Invisible Creature Modern Barn Blocks
One of my favorite creative toy brands is Invisible Creature. They have done collaborations with Odd Galaxy, Uncle Goose (Stack and Scare Blocks), Super 7's Wormwood, and now (thankfully!) again with Uncle Goose with their addition of the Barn Blocks.
The Invisible Creature Barn Studio blocks create a replica of a barn 30 miles east of Seattle. The barn was originally built for horses in 1964, but was remodeled for use as an artist studio last year. The blocks were made by Uncle Goose, and depict all kinds of creative and fun prints on each side. Can you spot the Eames rocker?
I love the whimsical pictures on each side and the concept of using the blocks to build one specific building (among many creative free-play uses). My toddler son would have a blast using these blocks, and I have to admit that I would love them just as much as him. These are going on my next wish list for upcoming holidays.

The Hottest Diaper Bags in Pantone's Marsala for 2015
When we announced Pantone's new Color of the Year, Marsala, I immediately thought it may be difficult to find diaper bags in this particular shade for those who find it fun to stay on-trend with their baby gear picks. Surprisingly, I found a lot more than I had expected! Let's take a look.
1- Oemi Baby Diaper Bag in Wine- $340
2- LeSportsac Large Weekender Handbag in Marsala Entwine- sale $110
3- TWELVElittle Allure Convertible Satchel in Plum- $230
4- TWELVElittle Allure Weekender in Plum- $310
5- TWELVElittle Allure Tote in Plum- $210
Oemi Baby's bag looks so beautiful, and the LeSportsac would be the perfect travel bag; I'm going to look into that choice to have in the car and for quick trips. There is no question that TWELVElittle is going to be a heavy hitter in the popular bags category for gear this year.
If you're not 100% committed to Marsala for the season, here are a few options that offer more of a pattern or hint of the hue.
6- timi & leslie Dawn Diaper Bag in Burgundy- $149
7- Skip Hop Duo Special Edition in Plum Sketch- $64
8- Tory Burch Convertible Nylon Baby Backpack in Cabernet- $375
9- Babymel Satchel Diaper Bag in Cherry- $85
10- Storksak Tania Bee in Burnt Orange- $210
11- Tory Burch Nylon Baby Bag in Cabernet- $395
12- Petunia Pickle Bottom Society Satchel in Plum Tart Cake- sale $226
Now… Drumroll please… If you have an expanded budget for bags (I would love that), here are my two personal luxury favorites for the season. I wish I could find these in person to run my hands over every seam — they're gorgeous.
13- Storksak Catherine in Leather Bordeaux- $450
14- Ellie Berry Diaper Bag Stylish Shopper Tote- sale $310
Surprise! I just found one more while writing this post, so I will add it here. I'll have to keep this a growing list for the year.
15- timi & leslie Hannah Diaper Bag in Burgundy- $262.17
What do you think? Are you feeling this trend for winter? Do any of these diaper bags stand out as one you would like to throw on your shoulder immediately? Let me know if you find any others that were not included in this list, and stay tuned as I know a couple of companies will be launching a few more late in the season!

Newlie Diaper Bags launch Indiegogo Campaign
Leslie Newton, one of the founders of the well-known brand timi & leslie, has recently announced news of her customizable collection of diaper bags called Newlie. Newlie has launched an Indiegogo campaign to help spread their brand and raise funds for this fresh new line.
Newlie is a "Moms-Based Business" which is designed for modern moms by modern moms. If you have ever wanted to have input into creating your perfect diaper bag, than this is the line for you. How is that possible? Each season, you help make selections for the style and then you can customize that style to fit your specific needs. I love this concept.
The first two bags in the collection are solid: The Perfect Backpack and The Everything Tote. These bags have it all; created with high-quality faux leather that is easily wiped clean, these bags are PVC-free, include a clutch purse, changing pad, interior and exterior pockets, bottle tote, key fob, and stroller straps.
The Perfect Backpack (This bag converts to both a backpack and a crossbody bag.)
The Everything Tote
For more information, and to help Newlie launch soon so you can have your say in your perfect bag, check out their rap video NEWLIE: Cool Bags for Hip Parents and support thecampaign.

Giantsuper Stuns with High-Design Animal Alphabet Flashcards
A quick search for alphabet-related items on our blog reveals that we absolutely love seeking out cleverly illustrated, modern designs for you. Today we feature alphabet flashcards which could easily double as gorgeous artwork for your nursery and child's room.
Giantsuper was founded by father-of-two, Paul Lee. Paul originally illustrated the super-deluxe set of flashcards for his son when he was learning the alphabet. The cards feature modern, iconic animal designs enclosed in a beautiful, premium box.
I'm not sure that I have ever used the word 'gorgeous' to describe flashcards before, but I am pretty certain that these qualify for that use. They are gorgeous!
Each card has a detailed animal image in the center, with corresponding capital letter in the top left corner and animal name on the bottom right. The animals look as if they are created in origami form and they seem to hold motion on each card.
They really are incredible. Also incredible is the affordable price point.
For more detailed images, you can check out the full alphabet here, and you can purchase a set of these beautiful flashcards on Amazon.

