My daughters have the Plan Toys dollhouse families and Calico Critters, but the ones they love and play with the most are their Budkins dolls! http://www.budkins.com/home.html They're from the UK, but you can find some of them on Amazon.

We lived in a 1-bedroom in Brooklyn until our daughter was 18 months old. We divided up our living room into 2 spaces with a Norrebo shelving unit from Ikea: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/shelving-storage/great-simple-affordable-shelves-063570 We used one half of the room as our daughter's play area and designated the bottom 2 shelves of the Norrebo for her books and toys. We also had her changing table in her area of the living room. We decorated her play area with wall decals and a mobile to make it colorful. We had her crib in our bedroom, which worked out just fine. Making a One Bedroom More Baby-Friendly Good Questions \| Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh Flag this comment	3/31/10 1:10 PM
I also go my tubtrugs at Gardeners.com. Each of my daughters has one to keep outdoor toys in (like balls, croquet sets, pinwheels, etc.). We keep them on our back porch. The colors they come in are great and they are so affordable. Searching For These ContainersGood Questions \| Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh Flag this comment	2/24/10 9:16 PM
I bought that same exact binder at Target a few months ago and use it for food recipes that I've either printed out or taken from my magazines. I do like the craft "recipe" idea too! How to Make a Craft Recipe BookHome Hacks \| Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh Flag this comment	2/24/10 9:06 PM
These are some things my toddler and preschooler like about their rooms: 1. Ikea Latt table & chairs 2. Boon animal bag (stores stuffed animals and doubles as a soft seat) 3. moveable wall decals (we got our from Target and Wallcandy Arts) 5. growth chart (we got our from Petit Collage) 6. Land of Nod large floor cushion for reading on 7. Land of Nod "Works of Art" clips 8. Land of Nod Strapping Floor Bins to store toys & stuffed animals 9. Lots of framed art prints on the walls We keep the majority of toys in their closets on shelves to keep the room from looking cluttered.

I also strongly recommend avoiding the Melissa & Doug push toys. We got a flapping duck as a gift and it was so hard to push even I could barely make it move. My daughters both have Selecta push toys and they love them! And they are beautifully made: http://www.maukilo.com/brands/selecta-81/9999.html Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh \| Five Toys to Get New Walkers Moving Flag this comment	9/11/09 1:17 PM
I completely agree! I love the packaging and the yummy smell, but it left my daughter's hair gummy and tacky-feeling as well. I thought I wasn't rinsing enough too! Won't buy agian for that reason. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| New Penguin from Method Kid Flag this comment	8/17/09 11:54 AM
The dress and sweater are from Children's Place, but they were bought a few years ago for her big sister. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Happy Birthday Carina Emilia Flag this comment	5/13/09 12:19 PM
My daughter has Baby Stella too and and loves her. She also has two of the other dolls from Manhattan Toy, Miss Doria and Miss Dottie. She plays with them every day and sleeps with them too. They're super soft and sweet! http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Toy-Miss-Doria-Cuddle/dp/B000E4FDKE http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Toy-Miss-Dottie-Cuddle/dp/B000E4FDK4 Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Good Questions: Sweet and Old Fashioned Baby Doll?#comments Flag this comment	4/3/09 12:33 PM
I used our Modernica "Eames" rocker with a Boppy if I wanted to rock my baby. Though it was a bit cold in the winter! Otherwise, my Ikea Poang chair w/ the matching footstool was quite comfortable.

I would put it in my daughter's bedroom. I've wanted to get the brown/green one for months! Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Thursday Giveaway: Monte Design's Cubino Chair Flag this comment	6/23/08 8:45 AM
I'd also like to know where those chairs come from. I already have that Ikea stool and it makes a great kid table! Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Food Smocks from Petite Violette Flag this comment	5/2/08 10:16 AM

I like the grey color best. I'd pack (besides diapers, of course!) lots of snacks, a bottle, crayons, coloring books, board books, Magnadoodle, a bib, and a change of baby clothes. Apartment Therapy ohdeedoh \| Thursday Giveaway: Skip Hop Via Messenger#comments Flag this comment	2/7/08 8:04 AM
