We also have the Applaro. It has held up well over 1 Southern California winter. The chairs are not comfortable, though. (Ours don't fold.) I'm about to order some custom cushions for this summer, because I can't find any I like in the right size.

Beautiful room!

I think many girls would be right at home amongst the "woodsy, nautical, aviation, farm, and science" decorations, too!

I agree - something in the blue family.

Like the fabric! Would have preferred the old wood with it.

I like the look of the footstool, but I would worry about keeping it clean. Babies are (or at least mine was) messy. I had breastmilk and spit up splattered all over my rocking chair.

Portlandrules, it may make you feel better about your tax dollars if you consider that a childless society poses severe demographic problems that will shrink the economy and make it hard for people to retire and to be cared for in their retirement. I think it's kind of obvious why periods of economic times are more traumatic for people with children. They have more people to take care of for a given income! BTW, I do agree that people are not usually being kind when they talk about "lifestyle choice", and that makes me angry, too.

- My current living room is smaller than the one I was living in when I bought my furniture. I like a sofa big enough to lie down on and a small side table on both sides to hold drinks when I am sitting. However, our living room is barely wide enough to have this *and* walking room on both sides of the couch. I could get a smaller couch, but then I couldn't stretch out. And then my long ottoman/coffee table would be too long. I love putting my feet up on something soft!

- I think I need a 7x7 rug, which is hard to find. This fits the area where my furniture sits without causing a trip hazard when you open the front door or travel to the other rooms.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I would put a television over a piano if that's where both items fit. They don't interfere with each other. I really don't see the problem.

Lots to like here. However, I found the "ZIP IT!" sign surprisingly off-putting.
