I don't understand the dining chairs all on one side of the table. Is that staged? Or do they eat that way?

Great post. I strive to be this way, but it is so hard to put it into practice.
This is a great reminder to live my life the way that I want it to be!

I also bought furniture from this "set" on craigslist and redid it. Two dressers and a nightstand for my daughter's room. Mine is now spray painted a funky chartreuse. I was originally looking for new hardware too, but I ended up spraying it a matte black (mine was gold) and it looks great! So different in a new color. I would recommend at least trying to spray your hardware first, before buying something else.
I would do a high gloss navy blue with black hardware. Or something else that is kind of loud. In a cheap piece of furniture like this, I think going the wood/stain route is a mistake. It isn't nice wood in the first place. Painting it a fun color gives it a wow factor.
I do like your gray idea too.

It does come with a blood pressure cuff! Everything in here gets a ton of use. It is one of my daughter's favorite games.

LOVE the twilight turtle too (we have the ladybug, but same thing). I have the much more expensive J Schatz star egg nightlight and it just isn't as easy to use and loved as our ladybugs!
I use a changing table and wouldn't want to not have all of my stuff set up and ready to go at all times! I also love my glider and did have a rocker first and much prefer the glider. Also like the Crane cool mist humidifier for when kids are sick. I like having an mp3 or CD player, for soothing lullabies. And lots of books.
I have also found that the more gender neutral the nursery, the better...if you are having multiple children. I have kept the room the same and created beautiful toddler rooms when the time comes. My crib bedding is white linen and will be used for all children and then handed down to my babies eventually!
Oh, and video monitor.

I love the Learning Tower and after friends have seen my daughter spending time with me in the kitchen, we have inspired the purchase of at least 4 more! It truly is great to allow them to be so independent and included at the same time.
That said, I wouldn't want one with enclosed sides. I really think that the main thing that she loves is climbing in and out herself. The Learning Tower is huge!!! But she has been in it with friends on many occasions. Much better than any stool or chair. It is not just for helping, it is for hanging out and spending time in the kitchen together. She snacks, plays, helps, etc. all in The Learning Tower. We use a regular step stool for washing hands, but get so much enjoyment out of our Learning Tower it is definitely worth it.

I agree. I would not use a sunscreen with those chemicals. I have been using a spray this summer...
