Fantastic! how tall are the ceiling heights now? we're in a studio loft (with 10-12 foot ceilings) and we've been contemplating a lofted sleeping area over our kitchen for years and now even more so since we have a little one on the way!

We are in a very similar situation - 667 square feet studio loft, expecting our first in 3 months. We considered building walls or lofting our bed and putting the crib under (we may still do this) but we've just opted to all live in one big space together with areas demarked by natural divides like the line of a couch or a few plants. Perhaps it will be too light filled or loud for our baby to sleep and then we'll have to regroup, but for now - it it what it is. We converted some shelves near our bed to baby gear shelves and put an idea grundtal rail under one shelf for hanging space, found a cottage sized dresser and are putting the keekaroo changing pad on top (no sheets for changing pad = less linens!) and got a smaller size crib and put it on locking wheels so we can move it to darker corners if need be.

What are your ceiling heights? If they are tall enough, consider lofting your bed and putting the crib/baby gear under.

I realized it's been a while... but we also live in a loft in Boston and have been trying to find the right person/company to design/build a lofted bed for us (also, ideally hanging from the ceiling.) Can you please tell me who you used and how to contact them? Thank you!

That looks just like our table - which is the Big Sur Table from Crate and Barrell. Comes in two sizes - I think this is the longer of the two. It's solid white oak and when I say solid, I mean solid. It's fantastic. We have it paired with white Panton chairs but I'm loving the look with the metal.

There's a hot tub place in Asheville, NC. And if you're ever in Boston - I own a wellness spa in which we use 2 wooden hot tubs. We used Roberts Hot Tubs, out of CA, but the tub assembly was relatively the same. (and the place in Boston is called Inman Oasis.)

I agree - a soak in the wooden tub is divine!

I also got a great, skinny but 6' tall tree at Target. And they have some nice, not super garish, ornaments.

Paper whites - not sure, we bought a ton of them years ago at Costco of all places. I would call Petal and Leaf in JP - they have great flowers and are great about accomadating special orders.

Fluffy talking dog aliens. Because seriously, one day my dog will talk.
And if it was still early on in the day - "Mars" by Lori Mckenna, but if it's a Friday night and I'm getting ready to go out - then we'd have to jam to "Bodysnatchers" by Radiohead.

ditto the couch comment... where can i get one?

Give context and depth to your photos by not always centering the subject. My best photos are always the portraits when the subject is a bit off center.

I'd love to know if there are modern wood pellet stoves out there... we've been looking and all we can find are these awful clunkers.
