These seems to be an answer to a question no one has asked. A Sofa Built Into the Kitchen Island from AR-TREEuroCucina 2012 Flag this comment	4/20/12 4:06 AM
Glad to see this post as I have been wondering about these shower doors as they never worked for me in hotels. I recently removed the old shower doors in our bathroom to make it easier to bathe our two infants without trying to reach over or straddle the painful bottom of the doors. I was trying to avoid replacing the doors with shower curtains but these 1/2 doors seemed to be the only affordable other option and maybe I'm just too American but I would need to have a wet-vac in bathroom for one of these to be viable.

We had twins in January - a girl and a boy - and were determined to be gender neutral or at least gender equitable and real cheap in our nursery. We put in bamboo floors and painted the walls a bright green and a bright white. We got hand-me-down and craigslist furniture and painted it all white as well, so that the cribs didn't have to match but would still go together. We did buy some custom drawer knobs on etsy that helped harmonize the pieces as well and we got a big ol' olive green tree decal on etsy while we were there. The concept was simple, clean, green and white and it seems to work. Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh \| Tips for Gender Neutral Nursery Decor? Good Questions Flag this comment	9/1/09 3:45 PM
I hadn't considered the supermarket-line gender-identification scenario which is a legitimate unanticipated headache. Not that dogs are kids but we have a bulldog who everyone refers to as a boy even after being corrected because all bulldogs are masculine. I am sure that now before the babies come it is much easier for us to be thoughtful and "political" about gender identity, but in a couple months we will just grab whatever is closest and cleanest to put on them, be it white, green, pink, blue or orange with brown stains.

My wife and I are expecting twins in January - a boy and a girl - and have been really surprised by the amount of gender specificity in all the baby stuff. Partly because iwe're having one of each and partly because that's just how we are we went with green and white for the nursery. We went through all the stuff we got (and sincerely appreciated) to pull out "Dad's Li'l Slugger" and "Pretty Princess" items in favor of more simple and neutral designs. If the kids decide they like pink and blue later on, well, that's cool. I just don't want them to be forced into being branded right from the get go.

Super sweet. Simple, functional and repurposable. Would go great in our nursery, or our room. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Tree Stacking Cabinet by Chigo Flag this comment	12/4/08 5:09 PM
My wife and I have built in 12 foot tall bookshelves that dominate our den/living room. It's been a bear trying to figure out that magic moment when it changes from cool and colorful to just plain clutter.