Lollaland Mealtime Set: Attractive, Fun & Educational
If you haven't seen or heard of the Lollacup already, you should definitely check it out. It's cute, playful, and receives rave reviews from many (including Shark Tank), so it was only a matter of time before Lollaland expanded on that success and launched more feeding options. It is always nice to have more options in the attractive mealtime category! New from Lollaland is the Mealtime Set.
Included in the Mealtime Set is a plate, bowl, and dipping cup. It looks to be the perfect size, too. I know my son would love that for the mustard he's obsessed with currently.
Simple details rule the roost here. The Lollaland chick is featured subtly on the plate and the dipping cup. The bowl features the Lollaland logo along the rim. Attractive, pleasing to the eye, and complimentary for any table.
All materials are made and packaged in the USA, BPA-free and phthalate-free, easily stackable, and top-rack dishwasher safe. The shapes are both fun and educational.
The packaging is beautiful, if I may say so for tablewear, and would make a lovely gift for an infant or toddler. The Lollaland Mealtime Set is available in Spring or Summer colors for $20. The Lollacup is available in black, pink, blue, orange, red, or green for $13 a piece.

Happy Family Play Sets from Hape
Esther recently posted on Instagram about her sadness in packing up their beloved Plan Toys contemporary dollhouse, and I started thinking about the perfect time to introduce my son to a dollhouse that I have had my eye on for quite some time. The Green Alligator is a local toy shop where I live in Jacksonville, FL, and they carry an amazing selection of Hape toys. I have long been a fan of the Happy Family line from Hape and wanted to highlight their range.
The Happy Family All Season House can be purchased fully furnished ($199) or unfurnished ($129). If you have a smaller space or would like to represent a cozier home, the Happy Villa ($99) would be perfect. The home is made from wood with water-based paints, and features reversible seasonal themes, a solar-paneled roof, six rooms, and moveable stairways. I love the details of the front door mail slot, the balcony, and ceiling lighting fixtures.
Make sure to expand outside with the Playground Set ($40). The puzzle-piece base provides the land for the swing, see-saw, and slide.
The Family Bathroom ($20) and Media Room ($20) provide character, warmth, and bath time fun to your home. The plant, floor lamp, and shower head are all perfect touches for these two rooms!
The Dining Room ($20) could provide hours of entertainment with all of the miniature place settings and tableware. I am dying to order this myself just to sit next to my computer so I can marvel in the details.
Bedroom sets include the Master Room ($20) and a Children's Room ($20). Keep your Happy Family fed by including the Kitchen Set ($20) and the Patio Set ($20) with the outdoor grill. The pots and pans, mixer, and tiny dish towel all kill me with cuteness.
There are many more sets and figures to add-on for your Happy Family, but Hape doesn't stop there with imaginative playsets. Every time I stop by our local shop, I am entranced by the Meine Kleine Welt (My Little World) farm, home, and play worlds. Check out the video below for a peek!

Kenson Quinny Yezz and Zapp Xtra
Quinny has never held back with color when it comes to their bright strollers– especially in their Moodd design collaboration with pop artist icon Romero Britto. This year, Quinny showed off their latest bold collaboration with Belgian artist Kenson that resulted in these designs for the Yezz and Zapp Xtra.
These strollers are edgy, funky, fresh, and fun.
The Quinny Yezz Special Edition Kenson Collection is a giggle exclusive and retails for $330.
Check out the detail on the seat. The white fabric would probably show dirt easily, but this is a stroller design that could handle some wear and tear and still look great.
The Kenson Limited Edition Zapp Xtra retails for $375.
I love the splashes of green on the wheels, the hood, shoulder straps, and foot rest.
If you missed our review of the Quinny Zapp Xtra, check it out here!
What do you think of this design collaboration?

Jané: Spain's Leading Stroller Brand at ABC Kids Expo 2013
We are excited to share a new stroller option with you. Jané, Spain's leading stroller brand, is relaunching in the US and they debuted the North American product lineup at the ABC Kids Expo. Let's take a look!
The Nanuq is an umbrella stroller with large diameter wheels, adjustable backrest, kickstand for storage, and carrying handle. Accessories included are the hood, cup holder, foot rest, and rain cover.
Adjustable handles make this stroller stand out, as well as the patented "ball joint" system, allowing it to fold to 12% of its height when standing. The Nanuq retails at $299 and is available in colors Aqua blue, Shadow grey, and Cosmos red.
The Rider has a sleek profile as Jane's top of the range stroller. The aluminum chassis ensures a lightweight frame, and the adjustable rear suspension make it a quick and easy ride to push. The height of the stroller also makes it useful for using as a highchair when dining on-the-go.
The fabric available on the navy blue Rider is patterned with playful, sketches of fish. I love how compact the canopy shade is when in the up position. The seat can be adjusted to face forward or turn around so the child is parent-facing. The basket looks easily accessible and the fold of the stroller gets down to 30% of its size, as shown in the bottom right photo. The Rider retails at $750 and is available in Shadow grey, Blue, and Sand.
Trider Extreme is Jané's stroller made for those who are looking for all-terrain capability and a stylish, elegant appearance. The larger wheels give it stability and maneuverability on both rough terrain and smooth concrete. Long length suspension and an adjustable shock absorber ensure baby's maximum comfort. While I am not a fan of the writing on the foot rests, I am really loving the ruggedly sophisticated look. The Trider Extreme retails at $790 and is available in the Deep red and Azzure blue shown above.
The Jané Powertwin Pro double stroller is an all-terrain stroller with a two-position, rear wheel suspension for a smooth ride, including a front wheel disc brake system. Each seat has its own adjustable backrest and canopy. The Powertwin Pro will be available soon.
All of the Jané canopies are water-repellant, made from breathable fabric, and include anti-Uva, Uvb, Upf 50+ sun protection.
These are some good looking strollers, so we look forward to getting to know Jané!

