So true! They also don't care if they have their own room or if it's got a cute theme (that's for the grown-ups)!
The only thing I would add is some kind of carrier (sling or baby bjorn type) is so handy and was like a 2nd pair of arms.
Used the pack and play all of about 2x for 2 kids. Didn't have a crib for the first child, but had a moses basket.
All they really want is love, food, clean diaper and lots of time with you!

I absolutely love it! Reminds me of my 70s design books like Conran's house book. She did so much with so little space! I'm sure it wasn't cheap, but it looks fantastic.

Wow! I wish I had seen that before I got rid of a bunch of those that needed a makeover!

B looks like a Wegner chair, I'll say B.

Good idea! I was just thinking about lamp cords. I'm going to do kind of a swag thing over my bed with 2 lamps (on either side), run the cord through chain and cover the shades with Marrimekko fabric. Did you build your shelves? They really look gorgeous!

My parents have had a couple of great faux-Eames lounger chairs and a faux Barcelona chair for ages. They are beautiful and have lasted for at least 30 years. An item can be a repro and still be of good quality. I think of that office chair as a very precise design in engineering, if that makes sense. It's meant to be very comfortable for long periods of work, so I can understand why you would want to make a greater investment in the real deal.

I love
The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes with illustrations by Marjorie Flack. I have a copy that's kind of ripped, so I thought I might frame one of them to go over my desk. I've also sold teacher book sized Dick and Jane pages from the 50s (I'm all out) which are sweet.
