The room is lovely and, I'm sure, perfectly safe since it was put together by an obviously smart and thoughtful momma.

Our boys have been sleeping in a KURA (bunk bed style) since they were 3 & 4. We haven't had any problems with it. We read bedtime stories on the couch at night or in our bed.

What is your blog? I love this room!

Dana does have a blog (House*Tweaking - it is mentioned in an earlier comment) and her previous home has been featured on Apartment Therapy as a House Tour.

I follow her blog and on Twitter & Facebook. She hasn't been begging for votes or anything. I think it is simply winning because it is a lovely room and Dana is very talented.

Really cute but it seems like this would make time-out fun. My boys would love sitting on that and playing with it which defeats the point of time-out.

I really love this room. That is the best looking ceiling fan I've ever seen. Such a warm, homey space for your little one!

Absolutely.


Do You Use Your Kids As An Excuse To Not Attend Boring Parties?

As the mom to two boys, I am pretty sure my kids could injure themselves doing anything.

This party looks awesome and so fun! I love the idea and I know my kids would have so much fun at a party like this. I am sure there were plenty of adults around to supervise.

Sorry that some people have to be so negative on here.

I agree with the layering technique! I also recommend IKEA's crib sheets; they are not fancy or organic or anything but they wash well, fit well and are inexpensive. A great option to have some extras for back-up. I think they are $9.99 for 2.

As foster parents, we unexpectedly were placed with a two week old. No rocking chair. No glider. I fed him on our couch. Plenty of parents do not or cannot have one of these options and their babies end up healthy and happy. We are now planning for a baby this winter and I have no plans to put a glider/rocking chair in her room. We made it through seven months with our little guy without a lot of what people think of a "necessities" before he went home to his mom. I love the idea of a love seat/couch in the nursery.

I am pretty sure my two boys (who happen to be adopted through foster care) would get a huge kick out of the monkey print. I like it & think lots of kids would. Plus, I am pretty sure if any kid said they were scared of it you would know how to handle it.

@HomeSpunThreads Agreed! Great idea about the tissue paper!

The store near Detroit said don't expect any cribs until September. Luckily, we already have a Gulliver.
