There’s a vicious cycle going on. We blog about something and then we live with it. And while we do, we tackle other stuff and blog about that. Lather, rinse, repeat. So we’re not always good about keeping you posted on those older things that we’ve already talked about since we’re so busy gabbing about new stuff. Which probably explains why we get asked for updates on a handful of things nearly every day. In other words: it’s about darn time we followed up. So here’s a nice juicy post full of a bunch of those updates for everyone.
Cloth diapers: Believe it or not, we’re still using the very same original 12 cloth diapers that we got back in 2010 before Clara was born. We haven’t bought any more, replaced any, or bought liners. And two years later they’re still working really well for us. We do put Clara in a disposable overnight (she finally started wetting through the cloth – something we heard might happen for a while, and finally did), but one a day is only seven a week, so it’s not bad at all. As for their shape, they’re still holding up really well. We do have a busted snap here or there (we’ve lost one snap on two of the twelve diapers, but it doesn’t keep them from staying on since there are multiple snaps on each side to hold them). Their color and fabric is in great condition and they look pretty close to new, actually.
Here’s the inside of them (these pics were taken yesterday):
We’re thrilled that we haven’t had to buy any more diapers for our stash or add extra liners (they’re all-in-ones, read more on them here) and they really do seem to be one size fits all since they’re still working for us even with Clara being about 300% bigger than she was at birth. So that’s the update on the cloth diaper front. Here’s the original post all about cloth diapering (which has tons of info in the post and the comment section) along with a one-year-in update post on the subject.
Karl The Sectional: Love him. Still looks the same and feels just as comfy after over a year of kid/dog abuse. The dark slipcovers (we went with Dark Sivik Gray, which is almost like denim and super durable) hide almost everything. So much that we haven’t had to wash them much, but when we do we use our own washer and dryer at home (ya don’t need an industrial one or anything) and they go back on and look great. I think different Karl fabrics have different rules – the Dark Sivik Gray fabric says “machine wash” but other fabric choices might be “dry clean only.” Our one minor complaint would be that the hold-it-in-place velcro to keep the chaise cushion from slipping out and hanging over the chaise like an overbite doesn’t catch correctly (it doesn’t seem to line up) so that cushion migrates out slowly over time. So every few weeks I notice and shove it back into the sofa. No biggie. Probably could just add a strip of velcro on the back that lines up to solve it once and for all. Here’s the original post about getting Karl.
Ed The Bed: He’s the other man in our life from Ikea (Swedish product names like Karlstad and Edland made for some pretty easy nicknames) and we’ve been very happy with him. Still sturdy and comfortable, so when we collapse into bed at 1am after some DIY extravaganza (gotta get stuff done while the kiddo sleeps) we’re happy to be there. Here’s the original post about getting Ed.
ORB’ed hardware: This is something a bunch of you guys have wanted an update on, so here it is, complete with pics. Stuff still looks mint. Admittedly we don’t use the front door (or the doorknocker) very frequently, but here are some shots that I took yesterday of them:
On the other hand, we open the sunroom slider and the door that leads outside at least ten times a day to let Burger in and out and they’re also still doing great. So we would definitely recommend this method (sanding them with something very high grit is going to be our approach when we tackle the interior knobs someday) and we’ll keep you posted if they suddenly start giving us trouble.
Kitchen lab stools: We have only had these bad boys a few months, but we sit on them numerous times a day and usually eat dinner on them, and for $33 a chair, they couldn’t be better. Would I want to lounge in them for six hours while watching The Titanic on repeat? No. Are they comfy for proofreading book layouts, eating dinner, writing cards, paying bills, laptop usage or any other thirty-minute-to-an-hour-long activity? Absolutely. I would warn you that to get them without the back might seriously compromise the comfort-factor, since the awesome flexing back seems to be one of the things that makes them so comfy. Here’s a link to the original post about finding our kitchen stools.
Chair in Clara’s room: I probably logged five hours a week of nursing Clara for fourteen whole months in this chair, along with John and I sitting down to read Clara the occasional story (which still occurs) – so for our family, this chair has been great. That’s not to say that some of my very best friends don’t swear by a cushy rocking/swivel chair, but perhaps from getting used to nursing everywhere (in a parked car at Target? Check.) it’s actually one of the more cozy places. The rounded shape supported my arms in a nice way (an armless slipper chair might be a nursing challenge if you’re completely zonked and want somewhere to rest your arms) and we always keep an ottoman or pouf nearby for putting the ol’ feet up. Totally worked for me. Here’s a link to the original chair-finding post and the nursery reveal post about our $20 thrift store chair.
White cabinets: Sometimes people ask if white cabinets get dirty or are hard to keep clean, and perhaps we’re just used to them (we had them in our first house’s kitchen for over four years before moving here) but we always think they look clean by nature (after all, they’re bright white). And since cabinet paint is completely scrubbable, they definitely don’t seem high maintenance to us. It’s not like white fabric (which can be stained) since cabinet paint like the alkyd stuff we used is slick, durable, and can be cleaned with a wet rag, sponge, or paper towel (you know, because spaghetti sauce happens).