Boken On-The-Go Hip Pack Diaper Bag Review
I am a huge fan of large diaper bags, so when I first heard about a diaper bag that can be worn as a fanny pack, I had to check it out regardless of size. The boken ON-THE-GO HIP PACK Diaper Bag is designed with an adjustable belt to be worn as a hip pack or over the shoulder as a sling bag. The compact shape and size allow it to be folded into itself in a zippered pocket for storage and travel.
The folded bag is portable and has a convenient loop for carrying or storing.
The adjustable hip pack/sling bag easily wipes clean, contains an outer zip pocket for bottles or pacifiers, a Velcro cell phone pocket, an inner zip pocket which doubles as the bag's storage pouch, and this is all at the incredible light weight of 5.5 ounces!
The lightweight material is comfortable to wear around your waist and over your shoulder, even when loaded with a full water bottle. Rubberized zipper pulls are easy to use one-handed (a big pet peeve of mine with some diaper bags that are impossible to close without two hands!). During trips to the beach with my stroller, I hang the boken from our stroller handlebars, so it hangs out of the sunlight. It's super easy to toss anywhere needed, from the car console, to the stroller basket on our umbrella stroller, to wearing around my waist or shoulder when we walk stroller-less on the beach collecting shells. Bonus — the sand and salt water is simple to clean out after each use!
A peek inside the boken hip pack/sling bag when we go to the beach. I always try to bring extra water because we never know how long we'll end up walking the shore looking for sea creatures.
Here is everything I packed with me, sans keys, phone (taking the photo), and sunglasses, for the dinner and reception party last week celebrating my sister's wedding. The outside phone pocket fit my iPhone 4S with case perfectly, but my husband's iPhone 5 in an Otterbox was too large for the Velcro closure. We had to put it in the outside front zipper pocket instead. The bag rested on top of our umbrella stroller canopy (UPPAbaby G-LiTE) which was in the up position. Carrying a bag much smaller than my typical daily bags has allowed me to streamline what we bring to only the most-used, essential items.
My final thoughts?
This is one versatile little bag — and my husband loves it as well for it's size and material. The only issue that I have had is that the zipper to the inside pocket, which also closes the pouch up when folded for storage, broke within the first few uses. The bag can still be used and folded just fine, and this may have just been an issue with my particular bag. While the front outside pocket is designed for bottles (it is not insulated), the Born Free bottles that we used are too large, so you may also want to keep that in mind. I would love it if there could be a loop added to the bag while in use, so it can be hung on a hook or stroller handle easily. The outside pouch loop is great for storage, but an additional loop would be nice as well since I found myself looking for one frequently for some reason out of habit. Perhaps an '80's fanny pack flashback?
It is a surprising outcome that I find myself liking a smaller bag as much as I do. I definitely recommend the boken Hip Pack/Sling Bag as the perfect travel bag, beach bag, and on-the-go diaper bag, and at $34, you can afford to add this to your lifestyle.
You can pick one up today on their website in black, grass, or slate.
While boken was generous enough to offer us this bag for review, all thoughts, opinions, and recommendations are my own.

Howdy Doody folks!!!
For Hot Picks episode 17 Delphi is giving you guys a special treat with a video of the new gear at the warehouse. Due to the lack of help in the office, Delphi had to basically holler at some really talented and crazy scientists to help him clone himself to help himself showcase the new CTRL and CWB gear for 2011. They are all super dope gear and you have to see them in person to appreciate them. But definitely know this all of them are super durable and super high performance for either boat or cable. So peep them out.

Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

The Best Writing Advice Judy Blume Ever Got
It was from her daughter, and it's delightfully simple
Trailblazing author Judy Blume, who wrote young adult books before that was even a category, is known for classics like Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, Summer Sisters, Deenie, and Starring Sally J. Friedman as Herself. But the beloved writer is back with a new novel for adults, which will be published in the summer of 2015.
Blume is working on revisions this summer, and according to her endearingly honest tweets, it's been a stressful process.
Asked recently by author Martha Brockenbrough what the best writing advice she ever received was, Blume replied:
From my daughter, this week. (I'm having a hard time with revisions due the end of summer).
"Mother, just get up every morning, sit at your desk and write down anything and everything and it will come."
And that's exactly what I'm doing. Sometimes, even when you know what to do, it helps to hear it again.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan authorities launched an investigation on Monday into the shooting death of an Indian chief who had repeatedly requested protection from the government as he campaigned for indigenous rights in a largely lawless and increasingly violent region.
Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said Sabino Romero, a leader of the Yukpa tribe, was fatally shot on Sunday along a highway in the western state of Zulia.
Villegas said investigators suspect Romero may have been the victim of a hired killing, but authorities have not determined a motive.
"The investigation is under way," Villegas said. "We cannot put forth any type of hypothesis regarding this reprehensible act."
The Prosecutor General's Office issued a statement saying that Romero reportedly was gunned down by two assailants riding a motorcycle. The gunmen stopped a vehicle carrying Romero and sprayed it with bullets, according to prosecutors.
The indigenous leader's wife, Luisa Martinez de Romero, was wounded.
No suspects have been arrested.
Justice Minister Nestor Reverol told state television that federal police traveled from Caracas to Zulia to assist state authorities investigating Romero's murder.
Reverol suggested that owners of large swaths of land located along the Perija mountain range may be responsible for Romero's murder.
In a message posted on Twitter, Zulia state governor Francisco Arias, a close ally of President Hugo Chavez, announced that federal and state officials would also join forces "to advance on the distribution of land for the Yukpas."
Romero had long campaigned for the rights of the Yukpa and the demarcation of their lands in the Perija mountain range bordering neighboring Colombia.
Foro por la Vida, a group of Venezuela's most prominent human rights organizations, issued a statement strongly condemned the killing, calling for "exhaustive, transparent, and quick investigation" to determine who was responsible.
In a statement of its own, Foro por la Vida noted that tensions between the Yukpa and cattle ranchers have increased in recent years, occasionally leading to violence, as the Indians have settled on lands claimed by ranchers and demanded the government initiate the demarcation of their ancestral lands.
Land owners are suspected of killing several tribe members amid land-related disputes, according to human rights organizations. Rights groups said the Yukpa repeatedly denounced threats from ranchers, but authorities failed to act.
"There's a lot of tension in the region," said Lusbi Portillo, an Indian rights activist, told The Associated Press in an interview.
Portillo counts at least eight murders involving Yukpa tribe members in recent years.
"There are no investigations, nobody is arrested," added Portillo, a representative of Sociedad Homo et Natura, a nongovernmental organization that closely tracks indigenous rights issues in Venezuela.
Portillo said that he has received anonymous death threats by telephone.
Romero's father, Jose Manuel Romero, was killed in 2009. Tribe members blame a local rancher for his slaying, but the alleged aggressor was never arrested or faced criminal charges, according to Portillo and human rights activists.
Following a fight between rival groups of Indians that ended with the death of one of those involved in the melee, Romero was arrested in 2009, charged with murder and put on trial, according to Esperanza Hermida, a representative of the local Provea human rights group.
Romero spent approximately 18 months in military custody as the trial continued. He was released in 2011 after prosecutors failed to produce evidence supporting their accusations.
"They used the fight to justify the accusations, which were aimed at stopping his protest activities," Hermida said in a telephone interview, referring to government officials.
Liliana Ortega of the Cofavic rights group said the government began "criminalizing" activists and organizations that spoke out against Romero's arrest and trial.
"A growing campaign of criminalization has been developing in Venezuela against social leaders, human rights activists and union leaders . . . that take up critical positions against state policies," Ortega said.

1. The room was very clean, and well maintained, with everything looking in new or very good condition. 2. The kitchen was well equipped, with more than just the basics. 3. The entertainment system was good (TV, Satellite, DVD, CD player, etc). 4. There were a lot of electrical sockets, all over the room. 5. Many large closets. 6. Phone and Ethernet sockets in several locations. 7. City center. - Yaron
Apartment next door to the old town. Good restaurant and grocery stores close to the apartment.
Apartment in an old building and the interior in line with that: not modern luxury but nice and clean.
Keys were delivered prompty with short notice and the service by all means good.
Wifi worked well. - Anonymous
The apartament was excellent, like my own home. Was just right in the heart of the old town in the main street. The bus 175 from the airport drop you off at the door. Easy to walk to all the most important places. I would be there next time for sure. - Myrian
complete luxury, excellent hotel and at weekend rates excellent value for money, buffet breakfast fantastic and jacuzzi, massage chair, sauna wonderful and hotel bar and room spacious and fantastic and very clean and great to have a bath and not just a shower in the bathroom. i really got used to the life of luxuy here - Catherine
Free internet in the rooms came to my surprise as I work in hotel myself in the UK this was a bonus. Previously I stayed couple of times in Marriott Courtyard but only here in Hotel Airport I experienced far better customer service which was noticebale right from the check in. The smile and interraction with the guest was a nice experience compare to uninterested staff at Marriott. - Anonymous
Great location - old Warsaw is right there, restaurants and cafes at your doorstep, nice and friendly owners, interesting interior design, Carefour supermarket is downstairs, convenient to stay with family - we were 4, with 2 kids (age 13 and 9), they liked it too. Just a small suggestion to place mats for the table - glass surface gives a noise every time when drinking coffee the mug is placed back to the table. - Anonymous
Good value for money, nice clean apartment with all facilities, close to city center ( 15-20 min walking) - Anonymous
Price is really low comparing to the number of rooms. Excellent view as well, recommend for business trips or visiting town. - Anonymous

