Twinterior Design: Full Hands. Full Heart. Full House.

Matter occupies space. Twice the matter occupies twice the space.

Now granted, twins don't mandate double the equipment acquisition, but there are key (and space occupying) doublings that are unavoidable....especially in those newborn/toddler days.

Until Darren and Sarah were about three, anyone entering our home knew within minutes via our "decor," that we had twins in-house.

Early on some space conservation was feasible; for instance, we let our cuties co-sleep in the same crib, but before too long...

[Do note the perpendicular placement; it was the only workable way!]

The centerpiece of our living room was Darren and Sarah's beloved (old-school, over-sized) playpen...
(No negative comments, please. Hand to Heaven, Darren and Sarah literally begged us to get it back when we finally passed it along to a young pal...who found it equally enjoyable.)

They certainly couldn't a share a single (space-consuming on its own) high chair...

Or exersaucer...

Or bouncy seat...
Or car seat... But as is the case with all things baby/babies, they grow ever-so rapidly. With occasionally more-than-slight nostalgia upon each phase passed and each item outgrown, the home returns to a more easily navigated (fewer stubbed toes and banged knees) living space.

Parental (okay, mostly maternal) weepiness at the wondrous dual growth is miraculously soothed by the newfound elements that adorn a house with growing twins.

So for those mourning the passing of the cribs, the swings, the stroller, be of good cheer. Each passing day your twins will find new ways to fill the freed-up space...in your home and in your heart.