We probably wipe away some random cabinet splatter once or twice a week for a total of sixty seconds spent cleaning them. As for dusting them, we have yet to do this since painting them in December, and they still don’t have any dust collecting around the inset rectangle part, perhaps because it’s pretty shallow and angled as opposed to shelf-like (it did collect there in our old kitchen with shaker cabinets, so once every month or so I’d run a microfiber cloth over them – no biggie). Here’s a link to the original cabinet-painting post with more info about the process/result in the post and the comment section for ya.
White Corian: We’re much happier with our Corian (in Glacier White) than we feared we might be. We worried it would be a pain to keep clean and although we read that it was nonporous, we worried that something would somehow seep into it and stain. But so far, we have had zero staining issues (even with things like strawberry juice and spaghetti sauce), zero scratches (we hear white Corian is the best about not getting scratched up), and they’re easy to keep clean. We always wiped down our old counters every night before bed anyway, and they were veiny granite so nothing showed – which was a problem! We’d find a glob of peanut butter from three nights ago on the counter that we somehow missed. So gross! It’s nice to see everything and just swipe it all down and wake up to a sparkly white room.
The one thing we’ve heard is that you can crack Corian by setting a searing hot pan down on it, but in our last house even with granite we used trivets, so that’s just part of our routine anyway. But the best thing about them has been the zero seams thing. In our first kitchen crumbs would build up or get caught in the seams, but without them our entire counter with our undermount sink is truly seamless, so it’s so nice to sweep things into the sink without hitting any little divots where those seams are. When we ordered our Corian we didn’t even know it was a seamless material, so that was a total unexpected bonus. Here’s a link to our original post about choosing Corian and a post about getting it installed, both with tons of info in the post and the comment section for ya.
Open shelves: Love is a conservative adjective for how we feel about them. Sometimes I want to kiss them. Open mouthed. They’re definitely not for everyone, but we use the things on them so frequently that they don’t have time to get dusty. And you should see me unload the dishwasher or set the table, it takes two seconds. It’s also a lot easier to do things like pour a bowl of cereal with a toddler on my hip. Seriously, we’re so sold we’re a little sad that we didn’t work open shelves into our first house’s kitchen – we were totally missing out. Here’s a link to a post about choosing open shelves and a post about building them and loading them up.
HP Photosmart C4780: Truth be told, I tossed this guy in here because it felt like we were giving too many glowing reviews. So I racked my brain to think of something we don’t like. Hah. And it’s this poor guy. He just can’t be trusted to wirelessly print something (sometimes it inexplicably shoots out one page of something and then takes ten minutes to print the second page or never even prints it at all). It’s just a bit too quirky for our tastes, but we did have an Epson that we loved a few years ago (it didn’t print wirelessly, so we later upgraded to this one). We’ll probably go back to that brand and see how their wireless capabilities are someday when we get mad enough to want to throw this guy out the window (sometimes we’re thisclose).
Nikon D3000: Other than still learning how to use it, which is to be expected (we’re faaaar from pro photographers) we’ve been really happy with our camera. We saved our pennies for a while before taking the plunge into DSLR territory, but with a baby on the way (Clara) we thought it was time to upgrade from our little point and shoot. We’re so glad we did, because we definitely get better pics of our family and better photos for the blog. Our only gripe used to be that they didn’t make a cheap nifty fifty (an inexpensive 50mm lens) for this type of Nikon (it only worked with D90s and others closer to that model) but they came out with this one about a year ago and we got it (we don’t typically use it for any blog pics since it’s not as wide of an angle lens as the stock one that came with the camera, which is better suited for interiors). But it’s great for a moving kid or dog in low light, so we like it for Clara/Burger pics and general family stuff (like her interesting hair fashions). Here’s a post about getting our new camera with lots of info in the post and the comment section for ya.
So there you have it. Hope that was helpful. What do you have in your house that’s been surprisingly awesome? Or surprisingly disappointing? Are there any brands you always love or products you wish were different? It’s so great to hear about stuff that you guys like, and learn from your don’t-get-this warnings.
Psst- In the mistakes-we’ve-made/what we’ve tweaked vein, check out this post, this post, and this post. We definitely make our fair share of mistakes! We just try to keep learning as we go, and allowing our house to evolve over time.
Sarah says
I apologize if you’ve already answered this somewhere along the line–but I was wondering if you have any regular system of sanitizing (or descaling?) your washing machine since you use it for cloth dipes? I’m looking for a method to try with my front loader.
YoungHouseLove says
We just wash them with a rinse cycle at the end and have no issues with sanitizing in our front loader. We did the same thing at our first house (also had front loaders) without any issue. We use a diaper sprayer to remove the gross stuff from dirty diapers before they go into the wash, which is definitely something we think is key for keeping them in good shape and not getting the washer too gross. It’s definitely meant to rinse things like that though- so we never find things on clothes that we wash afterwards or have any smell issues or anything. Hope it helps!

