Lets start with ease of use.When it comes to high chairs, the ease of cleanup probably beats everything, as this is the thing you are going to be doing most, after every meal or even during a meal.If that is the case, the simpler the chair the better. Simplicity also (typically) comes at low cost. This is toward low-end but if you have Ikea nearby, go visit their cafeteria and try-out Ikea’s $15(!) ANTILOPNow if you are looking for better comfort for your baby and versatility as well as not having to buy 3 different chairs at different stages of your baby’s development, I don’t think anything can beat Graco Blossom 4 in 1 High Chair or its stylish version Graco Blossom 4-in-1 Highchair, Studio.This high chair starts you off from infant age
, to baby booster, to toddler booster. You can even use it with two kids simultaneously. It is pretty awesome and will actually enhance the interior of your house (which cannot be said about many other high chairs). It is on an expensive side between about $136 - $180, depending on the style/design but the convenience it provides at least 3 times a day may be worth it if the cost is not an issue. We use Joie Mimzy, it's pretty comfortable and safe. You can use it up to 18 kg. It has 3 tilt positions, 7 height adjustments and 3 footrest height and removable, washable, soft infant insert.It's also not much expensive. Everything you can expect from a highchair. This is the model we use Mimzy LX Highchair | There is also a 360° model. I don't know how much you can spend but also loved that one while I was researching Peg Perego - Siesta. It is more expensive but pretty cool actually. But also a bit overrated. Better colour options in this model.Personally, I suggest Joie Mimzy XL, but of course don't know your needs, better if you search for it yourself, for your house and baby.
When Baby will not blink on his own and is ingestion solid food -- typically between four and half-dozen months -- it is time to feature a high chair to your room ornament. Here area unit some inquiries to raise yourself before you get. High Chair Comparison - Best Baby High Chairs 2016I'm finally returning to Tech Guy's den, yay! I seem to like to procrastinate when it comes to this space. We did tackle the mound of paperwork, but I think because it was such a big job that the wind in my sails for decorating died down for some time. I'm trying to get back to it and it seems appropriate to try and finish Tech Guy's space for Father's Day. So far I have only shared with you the sofa and napkin pillows from this room. Today you get to see another wall of the den. This is what it has looked like for about 1 1/2 years. The teak credenza was a yard sale find. I think it put us back around $10 or so. The only problem it had was that it was missing the legs. We ended up buying some metal legs from Ikea and they worked perfectly.
The lounger is also from Ikea. It is the Karlstad swivel chair. It looks like they have replaced it with a leather version called the Arvika. The lonely piece of art is the alpha, bravo, charlie... phonetic code. It's about time to add some more art. Well, it just so happens that, today, I have the first part of the art and styling for this part of the den to share with you. I also made an attempt at styling the shelves. I don't really follow any rules when I style. What I do try to do is select items that I find interesting or that have some meaning to me. I then try to edit as much as possible to make sure I end up with something relatively clean and simple. For these shelves, I continued with the vintage touches and the nod toward our kiddos. Little Pilot's vintage Tonka truck is on display amongst murano glass, an Ittala Maribowl/Mariskooli and a couple of vintage cameras that I could convince my dad to let me keep on display. I love the box camera since it belonged to my grandmother.

I must have been too excited to share my Moomin High Chair makeover. Anyway here is the project I shared there: I seem to like using objects in ways that they weren't necessarily intended to be used (like my placemat clutch and napkin pillows). So when I found a nice square-shaped bowl that was a little beat up I knew I could paint it. I chose to go with a light shade of mint (my current colour crush) with some gold confetti for a little bling. I love how leaving the wood edges exposed gives it some character. This art can also be used for it's original purpose as a bowl. I would just recommend sealing your paint job first with a poly or acrylic sealer. You could also get a completely different look by painting your bowl a different colour or pattern (e.g., chevron, polka dots, a monogram, etc.).