Furniture arrangement in small bedroom - please vote
Bedroom is 10x10. Right now I have a full size bed (four poster) and a small dresser in it. It looks crowded the way I have it, but is easier to clean and make the bed with the bed away from the wall a little.
When we put the house on the market, I'll put the furniture in storage for a month or two and put something smaller in there, either a twin or a baby bed. But until then, do either of these arrangements work better for making the room look less crowded?
1. The above arrangement but with the bed pushed against the window wall.
2. Below with dresser turned
3. Below with bed in other corner. A little more light from the window.
4. Something else?
Regardless of what you do, you have a 10x10 room and it is not going to look larger regardless. Until you decide to sell, place the furniture in such a way that it works best for you. I heard Lynette Jennings once state something to the effect that no matter how you place the furniture, a small room is a small room and it might be better to make it look grand and cozy rather than large (because it will not), as long as you have access to doors and windows.
I think either way will work, but I would add bedside tables to either side of the bed. The guest room in my mom's house is very small like yours with a full-size bed and an antique dresser. She had the room arranged with the bed against a wall to have more floor space, but it was awkward for guests. The person by the wall had to crawl over the other to get out and there was no place to put glasses or water or whatever for the person by the wall. She pulled the bed away from the wall and put tiny bedside tables on either side. It's much better! It doesn't look any smaller than it did and it is much more functional.
Here are some ideas:
Eclectic Bedroom by Tiburon Interior Designers & Decorators Jerry Jacobs Design, Inc.
Contemporary Bedroom by Boston Interior Designers & Decorators Duffy Design Group
I like #2 although I would still scoot the bed over a little more so it's easier to make it. I also think it gives you enough room for a small nightstand with lamp.
If I can find the wheels, I'm going to put them back on the bed and then I can move it around, I think. The wheels are small and I don't know how well they will roll on carpet.
Not having a bedside table is the reason I had the dresser beside it. I do have another small table. It doesn't match, but I'll see if it works.
You're all right of course. A small room is a small room. I think that's why so many model homes have small beds in them.

Kevinmp had a small bedroom, similar in size to your room. The post was "Canopy or no canopy." There, he posted pictures with different placements of his bed. I thought of it when I read Patricia quoting LJ: "a small room is a small room and it might be better to make it look grand and cozy rather than large." Kevin has small rooms but he works wonders with those rooms.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kevinmp canopy or no canopy
I would move the dresser as in #2, keep the bed as #1 but slide it closer to the middle of the room so there is room for a night stand on the far side, even it is only a shelf mounted to the wall like a demilune. If you can fit one on each side, more's the better.
There is a visual trick to make a small room seem larger...if you can see where the floor meets the wall in the corner, it adds visual space.
And of course, hang a mirror to enlarge the room and add light.
We have virtually the same shape/size bedroom as you and #3 is the best option. We've tried them all. #1 and 2 aren't so good because unless you have the doors wide open, someone has to move them out of the way to get round the bed. With #3, the room appears larger because doors aren't in the way of moving around.
I think the problem isn't the bed size but rather the bureau, because you have to be able to open the drawers.
What if you had only the bed in there, more to the center of the blank wall, and put shelving up to your clothes, use nice bins for things like socks and undies. You could even put a curtain up, made from a fabric you like, to hide the clothes. Then you don't have to allot for room just to open the drawers, and a body standing in front of the open drawers.
In my old house I enclosed a loft to create a third bedroom. The room was 10x10 when finished. I put a dresser in the closet and then centered a queen sized bed on the back wall. I put wall mounted lamps on either side and mounted 2 shelves on either side to serve as night stands. I also put a shelf up high the full length of the back wall, maybe about 6 1/2 feet up to put books and some decorative things. Since there was no dresser in the room I had room for a bench at the end of the bed. I painted that one wall a darker shade of the othe 3 walls. I swear when I put the house on the market that cozy little guest room sold the house.
I had a small bedroom growing up and for awhile I put the dresser in the closet and it worked well and saved a lot of room in the room.
You might want to try removing the posters, if possible. Posters take up a lot of visual space and not really a good choice to put in a small room. Try it and see what you think.
I like the arrangement in number 4, but with the bed pulled a bit away from the side wall and put small tables on each side as Geokid suggested. That way you could also put a TV on the chest so that whoever is lying on the bed doesn't have to twist their head to see the TV.

I'm back. Finally got the room painted and the furniture back in it. And I discovered that the standard sized furniture on the room planner is no where near the sizes of my furniture.
This is how the furniture was before I removed everything for painting:
After painting, I first put the furniture in this way:
And as you can see, there really isn't room for a dresser at the end of the bed. The doors and drawers won't open.
As you can see, leaving off the posters isn't an option. It's an old bed and the headboard and footboard are part of the frame.
Then I had dh help me turn the bed as in #2. I didn't take a photo because dh wasn't being patient, but it's like this:
Still not much room between dresser and bed.
Not enough room to pull it away from the window with night stands the way suero suggested.
So then I had dh help me turn it back like #3 again, and I put the tall dresser in the closet, and the smaller one in the other bedroom, and one nightstand from the other room in here. Hard to see, but what do you think of this arrangement? Not that I see another choice. When the bed is turned like #2, it is either close to the window wall and blocks the window, or it is centered on the wall and takes up the whole room. The height of the nightstand bothers me.
I know this would be easier to see if I could back off, but I was as far back as I could get.
I asked dh to help me move it to the center of the wall, but he just doesn't get why I want it to make it look like the bed isn't sucking all the air out of the space and he rolled his eyes and left. Men!

