Where's the Playpen?

I like to call it chic, others may use the word boring, but my home décor style is pretty minimalist, clean, modern and mid-century.  I use a lot of walnut and greys. 

After buying our first home last year, I went to great lengths to strategically choose each piece of furniture and am pleased with the way things are coming together.

Now here comes Baby Mac.  I KNOW he will transform my house from top to bottom in primary colors sooner than later, however I am trying to prolong the inevitable as long as possible.  Therefore, I've invested in several furniture pieces with lots of storage so I can put all his toys and supplies away, and am choosing neutral colors for most of my baby gear so it will blend in a little bit more.

As my home is three stories, we've invested in a multi-use playpen for our home,to put on our main floor so we don't have to go up and down all day long.   The playpen also acts as a bassinet (to nap in), a changing pad, and comes with storage and a laundry hamper -- and the best part is, its grey :) 

We've put it together and tucked it away in the middle of the room as discreetly as possible.  Can you find it?






I can already hear you mothers out there chuckling, as I'm pretty sure a week after I bring baby home, my house will be a downright mess for the rest of my life :)  I'm holding on to some dear hope in the meantime, trying to minimize looking like a daycare facility.

  2. Baby stuff is just big and bulky no way around it.. But then after that you'll have toys..Lots of toys..which will talk at all hours of the night. (: And you'll be those parents constantly searching for batteries.

    1. Talking toys!? I didn't even anticipate that! Well the longer I can compactly keep the baby stuff to one section the better. You seem to be doing a good job at your place, still looks glamourous!
