Wow, I'm really impressed that you could make such a tiny space feel so cozy and welcoming. Way to go!
Is that crib custom? It could be a trick of the eye but it seems very narrow. I'm curious what your plans are for when your little one grows out of the crib?

Number 3 from your list was actually my design inspiration for my upcoming baby's nursery. Before we knew the gender we painted neutral gray walls and white trim. When we found out we were having a boy my vision remained the same for the room. I had one rule- nothing too "baby" so he could grow into it. When i found a rug that spoke to me (a super fun, moroccan inspired, multi-color number) everything else stemmed from there. It's very eclectic (my mother in law has no idea what to think! No theme!? Appalling!) and we love it. We cant wait until our bouncing baby boy makes it his own.

OH! and on Crackle.com you can watch Bottle Rocket (Wes Andersons's first hit) for free. Totally worth it.

Awesome! It worked for me! Thank so much for the reply!

Unless there is something I missed the Box offer is incorrect. According to Box's website only the first 5 GBs are free. To get 50 GB you must pay $19/month.
AT- am I missing something? Please let me know, I'd like to take advantage of that deal if the offer stands.

A good rule of thumb for dealing with copy-written material: If you or someone else is making money off the duplication it's a no no. So, in this case, the printer (Spoonflower, Cafe Press, Skreened, or even a local individual) is liable so most, if not all, of those big name companies won't allow the print to be processed. They pay lawyers huge chunks of money to protect them form just these sorts of legal situations.
That being said, no one should be judging you for not knowing. So if any judge-y folks show up in this comment thread, simply disregard them. You've done the right thing by asking about it.

I just recently had a bad experience with my rarely used iron. Water that I had left in the reservoir turned kind of rust colored over time. I didn't notice this until it spewed red rust colored spots all over my new white drapes when I tried to steam the wrinkles out.
BAD NEWS which resulted in a frenzy of spot cleaning and praying. I will remember to drain the reservoir next time i use it so that this wont happen again.

I'm not sure where i saw it (probably AT) but there is a Hanging Spiral Xmas Tree that you can suspend from your ceiling. I found something similar here:

Also, I like the "hanging ornaments in the shape of a tree" idea. Hope this helps!

I love this chair and i was considering it for my nursery (im due in april) but i've heard from friends that it is so low it is difficult to get out of post delivery and with a baby in arm.
Can anyone give their feedback? I'd like to get more opinions on the subject of practicality before i blow a few hundred on one.

I have a very modern leather couch. I bought it six years ago after graduating college and securing a job. My first "big girl purchase." It is beautiful but for the first, say, four years it wasn't comfortable. It was very stiff. Though through the years and trying out different kinds of leather conditioners (btw- Mr. Leather is my current cheap fav) it has worn in well. But with that comes other issues like the fact that I must constantly rotate cushions so they dont flatten out unevenly. Also, the areas thast didnt wear in and become soft, like the arms and edges of cushions, are starting to tear. Yup. Im pretty devastated. Not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions out there?
All in all I would give leather a thumbs up but i might not purchase it as my next couch. I'd like to try out a heavy wool tweed or felt. Im still waiting for my mother to finally give up her MCM couch that i coveted as a child. Sigh. Until then it sit, unused, in her basement.
