Growing up, our heights were marked in my mums italic hand on a spare piece of wall next to the alcove where the recipe books and toaster were. When we redecorated (which wasn't often), she traced all the marks and annotations onto paper, and copied them back onto the newly painted wall.

I'm itching to get our living/dining room repainted (white, with a yellow painted floor, since you ask), and think this idea in Cookie mag is a very sweet and simple treatment for keeping track of the kid's growth.

What a great room by UK designers Amok.

Love this Sydney home. Oh, what a gift, to have space.

If you're going the whole hog and redecorating a whole room rather than, you know, clearing out a drawer and calling it the crib, there's a fantastic resource here at Coochicoos.

I used to be pretty good at the piano, once upon a time. Alas, it's unlikely that I'll be reviving that skill any time in the foreseeable future (how would one even start to practice with a toddler in the house?). The legacy is a small, unremarkable, dark wood upright piano - but here's the catch, even a small piano is a large piece of furniture.

I've been wanting to paint ours ever since I saw a mint green glossy piano in a magazine spread somewhere, but it seemed like a desecration, somehow. But I think I'm coming round to the idea.

Timelapse movies are always cool aren't they?
