I'm glad to hear that your son is at home. I hope that every day he gets older is a day he get stronger. You and your family have a beautiful home, but that's of course secondary to everyone's health.

I think you've hit every trend of the past year. Ala mode-o-rama!

Kitchen is darling, and looks incredibly useful, despite the size.

This is the best use of white and clear furniture that I have ever seen. Bravo!

It's wonderful, like a old-fashioned curio shop.

I was surprised that the outside was so "cottage-y" while the inside said "Lodge" to me. Very sweet, both in and out!

Love the big furniture pieces in a small space. Beautifully done.

The nursery is nice, but your papillon is the show-stealer. So adorable!

In addition to having an amazing entry, you also own what is clearly the single best thing ever to come from Walmart.

Really creative; looks great without having a lot of trendy pieces. That couch is perfect.

I think the art is hung too high over the table. Can she actually see any of it when she's seated? This room has a lot of child-friendly aspects, but simply re-thinking placement based on three-year-old height would really knock it out of the park.

We use a fitted sheet and a duvet with washable duvet cover. Then we don't have to tuck very much.

I know that a pregnancy with twins is an anything-goes experience. I'm sure the tour was scheduled months in advance, and that everyone's just trying to get along as best they can. I hope mom and babies are in top shape very soon.

We have a Comfort Sleeper from American Leather/American Upholstery. We've been reasonably happy with it for the four years we've had it. However, we recently had a problem and were frankly appalled by the poor service that we received from the company. A bolt in the hinge mechanism snapped in two, and when we contacted American Leather, they claimed that no repair could be made to the bolt, but that we could buy, for $500, a new bed mechanism and then hire, at our own expense for $150/hour, a furniture technician to install it. So rather than stand behind the product, they wanted to know if we wished to spend $650 to repair a part that failed in normal use.

Fortunately, my father is really MacGiver, and my brother has inherited all his skills, so the two of them managed to drill out and replace the broken bolt, which had simply rusted through and snapped. The couch is working again--although who knows how long the bolt on the other side will last. We were so disappointed in the service from the company and will never buy another American Leather product.