I see you’ve gotten a lot of suggestions for night time cloth diapers already but wanted to say that BG Elementals are my favorites for the day but at night I love the EcoPosh one size fitted with a Rumparooz one size cover. If you need any help figuring out a nighttime cloth system that would work for you feel free to email me. I own a cloth diaper store and am happy to help. :)
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks Elisa! Will have to look into those!

Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
Awesome that the diapers worked out so well! Do you manage with 12 by washing daily? I have more than twelve but use the BumGenius pocket diapers at night now that my son is a MAJOR night peer. I used disposable for a while until I found that using double inserts in the diapers.
YoungHouseLove says
We washed every day and a half in the beginning and now do a load every two days (six per day work out for her since she sleeps in a disposable). Thanks for the double insert tip! Everyone has given us so many things to try, we can’t wait to see what works!

Anna says
We have some of those same cloth diapers that you do and LOVE them! :). Mine are all ripped up on the inside though, but it doesn’t affect the function!
What we love? Our pink lazy-boy that is as old as I am! Seriously it looks horrendous but is the comfiest thing and I’ve nursed both my kids in it (still nursing my 15 month old!) Someday we’ll pay for a new one.
Morgan says
I read this a while back and meant to comment… But pockets for nighttime for Clara would be such an easy solution since you wash cloth dopes anyway! I love BG pockets and inserts (I’m a fan of the zorb doublers on etsy from a seller called Twinkle Toes) but you could use the standard microfiber and I’m sure two stuffed in (or one with a AIO BG dipe) would last through the night for Clara!
I’m commenting on my phone but I could send the etsy link over if you were ever interested.
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for the tip Morgan!

PS of you wash your dopes every 2 days you’d only need 2 :).

I don’t know if anyone has already suggested these, but we use Kawaii Goodnight Heavy Wetter overnight cloth diapers. They are amazing! They’re way cheaper than BumGenius diapers and my daughter has yet to wet through them…which is saying a lot, because she wets through ALL overnight disposables! Highly recommend them :) I got them from Kelly’s Closet, and they were fabulous, too :)
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for the tip Amy!

