We got the light from Ikea and the Edison bulb from lowes. I was digging the shop style light.

That's the rocker she wanted. It is a Eames rocker. It's actually very comfortable. Glad the mother in law bought that high dollar chair!

Congrats on the "Little One." You'll have tons of fun and tons of diapers to change! Nice room.

Congrats on the little guy! Cool room too!
I hate to even bring this up but....How are those 3 pix of the patina Chevys mounted to the wall above his crib and is that glass? If he's anything like my 2 year old when he's able to stand, he'll find creative ways knock those off the wall and you have a major disaster on your hands. (Or even if someone slams his door too hard.) There's potentially similar issues with the shelving above the changing table too. They learn to use the drawers like steps very quickly.

Sorry to be a downer but we have Dennis the Menace for a son and have discovered that anything that isn't welded to the floor can and will be destroyed, used as a weapon or amusement park ride, a medium for "decorating" furniture or target practice. He does it like it's his job and he's extremely proficient at it. I can't possibly imagine where he gets it from...

When we had our first (my daughter) we had no idea how to make the house really "child proof". Infants are one thing, once they're walking they do the seemingly impossible. Don't ask me how I know...

Well, I was wrong. It looks like an upside down 2 way roof vent that you "adapted" to a light.

Ben has some good advice too! My first (now 6) was pretty good and you could "bend" him into submission (somewhat)! Now my youngest (almost 3) could destroy an anvil in a sandbox! And doesn't know what the word stop means....no matter how many spankins he gets!!! He is not "bending" very well! DooH!!!

sweet room.
i love the simplistic look of Ikea stuff.

^^^^
yeah my daughter was great! i lucked out and she never got into anything... i didn't even finish baby proofing the house( cabinets and what not) because even and at 1.5 she would listen when you told here not to touch/mess with something.

now our second will be here in march (A BOY!) and Im betting since i had it so easy with mia, he'll be a terror and get into everything! i fear Im gonna have poison control on speed dial!!!

I agree and I also like the price of the IKEA stuff! He will be playing cars and baseball all over that furniture in no time. I keep telling my wife that all my parents had for me was a pack and play in their bedroom. I have had a good time working on the room though.

Congrats Ryan and AJ!
