Artist Melissa Marks went all out when she planned the addition of a room for her son in her Manhattan loft.

She hired an architect and a LEGO master builder, and together, the three of them built a lofted bedroom using more than 20,000 LEGO bricks.

Now all this kid needs is a LEGO wall he can build things on top of, and he's pretty much set until he starts developing an interest in smooching.

It even looks like the loft has pretty nice storage — you can peek through more photos on the design firm's website, which show the entire apartment.

Circo? Is that a kid's brand? It had some circus-y merchandise around it, sure, but certainly I didn't buy something aimed at kids again, did I? Yep, that's my burden. To search the world for elephant-shaped mugs and eyepatch-wearing bird art. Hi. I'm Superman, and I buy children's decor but have no children (that I know about).

While in college, we gave up TV in order to see more of each other. Seven years and two kids later, and we're still without TV — and it's enabled us to live more richly!

When you're pregnant AND have a tour booked, about all you can do is get that baby on board and travel the country! Offbeat Mama has the story of The Golden Hearts and how they live with their baby on the road.