I need to get this bedroom done asap. I have company coming Friday! I'd like to have somewhere for her to put her suitcase besides the floor. Any suggestions there? I have a couple of ottomans, but I don't know where I'd put them.
Besides furniture placement, I'd like to know what you would suggest about window treatments and bed covering. I put the mini blinds back up for now, and I will put the lace sheer back up. I pull the the blinds up during the day. This window faces the street and I like the privacy. I also have a blackout shade because my kids complained about the bright light waking them up in the morning. Since we're going to sell, I don't know if I will put that back. It's form over function now.
I know you're not going to want to hear this, but I like the original arrangement or #2 better. It shows you can have a bed and a dresser in the room. It also gives the person by the wall a way out besides crawling over the other person.
Try measuring out if it would work to arrange the room in your original way, but with the dresser moved against the right wall with the bed right next to it. How much room does that give you between the bed and the window? Enough for the side table? Or enough for any other small table you might have? I think you can pull off a mismatched bedside table look.
The white nightstand is not the same height as the dresser in the original arrangement, but that is easily fixed with casters. Buy some the right size and screw them into the bottom of each leg and you're good to go. Plus, the dressers look like they are on casters, so it would help pull the pieces together.
Another thing to do would be to get a wooden tray to put on top of the white nightstand so that it has a wood tone similar to the dresser. Again, if would help pull the pieces together.
I'd get rid of the blinds and put panels over sheers. Personal preference, but I think it's a prettier, softer look. Especially in a room with a street view: you can have the light coming in through the sheers but still have a bit of privacy.
If the dresser is out of the closet, then put the ottomans in there as a place for a suitcase.
Here is a link that might be useful: Great article on how to use mismatched nightstands
I redid my DS's room after he went away to college which was similar in size. I bought a folding wood luggage rack like you see in hotels for when guests came to visit and that has worked well. The bed is quite similar to yours and as much as I loved it, the footboard and posts really limited arrangements. Here was how we placed it:
However, I found the bed too imposing when DS came to stay over school breaks so I ended up selling it and replacing it with a wooden daybed so that it now functions more like a den.
I still like suero's plan - even without room for matching round side tables.
The sliver there is enough for a floor lamp and a little shelf or plant stand size table - just big enough for eyeglasses and a book. Makes ALL the difference for guest comfort when both sides of the bed have lighting and a space for stuff.
I have no problem at all with the bed "blocking" the window. Plenty enough light making its way through.
"I know you're not going to want to hear this"
No, I want to hear it all.
I remeasured everything, and redrew the room plan. My real bed is bigger than the standard I used before, so this time I'm using their canopy since it's most similar to a four poster.
patricia said it - a small room is a small room. One of my neighbors did just that, she put a queen bed in her small bedroom, and it has just enough room on either side for a regular sized night stand. She put a gorgeous comforter on it with lots of pillows and it really looks nice. Just enough room to walk around the bed though, so staying there and living out of a suitcase would be a pain. But it looks nice. The main difference with her room is that you enter her room directly facing the bed and it was a mattress and headboard. I think the four poster takes up more visual space.
I like the pictures geokid posted. Those night stands look really narrow too. My white ones are 18" wide. I do have a plant stand that is small and could put a top on it, or possibly build a couple of stands that are the right height too. I don't want to put any big holes in the walls after spending the last week fixing the walls, but I had thought of a floor lamp.
I would like to have the small dresser in there too, not just so it looks like there is room for a bed and dresser, but so there is somewhere to open a suitcase.
I can't move the bed by myself, but as soon as my company is gone, I'll see if dh will help me move it one more time. In the meantime, I played with your ideas in the planner, and with real dimensions.
I'm sorry to say this after all of that work, but I think the way you had it before painting is really the best option. The shorter dresser looks like a great height for a night stand, there's room on either side of the bed, and it's the best view from the door.
Just add a table to the other side and make the bed the focal point with nice linens and pillows.
I do expect you will do the best you can and it will be fine. I have smaller bedrooms in this house than I had at the previous house. We no longer needed to heat and cool big rooms, big house with formal rooms that we used rarely, and kitchen with a separate closed-off breakfast room.
If you cannot use each and every piece, store them in a closet or in one of those little storage houses with climate control as you may move to another house in your life that has bigger rooms. We never know in this mobile economy.
I talked dh into moving the bed yet again. It's so much easier with sliders these days. I think it's too close to the window wall, but I'll get the dresser back in there tomorrow and see how much room I have to move it over. So then I'll be back with bedding choices.
When my dd was the one coming home most often, I bought a duvet and cover. But it was a polyester cover and had an unbelievable amount of static in winter. So then I bought the only cotton cover I could find, a solid brown, and not only does it look terribly blah in the room, the duvet is too warm for most people.
So I'm going to buy a colorful comforter I think. I'm stumped on the bedskirt though. I was 12 when I inherited this bed and I haven never had a bedskirt that worked right with it.
Is there a certain kind that works with wood rails?
Buy a very inexpensive metelasse white bedspread and shams, maybe even at Tuesday Morning or an inexpensive big box store, and put your duvet in the brown cotton coverlet, fold it at the foot of the bed for effect, but leave the white for utilitarian. It will appear clean, inviting and the folded duvet in brown will make it look cozy.

in 2006 i holiday for the 1st time in New York and found this lovely diner and eat there twice a day for a week and will be going back this April to enjoy the food again. The eggs benedict was one of the best i had ever had and the price was not over the top and it a great place to people watch
Posted by Anonymous on 01/22/2007
I go to the Flame at least twice a week, usually for breakfast or lunch. Excellent fast service, quick coffee refills, delicious breakfasts (omelettes, ham and eggs, pancakes). The chicken salad sandwich is surprisingly good and if you feel like eating a bit unhealthy then try the cheeseburger club. This place is always open and, as such, is a great option after a long night out. I may be 5-10 lbs. heavier because of them but it's worth it.

