the funny thing about white outside is that the sun tends to bleach everything over time. even chocolate ice cream that my two year old got all over our white outdoor cushions.

that's hilarious! my husband recorded audio of our screaming, crying infant boys with the intention to play it randomly in the middle of the night when they are like 15 years old and being pain in the butts.

yes and no, the bed frame and guard rail are from ikea but i modified them a bit. i wanted the bed to be low to the ground (my son was only 19 month's old when we moved him) so i took the 12" legs off the bed frame and replaced them with 3" locking casters and bought 12" metal straps and screwed the guard rail directly into the inside of the bed frame. the hardware that came with the guard rail didn't fit on the frame, it's made for toddler size beds, we wanted something with a bit more longevity.

the storage unit is one of ikea's lack pieces. i made the storage bins myself as ikea didn't have bins that fit it. they now make a similar expedit piece that does have coordinating bins.

the shelf unit is bolted with 4 inch lag bolts to the studs. i grew up a few miles from the northridge quake epicenter. i've been through a fair share of earthquakes.

thank you for your comments

the black wall is also magnetic. the tree, leaves, moon and stars are all magnets so we can move or change it as we like.

my son is a neat freak, chalk dust is not an issue for us, he uses a spray bottle with water and a rag to clean up.

the blanket is made by david fusseneger

the poster we got at the show. it's from the fall tour 2006, that might help your search.

i say skip the toddler bed and go straight to a twin you'll have more options and it will last longer. i transitioned my son 4 months ago from the crib to a twin. i had a hard time justifying spending money on something he'd only use for a few more years and then need to buy another bed. i thought the size of it would be an issue and planned on making bolsters for the sides and top but turns out i didn't need to.
