Sakinah R.'s Profile

Beautiful room, and thanks for highlighting a small one! My 3 yr old's room is about the same size (perhaps even a smidge smaller!) and I've wondered what I would have done if we lived there when I was pregnant (he never had a "nursery proper" since he shared my room until we moved about a year ago). I'd love to see what toy storage ideas these folks come up with - as that is the main issue us parents of younger kids have.

As for the bumper issue - I think parent-folk can be so judgmental. Making a comment about the AAP recommendations in the interest of being informative and being a finger pointing critical judge are two totally different things. The last thing you need when you're pregnant and hormonal is someone to judge a decision you've made so harshly. Amanda - do check the AAP's recommendations. Better to be safe than sorry.

I have a small 66sft balcony outside my 1bedroom condo that I plan to use in the summer to refinish a few Ikea pieces, but I had the (rather tacky and cumbersome) idea of taking pieces outside on the elevator when I want to spray them with anything. I just don't think my space is big enough to spray paint in without getting it all over the place. Renting a storage unit is an excellent idea, or perhaps asking a friend with a backyard/basement if you can mooch off of their space for a few hours. With larger objects, this second option is better if one of you has a car, of course.
