Overheard at Urban Baby

We've got readers who are addicted to Urban Baby and who like to send us little tidbits on home decorating that stir up responses on the site. A lot of help is needed out there! Here's the latest. Check out the speed of the responses:

Decorator Moms: I'm going to redo my kitchen. The dark stained oak cabinets and black stove/dishwasher are staying anything else is up for grabs. Any nice ideas for a color scheme? 9:15am

dark terracotta floors and backsplash? 9:17am

looks like you need to lighten up try using some burst of color in your backsplash 9:17am

hmm--how into color are you? I love pumkin or buttery yellow if light or you could do a navajo white w/ color accents (reds, greens, royal blues) if not. 9:18am

w/ those colors I'd do either a light backsplash or a b&w tile. 9:24am

maybe a light tan colored granite to lighten things up? Buy some kitchen mags for inspiration 9:18am

Thanks! 9:23am

All I've ever heard about that site is horror stories about all the competitive mothers (competitive about incomes, lifestyles, and children). I visited once and it was a bitch fest. Those must be the nicest posts on the whole site.

Sure they are helpful when it comes to backsplashes and color chips but beware the bitter knockdown debates on breastfeeding or working moms.

I love UB - it's such a crazy mix of baby, politics, real estate and snarkiness. I'm totally addicted..

Somebody oughta police that site, and when any interiors questions come up, the stock response should be "Ask those nice talented folks over on ApartmentTherapy.com".

That way, we can send all those here asking baby questions over there. ;)

careful, if they suspect anyone of flacking, they gut like a fish first and ask questions later.