We have the same cloth diapers and love them! Perfect for traveling and they’ve held up great so far in the 1 year we have used them.
Steph says
Thanks for the update on the bumgenius diapers! Our son is only 5 months in, but we are LOVING cloth diapering. It is saving so much money, and it kills me when we have to buy disposables (they are so darn expensive!) for vacation, etc.
Thanks for the tip at the beginning of your cloth diaper journey- it turned me on to the BumGenius 4.0’s and that is what most of our stash is. I am glad to hear your AIO’s are going strong after almost 2 years… I hope to use ours for several kiddos!

BumGenius should sponsor you guys- or offer a discount through you!! I just purchased 6 BumGenius Elemental diapers today, 100% because of your suggestion (I tried to research them before but your testimony sold me!), and will be buying another 12 online at the end of the week after a baby shower.
Thats a pretty good sale for the company because of you guys.
Thanks for the post of keeping baby things tidy also! Great functional ideas.
YoungHouseLove says
Wahoo! We’re happy to sing their praises because they rock! Enjoy those sweet cloth buns when they come!

Jessica Davis - Nest Studio says
So how often do you change her diapers and how many months is Clara now (sorry I should be following along in more detail)? I know all babies are different but would love to know to get a sense of what I have in store :)
YoungHouseLove says
Clara’s 23 months (almost 2) and we change her diaper every three hours or so. She usually just gets one when she wakes up, one around lunch, one around 3, one around 6 and one around 8 when she goes to bed for the night (and sleeps until 8 the next morning, when we wake up and start all over again). So that makes five a day- although when she was smaller it was much more – like 8-10 I think.

ERae says
Ooh, I feel you about the HP. Most of the time it’s fine, works fine (AS IT’S SUPPOSED TO) and then every now and then… nothing. Doesn’t help that it broke two months after we got it and then sent us 5. Duds. In. A Row. Never again. I know no brand or machine is infallible, but it’s been a little ridiculous. We also have a Brother laser printer, the ink is more expensive but we just finished our starter cartridge 8 years later.
Sarah says
I just want to echo all of the folks who have suggested using hemp inserts in your BGs! We’ve never had a nighttime leak using one hemp insert and the bigger BG insert.
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for the tip!

Hi there!
I too a cloth diaper-post follower :) We are due in early July. Since you posted your original about BG, I have done further reading and still like the BG idea best. Hopefully we’ll get some as shower gifts! Otherwise, my mom and I have sewn some using JoAnn’s Babyville products. Anyhow, I also enjoy all your home improvement/project ideas. Thanks.

Aw, good luck with the wee one on the way Amy!

Love the ottoman in front of your sofa. Where can I find one? Also….I have the same printer & I can’t get it to work wireless either :(

We got our ottoman on sale on jossandmain.com – but maybe try wayfair.com or overstock.com if it’s not currently in a jossandmain.com collection (since those go in and out frequently).

Just ordered our very own Karl (we live 6 hours from IKEA, but there’s a local firm that goes weekly and delivers it, for a surcharge.) Anyway, I notice you did refinish the legs at some point – did you ever post about that?
YoungHouseLove says
Yes, we spray painted them with oil-rubbed bronze! I think if you search Karl ORB in our search box it should come up!

