Lovely home! Kind of a strange comment, but it looks like the Stokke crib in your son's room has the old mattress. They were recalled about 2 1/2 years ago. You can call them up and they'll just pop a new, larger one in the mail. Oh my god, I just became one of those weird blog commenters.

Build It Green in Long Island City has a constantly changing stock of lumber, as well as aisles and aisles of old solid core doors, which can be ripped down and used for some projects.

My son and I do it with colored tissue paper scraps, and then put them on windows. it's a really nice, abstract stained glass effect. I'll often cut the contact paper down to simple shapes of things we have been talking about lately, like birds or hearts around valentines day, etc. Once the collage is done, you can either stick it directly onto the window or laminate the collage with another piece of contact paper. That way you can hold on to them for a while, or send them off as a nifty little gift to the grandparents.

And you can find rolls of clear contact paper at most hardware and home goods stores.

You can use a salvaged bicycle wheel as the armature of a DIY mobile, or even a light fixture.

Well gathered, Sarah. Congrats on the deserved shout outs, JC, HT and Kreatelier. Missing you terribly, Little Rhody.

Thanks Klin...
Using your info, I figured out that it is called the "bundle bag" here in the States, and found it on several sites for about $54.

Thanks for all of the great feedback. We really miss this room and it's great to be able to see it on Ohdeedoh and share it with everyone.

The Bench/Bookcase is simply the Ikea Expedit, used horizontally. It's fantastically sturdy.

The dresser is a piece I picked up on Providence Craigslist, along with it's matching tall dresser, for a really low price tag. They both lived in our room until Ozzy came along. The long (probably almost 6'), low dresser is a perfect height for a changing table, and having all of that extra space up top is great for storing diapers, etc.

The paint color, I think, is Benjamin Moore Hibiscus. With the changing light, it shifts from greenish to yellowish all day long, which I loved. Didn't look so great at night, under the overhead light, though.

Thanks, again!

A toy car in each hand seems to satisfy our son on trips, but if your kiddos aren't as easy to please, a car seat organizer is a great way to stash a bunch of bells and whistles...

If you can't find the time or the skill set to sew your own car seat organizer, we sell them here:

We have more patterns in stock now--mostly of the striped or polka-dotted nature, so stop by if you are a Providence local or drop us a line.
