Beautiful!

I'd like to know what paint you used. We want to go with zero VOC paint but I've heard they can be hit-or-miss. If you have a recommendation, I'd love to hear it!

I like the idea of a bucket in lieu of a basket OR a black basket in lieu of, say, a pink basket. But a black bucket? Doesn't work for me.

Great to see a fellow Little Rocker on here! I love the whale watermelons - what a cute idea!

@irry - I make these too! So good and so easy.

Otherwise, I just end up having peanut butter toast on my way out the door. It isn't "make ahead" but it is fast!

Eek! I love it but I'd be afraid of sliding right on down that Seattle rain-soaked hill.

I love the first and last one! They just seem so cozy yet also light and airy. I love the storage underneath too.

I make these really good yeast rolls. Slightly crunchy on the outside and really soft and yeasty on the inside. People always think they are store bought.

This accomplishment is particularly exceptional for me because I'm not a very good baker.

Oh ick. I feel your pain. My first idea was to refuse to cook anything until your husband budges. But, he may the primary cook so that wouldn't work.

Other than that, like others said:
Get rid of the fan
Get rid of the wavy thing above the sink
Change the hardware

I also agree with others' suggestions to get rid of some of the doors up top (if hubby allows) to open things up a bit.

Good luck and congratulations!

Would I buy this stuff? No. But am I offended by it? No.

If you don't want it - don't buy it. If you don't like the advertising - don't pay attention to it. But there is no need to judge those who buy this and other similar products.

Honestly, I think I like the before better! It just looks more comfy. I think the after has a bit too much going on - but I love the wallpaper!

We use cloth diapers so we needed a bag with lots of room. Since I didn't have any huge purses lying around, we did end up buying a tote that either of us could use. It is easy to transform a regular bag into a "diaper" bag - especially if you are breastfeeding and have lots of ziplocs on hand.
