I totally agree with @sherrieakin! All the "Dream" posts should include a puppy!

Wow. More, please. Frequently I complain that the House Tours are not edited down enough, but in this case I am wanting more. Just Spectacular.

My problem with this tour is that there were too many photos. It needed to be edited better. It was just too much. I groaned when I clicked "show thumbnails" and there were so many photos, and sure enough, many were completely unneccesary.

Awesome! The blue looks beautiful with the wood and I love that you didn't do too much, but what you did had an amazing impact.

Yep. I'll wait this one out and hopefully next week's trend will have more appeal.

Very fresh looking. This doesn't look like all the other rooms, and I mean that in the best possible way.

I'd also love to know about the print above the daybed... the blue one with the shark...

My almost 5 year old sucks her thumb and I haven't given too much thought to making her stop. It is such a comfort to her, along with her blankie, and she is so happy every day, I don't want to take that away yet. Of course I have pangs of worry about what it's doing to her teeth, but I have more, larger pang when I think about what taking it away might do to her!

I have loved that decal for months, and I'm not sure it would work in my house, but I've had it on my wishlist, and I'm so glad to see someone else use it! It looks amazing.

I wish my parents would buy me a David Trubridge pendant for my bedroom. I love the new ones with the colored inside.

Was about to post about the HD ad, too. It covers up fully 1/3 of the effing pictures. ON EVERY PAGE of the tour. REALLY awful, and as Vanessa mentions, you can't turn it off. I tried changing my pop up settings and my flash setting but could not get rid of it and it was covering up a fair amount of the pictures!!!

It is OK to paint it. Just Fine. But, if you're wavering, I'd say wait and live with it. You might find that with some great styling, you can make it look young and fresh and modern. In fact, the contrast of an older, darker piece, with clean white modern accessories would be gorgeous. Cheers.

The do use fire retardants, but not the chemical ones (BFFs). My understanding is that they use silica instead (the same way baking wares are made from silicone.) We similarly bought an Ikea mattress for my daughter to avoid chemical fire retardants and an enormous outlay of cash.

I don't remember which mattress we got, but it was pointed out to me that given the weight of the child, they really don't need all the support adults need. Of course, you want to get something of decent quality, but if your supposed to replace it in 10 years... it's never going to get a ton of wear and tear weight-wise.

Alrighty. Just confirmed I read too many blogs/shelter mags: not only did I get them all right, but 3 of the 4 I identified BEFORE I read the designers listed because I've seen all their apartments in mags.

I tried everything until I saw a neighbor used gallon ziplocks, and they worked so much better than everything! Here's the thing: kids can see everything inside, so there is no need to dump everything out, which makes cleanup much easier. I put markers in one bag, crayons in one, etc. then the ziplocks all go in one big basket.

I don't ordinarily use ziplocks for lunches, etc. but since I'm using them for years at a time, I think it's justifiable. (BTW, you'll want to use heavy duty freezer bags so they hold up!)

Yeah, add me to the consensus who think the host parents REALLY screwed up. I've had similar parties for my daughter (drop off with location changes), and we always make sure we do head counts and we make sure there is a ration of 1 adult for every 2 kids so we are certain everyone is accounted for.
