I use the same container as you. I just double up the bricks of wipes. It is a little tight at first but the wipes don't go flying. I also take the wipes out before a diaper change.

My hubby is 6'4 and has the same issues. We purchased ours for 1500 last year. They had a few DEEP models. Good luck!

this scares me

I use to work for Restoration. You can go to a local appliance repair shop. They will be able to fix the motor. Good luck.

I just saw the movie! Does anyone know where I can get the wallpaper that is in Lilly's room?

Oh, one last thing. Get a mobile for the crib that is battery operated and will run for 15 minutes. The wind up mobile drove me crazy.

This is the one I have now:

I think putting a skirt over the bookcases would give the eye a nice rest. Use a simple nuetral fabric and then maybe grosgrain ribbon accent to pick up on the wall color. (You can construct the curtains using iron on tape if you don't know how to sew). I'd consider painting the shelves the same color as the material but that's a big project.

Take most of the things off of the top of the shelves and just put a few select accent pieces. Scoot the shelves out of that corner (about a foot and a half) to create a little more breathing room. Also that light on the right is far too heavy to be nestled in the corner next to the window. I would try moving that to the other end of the shelves or eliminating it all together and replacing it with a thin floor lamp to be placed between the sofa and shelves.

I agree with most people that the paint is too busy. Green is great with the artwork that you have but maybe not so limey. I'd paint wall with the window a dark color and the other wall a medium color from the same swatch.

Delete both the deer and the rug.

Get a simple nuetral rug (5x8?)

Something like this to act as a coffee table (2 of them): http://www.cb2.com/family.aspx?c=114&f=3840

Good luck!

I just gave birth 8 weeks ago. My husband and I had pretty much settled on Avery.

When we discovered that our little girl had red hair I couldn't bring myself to name her Avery. We ended up naming her after both of our mothers, Carol & Linda = Carolyn. There are many Caroline's but not many Carolyn's and even though it's a more traditional name than a girl named Rikki (me) would usually go for, it makes me happy to know her name isn't on any top ten lists.

I use to work at Restoration Hardware and I recall thinking that was our sofa in the movie. I believe it was featured in Persimmon which was last years fall color. I don't know if it is still available. Here is the link to the Barclay sofa:

Good luck.

If you don't want to spend a lot of time making it look better get a pair of long curtains. Hang them from the ceiling via a hospital track and call it a day. I had almost the exact same piece of furniture in my apartment on 78th street and I tried putting fabric panels to make it look better but I was never satisfied.

Just make sure the curtains are darker because they'll be in a high traffic area.

Best of luck.
