This article describes me perfectly! I said from day one that I refused to purchase any textiles from a big name store. I don't want to look at trucks, butterflies, princesses or fuzzy little teddy bears all day! My goal in decorating my son's nursery was to make a relaxing yet fun environment for him to grow in. I chose patterns he would enjoy for years to come instead of babyish ones that he would quickly out grow. I bought the handmade bedding from a couple Etsy shops and made his curtains out of table cloths from Anthropologie. His room is one of a kind and not only is it not an eyesore for me, he loves it too.

I have gates that were intended for pets and they screw into the wall and are very sturdy. I actually find them much sturdier than any "baby gate" I've purchased previously. Also, they have the swing opening in the middle which makes it easy to open and get through while carrying a child.

Love the crib! Wish I had seen that before purchasing mine recently!

I have Flor tiles in my living room and love them! Any time I've had a tile get dirty I just take it up, run the dirty spot under the faucet then prop the tile up to let it dry. It is very quick and easy to clean! My Flor tiles are the "Well Suited" style which is for high traffic areas and they vacuum easily (I vacuum every single day as I have 4 dogs!). I highly recommend them!

I've been trying to find an abacus for my nursery. Where did you get yours from?
