my happy place...
Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 10:43AM hello, i feel the need to vent a bit...two nights ago ms. lu decided to gift us with a full night's sleep. i was optimistic. i thought we had crossed into the magical place, a place where we would no longer be getting up with a baby in the middle of the night. ha! was i ever wrong! we paid for 2 nights ago with a night that made the early days with lu look like child's play...a wide awake interruption from 11:00-2:30ish! i would gladly go back to one brief waking per night over a full nights sleep followed by a night of partying until 2:30. just thought i would put it out there.
needless to say, a happy place is definitely in order today. this norwegian apartment is so darn perfect. in a world where we are always striving for a bigger space it is refreshing to find a home where smaller is the answer. the owners of this flat chose to remove a bit of square feet in exchange for an open, airy space. such a good decision...
besides being simply beautiful, i just know the babies sleep through the night here. it's my happy place for the day, and i say it's so. xo mrs. french

I love that -- looks so airy! the globes are a great touch!
What a perfect space! I so feel your pain on the sleep thing. Neither of my two were good sleepers. My son who is now 5 didn't sleep through the night until he was 3 and still gets up and crawls into our bed occasionally. My daughter who is now 3 didn't sleep through until after she turned 2. Both are still super early risers :( I hope your little Lu figures it out sooner than that. With happy spaces like that to look at, I know she will! Hang in there. It really does get better and then somehow you forget about back when they didn't sleep...Best of luck!
Well, then I concur, it is definitely so! Gosh, I only wish my house was so clean and simple...a girl can dream, ya know?! I think when my house grows up, it inspires to be like this one...well, maybe instead of "I think" the correct wording should be "I hope..."
ohhhhh my god. are those GLOBES hanging from the ceiling?!? excuse me while i go pass out, and dream about floating worlds.
I totally feel your sleepless pain. My almost 3 yr old was up half the night and it's pretty normal for him. I keep telling myself "this too shall pass" but some days I wish it would hurry itself along. If that has really does make babies sleep then I am booking my family the next flight out! I'm sure the family wouldn't mind us crashing their pad, right? I absolutely love their Catherineholm collection in the kitchen!
small is good, except when it comes to sleeping durations....smiles.
This is such a whimsical and charming home! I love all the bright open space - I can see why it's your happy place!
Ahhhh... non sleeping babies! Ours is only 9 days today... so we're getting used to the whole no sleep... okay, not really. Last Thursday night I tried getting her down around 10 and she was not having any of it until 2:30 either... thankfully, she slept for a few hours after that... I've learned I'll take 3 hours straight to start my night off any day, since she's bound to wake up. Hope you're blessed with some more full night sleeps soon! :) (And this place does indeed look happy and like the babies sleep through the night... can I come too?)
