a gap but the older parents don't let it get to them? posted by sebnmg on 2008-01-23 10:51:46 view sebnmg's profile " sebnmg, while I understand what you are saying you might want to look at it from another perspective. Since more and more women are having children later on in life they aren't the ones who are feeling alienated, it's the younger parents so although it might be easy for you to chalk it up to being "immature" it may be that "younger" parents really don't feel that they are fitting in.

I'm a "young" mom of two (27), soon to be three and sure I have felt a bit awkward about having children so soon. I did finish college but most (if not all) my friends went on to university and grad school... many of them are still in school! That being said I am proud to be a young mom, I think although being a young parent has it's challenges, parenthood at a young age allows you to grow with your child. I do admit though when I go to play groups it can be weird talking with women 10 years older than me but more because I don't have much in common (I don't have a mortgage or a car and my husband doesn't travel on business... I know, I'm generalising) and I fear saying something that would seem immature (I look younger than I am) but apart from that I have learnt to look past the age and focus on our similarities... our kids!!!

yeah cute, but this idea comes from wee gallery no? Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Look! The Scoop Mobile Flag this comment	12/21/07 3:39 AM
get out the sand toys... really 3 year olds don't need much to have fun in the snow. - to be clear I have a 3 year old and I live in Montreal (lots of snow). Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Good Questions: Snow Fun Flag this comment	12/12/07 3:34 AM
amazing! Would it be weird to carry that clutch at an adult only party? Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Holiday Gift Bag #2: Win A Dante Beatrix Envelope Tiger Tee Flag this comment	12/5/07 6:45 AM
fun!! Why is it that kids love to talk on the phone so much anyway? Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Holiday Gift Bag #3: Win The Chatter Telephone Flag this comment	12/5/07 6:44 AM
wow these are some lists! I would say a nursing pillow is definately a must. If it's cold where you are get a bunting bag for your infant car seat (saves on those tricky snowsuits) PS Sorry daisyh but DON'T take the formula samples!!! Breastfeeding is tough in the beginnning you don't need those samples taunting you and your husband the whole time. In many hospitals in Canada they don't even give them out anymore... think about it. Apartment Therapy - Good Questions: Newborn Essentials List Flag this comment	11/16/07 10:29 AM

okay, I understand decorating a nursery but when I was a kid I wanted to decorate my own room. What ever happened to cheap posters and collages? I think parents who grout mini bricks and consult with engineers to do so need to spend more time with their families. I mean common!!!

The crib is nice and all but what about the baby looking out? Those circles would make me dizzy.,,, Apartment Therapy - Look! Handmade crib and high chair Flag this comment	11/12/07 12:17 PM
yeah, I have to agree.. what's with Audry above the crib? I'm all for originality but that's kinda weird, no? Apartment Therapy - # 5 - Harriet's Apple Green Getaway Flag this comment	10/19/07 12:41 PM
wonderful! Apartment Therapy - Flickr Finds: The Giving Tree Flag this comment	10/4/07 11:51 AM
it's cute but there is no way you would see that in our apartment. Images of my 3 year old wacking her baby sister with it are dancing through my head. And what if you have only one child?! Common!
