Just an FYI for people reading iuxta's comment and thinking it true, that's actually not a typical day.... Nor are our winters rainy or that cold. While it might be grey, winter's often Melbourne's driest season.

This is a great house though, and it's nice to see it on AT.

She 'discovered' it? This idea has been around forever, and I'm a bit surprised as I thought AT had already featured this tip. I've had photos of mine printed this way for years.

Oh my god. I can't believe the above naivety and stupidity actually exists in the AT community.

Total lol-town over here.
The only thing funnier than the post, is all the commenters and their outrage, threats and general 1st world problems!

This is lovely, and very well put-together but the negative nelly in me wants to point out that whilst you might not have had a 'theme', you have definitely stuck to a pretty definite colour scheme which isn't something I'd expect of a 'no-theme' nursery.

I have a guilt-trip every Christmas, but it's my own making. My parents would hate to know I stress about it.
I've always wanted to be equal (ie take turns) but there are other factors such as it's much more expensive to visit my dad + family as he's further away. There's also the fact that as my mum's only child, she'd be alone. My dad remarried and had two more kids. I don't speak to my uncle (dads brother) after he was particularly nasty to me over something, so if my dad is having an extended family christmas, I'd rather not go.

After a crazy roadtrip last year where I tried to spend as much time with both sides of the family and ended up exhausting myself and my bank account, and because next year I expect to have my own little one to consider (and I'm saving furiously for that!), I drew the line. This year I said "no, I'm staying put, you can come to me. No Christmas presents unless I actually see you on the day (and I expect the same in return, I'm not a grinch!)". The response to this was that my mum was happy to pay for me to join her, while my dad just said 'great, maybe next year'. Of course then I got guilty and forked out the considerable cash to join them on their annual summer holiday. Sigh.

Excuse me? What's wrong with you today? Because I don't like one style of chair, nor find it comfortable, I "lack the ability to appreciate beauty". Eff you, grow up.

As I've gotten older, I've realised that most of my grandparents furniture pieces would now be considered "modern classics".
They had Wassily chairs in their sunroom. As a child and teen, I thought them the ugliest, most uncomfortable chairs I'd ever encountered. I visited their house recently, and I still think that!

@bijou330 - oh, awkward... I was being facetious!

That being said, while I agree this dresser had nowhere to go but up, this isn't my pick of re-do's. I don't find the 'art' very appealing.

@elvisphile... ah, yes you can. just because it's not a train, doesn't mean it's not an option.