Cloth diaper question.
We have been cloth diapering our little guy (who will be 5 months this week!) with prefolds and covers (30 prefolds, 6 covers) during the day and a pocket diaper (we own 4)with extra liner at night. I have loved it so far. But since he is getting wigglier we have decided to pack away the prefolds for the next baby and stick with pocket diapers. Diaper Junction does a 30 day test drive so we picked up an Bum Genius Elemental and a Bum Genius pocket to test out. He tends to go through 12 or so diapers in 1.5-2 days. with the prefolds I can wash and machine dry them and hang the covers, they dry really quick. But the Bum Genius Elementals take forever to hang dry (so far over 12 hours).
Did you dry yours in the dryer since you just have 12? Are you washing everyday? I like the feel of the elementals just not sure with the drying (hanging them) time if 12 would be enough and they are on the pricier side. Do you travel with the cloth or do disposable?
Thanks!
YoungHouseLove says
We wash every two days or so (now that she’s bigger we go through around 6 a day with one disposable in the mix for the nights) and our energy efficient washer really spins things like crazy so they only come out damp, so one romp through the dryer gets them dry or leaving them on a windowsill usually means they’re dry by morning. Hope it helps! Oh and we do disposables when we travel just because it’s hard to wash them on the go.

Rachael says
disregard the other post. found your previous cloth diaper update :)
Bella says
I know the wireless printing problem with the printer,(though it died 2-3 months ago). Fascinatingly enough it worked just fine with my boyfriend’s windows pc but wouldn’t print wirelessly at all from my macbook. Now I got a different HP all in one printer and it has the same problems you’re describing…
Drives me reaally nuts sometimes.
I love your living room though. It looks so comfy :) Also the bed looks totally awesome with the new headboard.
Actually I just recently added a white wood one to my bed and it looks so posh now (i have the ikea brimnes bed and headboard with drawers and storage which is AMAZING I store my extra bedding and towels in there)
Courtney says
Quick question about Karl – do you find the back too low for prolonged sitting periods? ie. movie watching time?
We are contemplating a Karl for our basement but the back seems to hit us right about shoulder blade level. Do you ever find yourself wishing the back was a little higher?
YoungHouseLove says
Oh no, even tall John (he’s 6 feet) has no issue. We have spent full days on that sofa. You sink in, so you can rest your whole back on it. Very cozy.

natalie says
i didn’t read through all the comments, but the ones i did i saw a few people suggested using an insert with your normal bge diapers. if you either don’t want to try that, or tried it and it still leaked, i’d suggest kawaii goodnight heavy wetter diapers. my son leaked out of most other diapers we put him in at night except those, they are working great for us so far. i also wash diapers every other day so i only needed to buy two.
also, have you had to replace your wet bags yet? i also have a large planetwise that i wash with every diaper load, and i’ve noticed around the handles it’s starting to get small holes. i’ve only been using it since decemeber and was surprised to see it already showing signs of wear
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for the tip! We are still using the same wet bags, maybe yours were defective? I would ask them why they’re wearing out so fast. Maybe they’ll replace them?

You inspired my husband and I to use cloth diapers for our new baby girl, Lucy. We specifically went with BumGenius based on your experience with them, and the fact that they are from a company in our hometown (Cotton Babies in St. Louis) is icing on the cake. We opted for their newest all-in-one, the Freetime and we really like it so far. Thanks for all the follow-up posts and tips on cloth diapering!
Vickie says
I combed through the comments. If I missed this, SORRY! We also use BGE. We have 21 but that is more because I work out of the home and the extras make it less stressful. We use pockets at night for extra absorbancy. When we traveled recently I used disposables for ease of use and he leaked through everyone! What brand/type are you using to last through the night?
YoungHouseLove says
We love Seventh Generation. They’re all we’ve used other than cloth.

So I just went to a cloth diaper class at Franklin Goose in Carytown, and I was telling them how your blog post made me want to do cloth diapers as well. They said so many people come into their store and talk about how y’all inspire them to do cloth diapers!! Thanks for the great info!

