I love that pink and black room above -- it actually looks like a fresh take on the now somewhat ubiquitous pink and chocolate brown combination in baby design.

Oh man, stroller politics are so ridiculously junior high. We have a Bugaboo Cameleon and a Maclaren Volo. Not sure (and don't care) what that says about us.

I'm also creeped out by this -- very baby-as-horseshoe-crab-in-terrarium. I would be similarly very concerned about the lack of airflow, particularly given how deep those sides are! When we were choosing a crib, my husband wouldn't even consider the ones that have solid head/footboards because they didn't have slats on all four sides for maximum air circulation. I suppose you could try to address this by drilling holes in the plexiglass side without compromising the overall design, but I'm afraid that wouldn't save it for me. Even if I could breathe and not get overheated, would I want to sleep in a plexiglass case? Um, no.

Coincidentally, it also reminds me of the new "Ledge" on the top of the Sears Tower which opens today. Not sure that's a good thing.

For $15 less (not a huge cost difference, I know), you can buy the DwellStudio for Target Fisher Price bouncer which also comes with the iPod docking station. We're really happy with ours!

the art looks great.

will you share the wall color? (anne says it looks like c2 buttermilk, but would love to know what it is exactly). i've been looking for something similar, not too yellow, but still warm... almost reminds me of the color of masking tape. i mean that in a good way!
