Hey Pat,

Feel free to google around for those- we know there are a lot of Montessori moms out there with blogs all about that!

Love your blog! I’ve been looking for Montessori ideas for decorating the nursery. Would love links, photos, ideas, etc.

Thanks so much!

Hey Jennie,

So glad you found our blog! It’s actually painted concrete in the sunroom. Here’s a post all about how we transformed it: http://www.younghouselove.com/2008/08/how-to-paint-a-floor/

Hope it helps!

Hi there! This is my first time on your blog and I absolutely love it – so cute! Wondering what kind of flooring is in your patio room? We have a room that looks very similiar and are looking to make it more “indoor” instead of “outdoor” and your flooring looks perfect. Great stuff!

I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Congrats on the “May Project”! In t.v. land, there’s a good twist to a story to keep things interesting and here in blog land (of course, this is your real life we’re talking about) a new addition to the house should spice things up a bit.
I enjoy your site . . . but . . . being a mother of two, I was sort of waiting to see if little ones might change how you decide to decorate. While I too like your third room, it has had it’s time, the memory will live on and now a new season awaits, full of decorating promise, as well as a love like you’ve never know.
Best to both of you!

The only thing in the soon to be baby’s room is a full sized bed. Which, will go into storage for a couple years until my son is big enough for it. Quite simple for me. :)

A traditional sleigh cot would look so lovely in that room. We had to move house when our little one came along – she has the best furniture in our entire place!

Congrats on the bean! We have 4 soon to be 5 of us crammed in a 1000sqft shoebox (fixer-upper) of a home in DC. I would suggest waiting until the baby comes to buy a lot of your baby stuff, this way you can get a feel for how you “parent” and what your baby actually need. Because if you live in less than 3,000sqft and lack walkin closets it going to get very cluttered very fast. Just keep asking yourself can I use this for something else later on and do I have room to store this when it’s not in use?

With that said, Ikea has some great baby stuff that is very city / small space friendly and I have seen some great ikea crib hacks.

When we found out we were expecting a second child, we needed to move the home office out of the third bedroom. The third bedroom became our daughter’s big girl room, since it had a great walk-in closet. The nursery was converted from girly to boyish (okay, it’s actually pretty gender neutral), and all of the home office items got a new home in our previously empty breakfast room. We found that we actually prefer having the home office in a more centrally-located space because it’s easier to interact with everyone else and keep an eye on the kids.
