Love this. I can actually see my kids consulting this before they eat stuff.

To me some of these are not just crosses, but red crosses, as in the Red Cross. That pillow - it seems that it should be filled with band aids.

We currently own an Ikea sofa we've had for more than 10 years. We've replaced the covers a couple of times. With three little kids, it will have to make do. A machine washable, and easily replaceable, cover is a must.

Love! I wish it wouldn't get overrun with all kids of toys once he's older - that's the "problem" we had with our baby rooms. They start out amazingly white and pastel-y, and then, boom! - Fisher Price takes over! We went with it and moved to primary, strong covers when the kids got a little older.

Bed bugs are my no. 1 concern when I look at used furniture.
And I love that Walmart side table - just spent considerable time on Walmart's site looking for it, but they don't seem to carry it anymore. If you didn't see the sticker, you'd never know.

Some Ikeas - at least my local one in Hicksville, Long Island - have a door straight to the Warehouse on the lower floor. It's small and not very visible, but once you know where it is, it's easy to skip the upper floor. My Ikea also has the frames, dishes, storage downstairs, not upstairs.

Proud to say that I try to clean out and wipe the fridge at least once every two weeks - but I need to tackle the kitchen drawers and the mess of glasses we have.
A good addition to the list would be to actually WASH all the glasses - we cook with gas, and our glasses get kind of grimy if they're not used a lot, like champagne or martini glasses.

I think this looks amazing for a girl's room. That said, I would never do it in my house.

I love owls, yet I'm so over them by now, they're everywhere. Maybe foxes are the new owls.

Thank you so much for the info on the mini crib HITHERANDTHITHER. We're expecting a baby in July and have very little space, and I really want the minicrib, but can't decide if it's worth it.

I love them. I did one of my mother, which is kind of stylized and not photorealistic at all, and l also have a couple black and white ones of me as a child that my parents comissioned. I'm always drawn to portraits, I find them so interesting - either people I know or strangers.

I ordered foam for exactly this purpose from Foam by Mail. www.foambymail.com
It's a bit tricky to measure it right so it actually fits perfectly.

I can't decide if it's too Rube Goldberg, or dangerous, or awesomely fun. In our house, it would certainly be broken in a day.

We have a crazy colorful rug from Urban Outfitters in our all-white, dark brown floor, kitchen, and it looks great.

I agree with MrsHervi on pale grey, dark navy and a muted orange. Benjamin Moore Jack O'Lantern is a very pleasant orange. Also, this rug would look great in the room. http://www.landofnod.com/kids-wool-rugs/kids-room-decor/bold-stripe-rug/f4900
