I love that rug. What you need are more substantial curtains in linen or burlap edged in a mini pom pom trim in yellow or red. And paint the walls!

I wish every house tour ended with a floor plan. That would be handy.

My bubs slept in the bassinet that came with our UppaBaby Vista stroller. It worked great until she could sit herself up. We never used the bassinet with the stroller and bought a $50 rocking stand custom made to fit the bassinet. The rocking motion was the greatest thing ever and would calm her down like nobody's business.

My Organic Market
the Takoma co-op
the Amish markets in Laurel and Upper Marlboro
and the other co-op outside DC near Brentwood Glut Food

I also have IKEA cabinets and I prefer them over the builder's Home Depot cabinetry that came with the house. And they are study.

If you can't find wallpaper remnants, then how about fancy wrapping paper? And then I guess you would shellac it for durability.

Cute, but how are they allowed to make and sell licensed images without the permission of the owner (Bender and Snow White I am looking at you)?

everyone likes to put a bird on it.

a slideshow would be best for posts like this. though some of these mobiles are not really aimed for the kidlet underneath, but more for the adult looking at eye level. do mobile designers not lie down underneath their creations to see the child's point of view?

I use a laptap lunch box from laptaplunches.com which is plastic, has removable compartments and is microwavable. And I believe much cheaper than the items in this post.

the wallpaper is from trove. I'm not sure if they make it this season or not, but on the sample I received a year or so ago, they say they do special orders and commissions.

Manjari: are you allergic to anything else? You could be having a reaction to the pollen in the honey and not the honey itself. Have you been skin tested for allergies?