I had the Lamb Orzo (or something like that) and it was delightful! Service was attentive and you get to sit among the regulars and get a feel for the "hood"
Posted by Johnny on 06/08/2006
Really good breakfasts and Burgers . But be warned , the delivery service is inconsistent - consistently getting the order wrong and it is not exactly timely. I must admit that the service in Diner is very friendly .
Posted by SilverLady on 12/15/2005
Been eating here weekdays for 25 years -- and my workday doesn't get off on the right foot unless I do! The staff are the friendliest; the food and service is terrific. You don't have to be a long-time customer to have the staff know how you want your eggs, or how you take your coffee. Salads are terrific and very popular, as are the ever-changing specials. No complaints about being bored with the menu! Speak with the managers about having your party catered. Always dependable, courteous and friendly service. What's not to like.

My daughter and I were in New York in July. We wanted to eat at a different "breakfast special" every day, but after the first time in The Flame we came back every day of the week. Friendly, quick, good and fresh food, (coffee should be a little stronger) we enjoyed every breakfast. Across the street from the Hudson hotel, we recommend it to everybody. (we even made pictures of mr. sotirios and his colleagues. When we go back to New York, I think we will have breakfast at the Flame again.

Extra thick milkshakes here are fabulous, and the chicken fingers are great as well. Free delivery is great when you get home from work at midnight. I go here every week.