Lisa says
Well, I know this isn’t an “active post” per see… and it’s been over a month since someone’s commented, but i wanted to add in my 2 cents. We’ve been CD’ing our first son for almost 9 months now and I LOVE them too!!! I am so glad we went this route – both for the financial and environment savings. I have about 15 different brands (1-2 of each). I may have overdone it. I did end up selling 10 that I wasn’t thrilled with (and recouping 2/3 of what I spent on them.) For nighttime heavy wetting and that 12-13 hour stretch, we LOVE our Blueberry Bamboo pockets with the Bamboo insert (I have 2 of these). Also a Tots Bots Bamboo fitted (only have 1 of these) with any of kind of cover of your choice. I will NEVER have leak with those diapers and can rely on them no matter what.
I love how mainstream cloth diapering is becoming. It is one of my most favorite aspects of my son’s life… that sounds weird, but cloth diapering my son truly brings me joy! In knowing we’re not wasting money and filling up landfills, in seeing that he’s never had a single diaper rash and only 1 blow out in 9 months of life, in seeing how sweet and fun the prints are or how colorful they are! I can just go on and on about the benefits!
Jenn says
Not sure if you posted this somewhere else… (I just discovered your blog!) :)
Where did you get that cream leather square ottoman that you have with your IKEA Karl couch?

I tried doing swing in/out curtain rods for the entry to my laundry room. MAJOR FAIL. They didn’t hold the weight of even LIGHT fabric and they didn’t swing well either. So that is one fail.
But we successfully put a cabinet between our two bathrooms (they back up to each other). The cabinet opens from both bathrooms and is where we keep all our towels, etc. We had a plumber take the stack into a “U” shape to make room for the cabinet.
Another fail: although I will never admit it to my husband, I actually made our kitchen island TOO BIG (who thought it was possible?) but otherwise I love it.

We’re looking into getting the Karlstad in Sivik gray as well, but we noticed the website now says Dry Clean Only for the covers in this fabric… Did it change? Or is the website messed up I wonder… I would love to have the washabilty but don’t like any of the covers that offer it (according to the site). Urgh!
YoungHouseLove says
Weird! I have definitely washed ours on cold with tumble dry low and they’re doing great!

Amber says
Ok, so I just got the Karlstad, same fabric, and washed the covers before I out them on (no drying!). My question is, did you guys find them to be almost like an outdoor fabric? I want desperately for them to soften up, have yours done that yet? Any tips on washing techniques that may help?
I love the size of mine and I know the coushins will get softer eventually, just worried about the fabric. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.s. Your blog is an awesome inspiration for me to actually tackle some of the tasks in my home FINALLY! In the words of Daniel Tosh “And for that, we thank you”.
YoungHouseLove says
Hmm, I would describe them like a soft denim, so not crunchy like outdoor fabric. Maybe after some more use yours will break in? Or maybe they’re made of something different than the ones we got two years ago?

Amber says
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that, unfortunately, they may be a different material. I’ll hold out and see if they soften up. Hey, I could always go buy new ones if they don’t! Love that flexibility. :)
Roxanne Beckford Hoge says
Thanks for all the super helpful info (we’re about to buy a seriously ugly but roomy ranch with good bones that needs some love) and I’ll be using all you’ve learned on our wooden paneling and kitchen makeover. We cloth diapered four kids (last two twins) but because we live in LA and didn’t want to get too crazy, we used a service. ;)
People actually made fun of us on camera (we were in the first season of Bringing Home Baby, think the episode is on our site) but I loved not adding to the landfill and always having the diapers I needed right at home. You guys are a super resource!

Love your blog. Found it today! Why did you choose satin over semi-glass paint for the cabinets. I feel like all the other blogs chose semi gloss. Also, how are they doing now? I think it’s been over a year if I read it right!!
YoungHouseLove says
We had found that satin held up very well in other places – like on the cabinets in our office and on trim around the house – so we wanted to go with something with slightly less sheen. They are doing great even today, over a year later, so we’re very happy with the choice.

I love this kitchen renovation so very much! I shared it on my blogs “Pin It Faves” yesterday!!! Love it!!

Love, love, love your blog and have for many years! In fact I remember reading your post on Karlstad by Ikea sectional and I love the color. So, I am thinking of getting one and wondered, since it’s now 9/2013, are you still happy with it? Would you have done anything different? Did you get it delivered and did they bring it in (I realize that may seem odd but I ordered an treadmill from a major retailer and the deliver company does NOT bring it in)? And lastly, any advice in making my selection?
Thank you!!!
