Oh give me a break...that's ridiculous. You speak as though everyone is running around in blackface or something. It's a child's birthday party, lighten up!!! They've got kiddie versions of teepee...

I think this is a great idea, I just visited a crafts blog that details how to make one of these playhouses that can fit over a table. It's homemadebyjill.com She's been on this site before.

Wow! I really like the history of this space, and what great use of space an color. I love all the music posters.

Wow. That orange dining room is HIDEOUS. What a beautiful home though, its a shame the decorating took such a wrong turn...

I'm sure if you or someone close to you knew how to crochet and had an extra 60 hours to spend making a throw blanket, a self-made one would be a good option, but I personally don't. Etsy has some...

I love Bostons. The look on its face is PRICELESS

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Vomit!

Foot scrapers from ye olden days.

I love this site so much, I responded to a post with a ton of suggestions from Velocity and I think they are all really great! It's an excellent design website with a lot of fresh ideas!
