Toy snobs unite! Thanks for this review and information about new companies. I wish Toys R Us would stock more of these types of toys...I love supporting local toy stores & small online stores, but the grandparents only like TRU.

Love this room! Please tell me where you got the rolltop desk and how you refinished it! I bought one in really poor condition and want to fix it up.

Love this room! It's so sweet and perfect for a kid, but also really soothing for baby.

I LOVE this room and I love the thoughtful and sweet post. We have similar color walls and light wood Ikea furniture (what's up with husbands who don't like WHITE?!). I may copy your embroidery hoop idea. Good luck with delivery, mama! :)

Has anyone had any luck finding rolling backpacks (like little suitcases) for toddlers that are NOT emblazoned with some licensed characters?

I've had the Canon XS for 2 years and love it, especially with the "nifty fifty" fixed lens, for taking pictures of my little guy. Admittedly, my skills are basic and focusing with that lens has been a challenge since he started moving, but the camera is awesome and well worth the ~$400.

We've been using the Ikea Gulliver for over a year with an organic latex/wool and cotton cover mattress (standard size) from organicgrace.com - excellent customer service, the mattress is lovely and we plan to use it as long as we can. There is no gap - it's very tight around the crib. Good luck!

SLPmama that was totally uncalled for. This is a beautiful, calm room that was made with love. There is plenty of whimsy and fun for a baby. Nice job. :)
