The things I REALLY used with my kids are a Boppy nursing pillow, bath seat (then cheap bathmat to stop slipping) Medella Pump (wouldn't need if I didn't go back to work), carset, highchair, First Years umbrellaish stroller and Ergo baby sling. Snuggle nest/ co-sleeper/ crib were all expensive things my kids refused to sleep in. Never used the changing table much and swing/ pack & play were gifts that others thought we "needed" but just turned into clothes racks and toy holders. If your kids are early movers they will probably hate swings, exersaucers, jumpers etc so I would wait to see on that.

My husband is in love with this - and if our son wasn't due in less then 48 hours and our nursery wasn't totally done I am pretty sure that he would make me copy this room exactly - then move into it :) At least I have a yoda print in our room, it will have to be enough for now. Well done

This is great - when I went to the blog I expected the $75 to be paint and eveything else was "borrowed" from other rooms but you actually bought most of the pieces in here - amazing. Can you come to my house and fix my family room - I can even double your budget :)

This reminds me of my dad's answer "of what" whenever I would ask him what his favorite color was when I was little. Lots of people have a favorite color for shirts that is different then faovrite color for cars etc. I wonder if the orange thing has to do with cataracts and other eye issues in the elderly, my grandma loved her carpet and couches, until she got her cataracts removed - then she wondered why my grandfather let her buy pinkish couches :)

It was a horrible idea - you should sell the rug to me :) Great rug - I would do silver, bright red and orange as well as dark woods and mirrors. Look for weird/ outside the box things to hang on the wall as well as artwork to keep things interesting.

Noa & Stuart - great house, so much personality and fun that it wasn't sterilized to the point that it doesn't look like real people could ever live there. It also makes me nostalgic for the days when I can leave things out at child level again and they won't be broken/ eaten :) I have a very similar deer foot "candle holder". Mine is an ashtray, snagged it from my grandparents house as things were being cleaned out after they both passed away. Unfortunately mine is stuffed in a drawer (vegetarian husband isn't a big fan) but seeing yours made me think of them - thanks for the tour.
