I have two boys, ages 5 and 2 1/2. I have been living in the wear of tear of their little existences since birth. I am looking forward to a re-vamp, but know that it would be fruitless at this point since they are still quite young. Does anyone know at what age the wear and tear is not so great? The age when the spills, and breaks slow down a bit, in where having something beautiful in the house will finally make sense??
