Furniture: This is a post with no words.

This post comes with a crappy giveaway. The first person to leave a comment below with a correct guess of what inspired the title will get a $5 gift card to Caribou, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf or whatever your fave coffee place is.

Yeah it's a tiny little prize but it's so no one cheats via Google or such and because I'd really just want to buy a drink for the winner but if you don't live in the Twin Cities it might be hard to meet up.

  3. We have monkeys all over my son's room. I'm gonna check that out too. I have a guess at the 'no words' thing, but I'll keep it to myself since I'm in FL. I don't want to ruin the contest.

  5. It is wordless Wednesday but the inspiration from the title comes from somewhere else.

    It may be a bit obscure...maybe too obscure.

    Anyone can win because I'll throw the giftcard in the mail.

  6. I have a couple questions :o) Can you tell me where you got the white shelves from and the cubes? I'm in the process of a baby room myself and I like how you did the cube set as a changing area. Thanks!

  8. Stacey..tomorrow I'm gonna do a bit of a write up on what's in the room but the shelves and cubes are both from Ikea.

  9. Ok I still haven't seen my guess so I'm going to try to comment again because I just
    NEED TO KNOW. I am thinking of the David Crosby song "a song with no words" (or at least I think that's the title and I think it's a Crosby song? Not allowing myself to google it!)

  10. Hey man, it's been a day so I'll take a guess now.
    Does the "no words" have anything to do with Ikea furniture assembly instructions?

    Check out my post named "going green" I"ll tweet it to you. I had a moment of insanity with the changing table.

  11. I like the idea of the furniture assembly, especially since it's a lot of Ikea...but that's not it.

    I also realized that not only is it obscure but it's obscure within it's obscurity...

    So if no one guesses by next Wednesday I'll announce the disappointing answer and if anyone comes close they will get the underwhelming prize...

  12. I'm a music person so I'd say the title is inspired by Songs without Words by Mendelssohn. Other than that I have no clue.

    Love the nursery. Very clean and peaceful looking.

  13. OK so the real answer was there is a song called Furniture by Fugazi, a fave punk band of mine. The first lyric in the song is "This is a song with no words." It's one of my favorite songs.

    Like I said it was super obscure...but parentinginprogress was the first comment that was close so I'll send her the crappy prize.

    Here's a link to a live version of the song http://ia301509.us.archive.org/3/items/fugazi2001-06-24.flacf/fugazi2001-06-24d2t02_64kb.mp3
