And don't forget to boil the seeds for a conditioning hair gel!

Love the natural light, love that your furniture is lifted away from the ground, giving that light and airy feel. It feels like with colors you didn't go with a 'scheme' necessarily, but it all comes together well. One of my favorites!

It's nice, but I was expecting something with more....oomph.

I read somewhere that the standard used to be blue for girls and pink for boys - something about red being a masculine color and pink being a gentler, calmer color for baby boys.

Here's an article I turned up: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/When-Did-Girls-Start-Wearing-Pink.html

Not too unusual, just oddly shaped. That last one would get knocked over in a minute by my 3 year old. Heck, I'd probably join him in playing Book Catapult.

@Rainarana: We had the same issue, then decided it wasn't working having only a desktop. We use a CPU and wi-fi, which we hide under the bed, and use our laptops to work off the wi-fi. That way we can use any flat surface (dining room table, coffee table, our laps, etc) for work and tuck it away after we're done. Office supplies are also hidden but easily accessible. Our only challenge for the moment is hiding our printer/copier/scanner combo, it's a little on the bulky side.

The matte medium sounds like a great low-cost idea. Has anyone ever tried adding a small amount of acrylic paint to 'tint' a window? Since it would be a small amount I imagine it would come off, but there's always the possibility of staining the window, so to speak.

I second the disappointed comments...IMHO there's little to inspire in this space (certainly no offense meant to the dwellers) and isn't that why we read AT in the first place?

I almost had my hands on a 12' old wood ladder on Craigslist but someone beat me to it. I had plans to hang fabric between every other rung for toys and books, then lean it against the wall.

This concept has been practiced in Montessori classrooms for years, but it isn't for every kid. When we move next week my 3.5 year old will have his own cupboard, but he's very independent and practical. Though I'll have to decide an alternative snack solution than the picture above.
