I have carpet in my master and I DESPISE IT. It is SO DISGUSTING. I'm pretty sure there's mold growing underneath it, and the space is so small, it's almost impossible to get our vacuum inside--or for that vacuum to move around at all.

It is my fondest dream to get rid of that carpet and install tile. One of these days...one of these days...

Love those Scrapboxes! Bonus- it's a family company.

Sshutterbug-- it's even more practical to have a 1 bd with a baby. The reality is, it's often easier to have them in the same bed as you or as close by as possible. It's rotten to have a baby in a room at the other end of a large house, so a 1 bd is just downright practical. Sometimes baby is in your bed, sometimes baby is in his bed.

In the old days, babies and toddlers slept in the same room--or in a nursery right off the master bedroom--for years, like three. It's SO EASY for nursing.

I've known city dwellers that turned larger closets into en suite nurseries for their new babies, or simply had a smaller scale crib in the same room. It's just a lifestyle change, and with a new bundle completely upending your old life, a shared bedroom will be the least of your worries.

Enjoy the city life!

No. But you're cute for thinking that.

I actually adore that tub--since it appears to be a ceramic or porcelain press and not actual fabric.

And you know what? I'll say it, WHY NOT have some sort of awesome vinyl upholstered tub if you're the type of careful person who could pull that off? I'm too much of a disaster, but thumbs up to anyone who could.

A friend of mine and I figured this out a few years ago when we found clear glass plates at less than dollar a piece. We bought sets and have traded them back and forth for our various parties. I've added in IKEA white plates, and we simply don't have to use disposables for parties anymore.

Yes, disposables are easy, and sometimes recyclable, but there's something about real plates that communicates to your guest that you think they're worth the trouble. It's warm and fuzzy.

I have also picked up those old glass reception sets for .50 each at thrift stores. They give such an Anthropologie look with each plate pressed to look like a dahlia. I have 25 of those and love to pull them out for parties. They must have been a popular pattern back in the day, because I keep finding matching plates at different thrift stores.

Wow! What a great list!

I'm doing a green and gold in my living room. I've been looking for a green and white graphic wallpaper with no success (prefer a kelly or leaf green.)

Oh for the love. What was Morgan to do? Her four year old boy ASKED FOR a teepee party. Was she supposed to sit him down and describe the genocide? How about we take an age-appropriate view of this party? There is time enough for a lecture on this country's very checkered past--like when the boy turns 6. Let a child explore our history with innocence for a little longer.

I kind of adore. I've been trying to find a way to work with my dark silver headboard, perhaps I just need to get monochromatic with it.
