Congratulations to you and your daughter. I actually recognize this closet from the Ohdeedoh contest. What's funny is that I was just coming here to post a question about using a curtain for a closet door - and here is this photo. Very timely.

I'll visit the other site and cast a vote.

Beautiful room! Actually, I am thinking of getting curtains for some of our closets. I thought it was my "unique" idea but I see that others have are doing the same, which is encouraging. If it works for others, it may work for me:) I'll vote.

Thanks, you guys.

I think the curtain instead of bifold doors is a nice, softer look. You could take it a step further and enlarge the closet opening so that the whole area is open, which makes it seem bigger and gives easier access to all storage. That's a lot of work, though. We did it with one closet it our house and now I would like to do it to all of them. Maybe someday...

spanky/emily's mom/emily's son's grandmom-to-be! You have obviously passed on your talent.

I remember your daughter--my sister in Hallarum :) She's done another fabulous job--she should go into design professionally, seriously. (When did they start making gliders that fabulous? Everything cool showed up *just* after we got out of the market for it :))

...a couple of thoughts:

...she'd better get ready to remove everything from the low shelves or baby will do it for her in about a year and a half:) And make sure the closet rod is *firmly* in place or baby will test it with possibly whacking results.

And I also have to say that I hope the crib won't get used that much in there--hope it gets moved into mom and dad's room and opened next to their bed...just putting in a plug for the Family Bed concept...makes middle-of-night feedings/comforting that much easier...

Beautiful beautiful work--hope she wins. More important, I hope she has a smooth, safe birthing. Please keep us updated :)

Thanks, fly! I'll pass your kind words on to her.

She's up on babyproofing, believe me---she was 8 1/2 when her little brother was born so she remembers all of that, plus she works for Child Protective Services and regularly sees what happens when kids aren't kept safe.

As for the crib, they also have a Nanna Ditzel cradle that will probably go in their room. I got it at auction for a paltry thirty bucks. Apparently not a lot of them were made and the only ones I have seen online were priced at over $5,000. I bought it a few years ago with the intention of selling it, but then she saw it and that was the end of that. It's officially mine, but of course all our grandkids will use it, and later, their kids. It's not going anywhere!

he's a real doll, you must all be ecstatic, congratulations !!!!!

Welcome to the world, Oliver!

And on "rate my babyface": the tactile Vs of the swaddling open to reveal more and more Vs of fabric, and ultimately their precious secret-- a powerful statement of peace within a dynamic, changing world. I love how the subtle yet regular greys of your onesie contrast with the vibrant naural tones of your newborn skin. Wouldn't change a thing :)

Baby Oliver is SO BEAUTIFUL :) Congrats!

Congratulations!!!!!
