Forget the crib, what is the source for that cool changing table / dresser thing in the picture?

My SIL has a set in her kitchen, I was JUST thinking about getting a set for my daughter to use as a nesting toy...

bodicegoddess I agree, I've been trying to find one that works but doesn't break the bank...so far no luck.

We just took our 7.5 month old camping for the first time and it went great! We borrowed a friend's pack n play, put it in the tent for sleeping at night (we have a big tent, I'd reccommend a big tent!), and during the day we would take it out so she could hang out in there safely when we needed some down time. (We were with friends though so there was usually someone eager to take a turn holding and playing with her. We also brought our baby bjorn bouncy chair, great for putting her in during camp set up and take down so she could watch the action. And a soft carrier. Also if you're breastfeeding that makes feeder your baby so convenient. Have fun! I can't wait until next year, I plan to get her one of those peapod tents the others have mentioned.

We went for a firm sofa instead of a comfy one because we liked the look. We spent a lot of time in stores lounging on various modern sofas to see if we were sure it would be comfortable enough. Glad to say we love our sofa - and it has softened up in the year or two we've owned it. We also have some comfy pillows and blankets on hand and I consider it a success that we have been known to snuggle up on it for a movie only to pass out half way through :)

I went inside our bedroom closet once so I could pop out and scare hubby. Turns out there was no nob on the inside and what might have been a safety latch at one time was completely immovable. So instead of scaring him I had to knock on the door and ask him to let me out! :)

ooh ooh the Molo Tea Lantern is so cool. I love tea sets. I'm banned from buying any more. (for now...muhaahaa)

I think ladymantle is at the wrong blog. This is a place for design, not politics, thankyou.

I have one of the common ikea wicker baskets turned upside-down as a night stand right now. It's small enough to fit in the small wall space between the bed and the closet door. And since it was lying around the house not being used at the moment, it was free.

Actually, the editor said they preferred round, not the person with the question, so other shapes are still "on the table" :)

I've been pining for a carera marble top table. Your chairs would look good with that. Check out Room and Board - you can build your own table from a variety of types of wood, stone, glass, and leg finishes.