Discussion in 'Purchasing DVC' started by markmcalear, Dec 19, 2013.
What would you say these disadvantages are?
Log in or Sign up to hide this adverts.
The biggest disadvantage is having to book 7-to-11 months in advance in order to get what you want. Can you book later? Sure. But every day you wait, your chances of getting what you want drops. Even at 7-to-11 months, it can be difficult to get the more popular rooms. Examples are any concierge room at AKV or a Standard View Studio at BWV during Food & Wine Festival. These often are gone right at 11 months.
With cash rooms, you often can get what you want on short notice.
Another is the cancellation policy. If you cancel within 30 days, your points go into a special holding status and can be used only for 60-day bookings. In addition, those points cannot be banked.
With cash rooms, I believe it's 7 days if not part of a package and, frankly, if you call and plead, Disney usually refunds your money even within 7 days.
Another disadvantage is, even with banking and borrowing, you have a 3-year window to use points. Otherwise, you lose them.
With DVC, you need to be careful to buy the right number of points for you and adjust your vacations accordingly. (Note that Disney allows you to buy an extra 25 one-time points per year at $15/point, so that helps if you need just a few extra points.)
With cash rooms, you are free to spend as much or as little as you like whenever you want.
Two main negatives-
The reality that one must book so far in advance. Cash is always much more flexible if your plans change or your schedule is unpredictable. Personally, I'm "a planner" and I enjoy the game that is getting what I want, where I want at eleven or seven months out. But certainly this isn't for everyone.
The maintenance and upkeep schedule. In general, I find DVC rooms to be excellent- and better than most hotels we stay in. But others are correct that DVC rooms get updated and cleaned less often than the cash deluxe resorts. And sometimes it shows.
One needs to not hesitate to report maintenance issues. Sometimes they get fixed promptly, sometimes not- but in general it seems that anything that would render a room meaningfully non-usable (broken climate control, water leak, etc) is handled immediately, or the guests are moved.
We are willing to accept these things, in exchange for the huge savings with DVC versus deluxe resort cash discount rates. In fact, we love DVC. A lot. Just go into purchasing it with the expectation that it is a vehicle to save money on very good lodging in one of the most desired locations in the world. Nothing more, nothing less. And you will be quite happy with the product.
My observation over time, is that the folks who are displeased with DVC are usually those with unrealistic expectations on the primary product itself, or those who think Disney will treat them specially after they have purchased. And of course there are those who simply don't enjoy the Disney parks as much any more, and would be served better with a different timeshare that had a wider property location distribution (or no timeshare at all).
Funny, but I find this first one a positive.
Planning 7 to 11 months out means that work always let me take my vacation when I planned it. People who did not have the long planning horizen often got told that they couldn't get vacation when they wanted it. Also, having the points and not wanting to lose them forced my sister to take a vacation each year.
I may have got the wrong end of the stick (wouldn't be the first time) but I think you said you were from the UK. In which case booking at 11 months is a distinct advance not a downside as we find we need to book flights at 11 months so I want my room locked in at the same time. As for not being able to cancel at the last minute well it isn't really an option anyway when you have bought transatlantic flights so not so much of an issue.
I always like to book my flights as soon as they become available which is usually at 11 months out.
For our 2014 trip for example, by bumping the accommodation from August 15-29 to August 14-28 I was able to get a flight upgrade from Virgin Atlantic from Premium Economy to Upper Class for £12 per person!!!!!!!
There are a number of issues that could be seen as advantages or disadvantages depending on where you're standing. Here is a list as I see it, I'm sure there are more we could add.
You tie up your up front costs and obligate yourself to yearly dues. That creates personal risk that one could avoid even for those that don't have debts.
No Housekeeping other than the limited amount described. To me this is a positive but not for everyone.
It forces you into a lose or use situations. Again, this could be a positive, I think it was for me early on.
You must plan ahead to be safe and often to be successful. For those that can't, DVC really is not a good choice for them even though some find themselves in this situation and are making it work.
It really forces you back to DVC resorts and away from other trips esp if one bought more points than needed for the DVC type trips. Again, some see this as a positive.
You're limited to the resorts in question but that's usually OK with most DVC members it seems, esp as the system expands.
For those that bought extra points and use them for non DVC trips, they're almost always spending more than they would have spend with less DVC points and cash or other options for the non DVC trips. Obviously it depends on specifics but in general it erodes the savings/value of the system and there really are very few exceptions and essentially non when you are looking at cash type exchanges.
You're competing with other members for the higher demand times, thus you may not get what you want.
For most it actually increases their overall cost of vacations even though it might provide a better "value".
For certain family sizes you may end up having to upgrade rooms and thus cost over hotel type reservations.
The options are poor and limited when looking at exchange options, esp comparing to some other non DVC timeshares. For some, owning both is the best choice.
Now there are a lot of positives but the question was about negatives. Knowing the full picture up front allows one to make better purchase choices as to whether to buy at all, home resort choice and number of points.
I find if you buy the flights the first day they are out you can get the PE upgrade for next to nothing so we always buy 11 months out as well.
Occupancy rates. That makes it hard to do two things - book on short notice (which for some room types can be 'anything less than eleven months out and even then you may not get it - see BLT standard view and VAKL concierge and value) and to do ordinary maintenance on rooms - sometimes things that would take a room out of service for a day or two get delayed - refurbs can get scheduled (in my opinion, its often enough, but the rooms DO look worn before they get refurbed), its harder with the "someone smoked in the room" type of maintenance.
A disadvantage to me is that it really ties you to Disney. That is why a lot of people bought, but plan on using your WDW points at Disney. The times of year where you'd want to be at HHI or VB or Hawaii - and year round in California - are hard to book. Now, if you want to spend January at HHI, you probably won't have any issues.
A disadvantage for some people - not for me - is that we don't qualify for bargains on points. While DVCers will often say that "free dining" isn't much of a deal, it really has been a good deal in some years. When Disney needs to raise hotel occupancy, they have a lot of levers their marketing department can pull to make the hotels look very attractive.
As a trading timeshare, DVC isn't a good deal. Its expensive, its options are limited and members don't have direct access.
It ties you to Disney over the long term. For me, my peak Disney experience was in the late 1990s. The food was good to excellent, the parks were clean, the crowds were reasonable. It is possible Disney will start to ramp up its game to reach that again, but for the most part we've noticed a slow but steady degradation in the things we used to love. For us, food is a huge one - its gone from good to excellent to occasionally inedible to once in a great while surprisingly good. When I pay $100 for a meal (we eat signature, because over the past decade the one credit restaurants have been inedible too often) I don't want to be surprised that the food is good. Now, I'll freely admit that we are a family of food snobs (well, my son is a fifteen year old boy with fifteen year old boy tastes - but even he can tell a good steak from a bad one) and for us, vacations are in part an excuse to eat out and eat well. That is becoming harder and harder at Disney.
Another "ties you to the long term" issue has been inflation. Not only has food gotten a lot more expensive, park tickets have. And, outside Disney's control, but still something we are tied into spending, the cost of airfare.
The beds are not good. They aren't bad, but I wake up with a backache at DVC. My husband is worse. (I like a hard bed, he likes a hard bed and is more sensitive to a divot in the bed than I am).
On the plus side:
We LOVE having the kids sleep in a different room. This is an affordable way to do that.
On property this is one of the FEW ways to do that in anything approaching an affordable fashion. As the kids have gotten older, being on property means my son or daughter can grab a bus on their own - they can sleep in, or they can head back.
We - against my expectation - love having a washer and dryer right there. We come home with clean laundry and it is so easy to pop in a load every night, put it in the dryer every morning, fluff and fold it every evening. Likewise, the kitchen has been a boon to breakfast. We don't use it for other meals, but its great for breakfast.
Not quite. If you stay seven nights or less, you get your trash removed and towels replaced on day four. If you stay eight nights or more, you get a full cleaning on day four and trash removed and towels replaced on day eight. Then the cycle repeats. Adn if you need more towels than one per sleeping space, you need to pay for them.
BWV was fully renovated in 2010, so the furnishings shouldn't be replaced yet. Most complete renovations are about 10-15 years apart, if not more. OKW as 17 years from the time it opened until they renovated.
I should clarify my earlier post.
The furnishings at BWV seemed fine but the villa itself showed wear-and-tear. For example, loose tiles in the master bathroom, scuffed up floors & walls, poor fit on a couple of kitchen cabinet doors, etc.
Still, many have reported on other threads that their renovated BWV rooms looked great. We might have simply been in one that was aging a bit faster than other rooms.
At the DVC association meeting earlier this month, it was mentioned that BWV might replace soft goods (e.g. carpet, linen, towels, etc.) in 2-3 years.
One thing that we like about DVC is the ability to rent out our points (although that can be taken away at any time). This allows us to skip disney for a year if we like and monetize our points if we chose. So if we want to go to Maui one year we could rent out our 350 points for about $4,000 and use that towards lodging. It is just another option that the simple RCI exchange.
I wouldn't make a purchase with the plans to rent out points. You just don't know what DVC will do. A few years back, they limited the number of contracts a person could be an associate on, messing up David's earlier business method. They could come up with other ideas as well.
Plus you need to take taxes into consideration on your income from your rental.