The possibilities are endless. So that's my latest art project.I have been working on a few outdoor projects that need a little more finishing before I can share them here today, but hopefully I can get them done and posted soon! sharing this here: savvysouthernstyle, houseofhepworths, shabbycreekcottage, inspirationgallery, tidymom, shabbynest, tatertots&jello, iheartnaptime, suburbsmama, DIYshowoff, mondayfunday, dittodiy We did replace the walkway last year and removed the spruce and yew bushes that were oddly placed by the front door. Here's a peak at the new walkway stairs (or just an excuse to put a picture of Little Pilot in this post). The landscaping is on hold at the moment as we will be replacing the weeping tile and waterproofing in the next month or so, but I really should be planning that too. The front door will not be affected by our weeping tile work so I am trying to spruce it up a bit and make it a little more modern like the rest of our decor.
I'm thinking of something pretty minimal such as these inspiration photos that I've pinned. This one is also fun and I love the mailbox and numbers on it. Here's another option for numbers on a wood wall. 1. This is approximately the colour of our front door and it is pretty traditional, but I'm hoping it will still look okay to mix it up with some more modern elements 2. This is the grip set we have right now. It was from Lowe's and has worked pretty well so far. 3. Tech Guy really loves this style of light (from here). 4. I have wanted this mailbox for about 2 years now. It's made in Finland, but they only sell the black and stainless option here in Canada. I really would like a colourful one. I may have to order it from the States-side. 5. This knocker matches our grip set. I haven't decided if I will add one to our door or not, but I like that this one is pretty clean and simple. 6. I'd love to have a colourful door mat and have been loving this DIY wood mat for awhile now.
7. New planters would be nice. These ones are from Ikea. I'm thinking of putting a larger and smaller one together. 8. This arrangement is similar to what I like to do with my flowers. Something tall (Canna Lilly), bright small flowers (Lantana) and something that drapes down (love Creeping Jenny with the bright green leaves). 9. Modern house numbers. These are an affordable option. sharing this here: houseofhepworths, inspirationgallery, shabbynest, tatertots&jello, iheartnaptime, diyshowoff, mondayfunday, betweennapsontheporch, savvysouthernstyle Co-pilot started solids shortly after 6 months (sort of) and when I pulled out Little Pilot's old high chair I knew it needed a makeover. This mahogany stained Svan high chair stuck out like a sore thumb in our new light and bright dining room. The high chair was a yard sale find that I got even before I had any kids. I work with children in my day job and this chair was perfect for allowing little ones to sit at an adult-sized table with excellent support.
The Svan high chair is similar to the Stokke in that it is one of those that converts all the way into an adult-sized chair (the foot rest becomes the seat). I had thought about just buying the Stokke in a white colour and selling this one, but I really liked the option of having a tray (the Stokke doesn't have one). So a makeover this little high chair got. I have been getting a lot of Moomin/Muumi things for Co-pilot for some reason. He has a Moomin sleep sack and even a Moomin mobile. So, quite naturally, I added some Moomins to his high chair. (P.S. can you spot Little Pilot in the photo below?) The acrylic sealer was a really important step as you can see below in my test spots: P.S. this isn't my first high chair makeover - you can read about our Phil & Ted's Me Too here. sharing this project here: homestoriesatoz, savvysouthernstyle, houseofhepworths, the36thave, inspirationgallery, shabbynest, tatertots&jello, iheartnaptime, diyshowoff, mondayfunday, betweennapsontheporch
I got some mail today. It was the latest issue of Cottages & Bungalows magazine and guess who's mini mudroom was featured?! Yep, my back door closet got featured in a magazine! Tech Guy keeps making fun of me that it's our closet that gets to be in a magazine, but it's exciting nonetheless. I'm not sure if the magazine is on the newsstands yet - it's the July/August issue. I'll have to check our local bookstore soon. I entered the space in a contest and the prize was the magazine feature (you can check out the contest and other winners here). I also got another package a little less exciting from the good old GAP. I ordered these pink jeans and Little Pilot got this airplane shirt which he wanted to wear right away. He even let me take a few pictures of him wearing it. I'm a little bit regretting not buying the same one for Co-pilot too. You can see a glimpse of the pink jeans in the photo above - love them! You've already seen this room in a couple of posts (invisible speakers & floating sideboard), but I haven't shared the before and afters which, I think, are always fun to see.
I am also going to try and include a list of all the sources for the room since I seem to get a lot of comments/questions about where I got certain pieces. So without further ado, here is what the dining room looked like when we first viewed the house (the furniture/things in the room belonged to the tenants).
