    For the kids who have parents like the ones you describe, there are teachers
    (polished up with mom or dad-ness) like us! I think that I would love the
    feel of walking into your daughter's apt. My sister (8 yrs younger than me)
    told me a couple years ago that it was time I decorated my home like a
    grown-up with some sort of consistent theme. She gave me a pretty home
    interior piece, but I still had to decorate around it on the wall with
    re-made, home-made and found-stuff. She really liked it "anyway."
