at jackied302- children (and adults) should be free to dress up and wear costumes for historical periods, occupations, fantasy characters, etc... but you don't "dress up" as a race- it is entirely...

I just realised that I think there are actual bars on the windows. That may have subconsciouly also influenced my assessment of a children's detention centre.

I'm not sure if it is just due to the all white in that room (ie paint, window treatment, beds, and floor), but to me, it is eerily reminiscent of a children's detention centre. Maybe more colour?...

Hmm, I know this wasn't the intent of the thread, but I have to say that I LOVE that toilet paper holder (I am picturing it painted white). If anyone knows where I can get one online, pleas...

I think they're all great... except possibly for the third photo, of which I cannot discern what they have created- a child's fort?

Please stop encouraging people to decorate by hanging rectangles. It is really not nearly so intelligent nor mysterious as some people seem to believe. Stop the insanity, Apartment Therapy- cease...

Looking at the pic, I am not sure a conventional sized sandwich would fit in any of the compartments.

The new bedroom is lovely, but I want to cry for the discarded wainscotting which obviously had a great deal of care and work go into its installment. The original room had character, I only wish ...

yech. sorry, this idea is less genius, and more ugly. also impractical.

I don't really understand why the ohdeedoh post puts this dollhouse in Saskatchewan, but here it's in Manitoba...

This got picked up by the regulary apartment therapy thread as well (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/boston/artwork/lifesize-dollhouse-by-heather-benning-082557)... ...only over there ...

does anyone know of an online resource of where to purchase shamrock plants?

i am a little confused by the third picture. when you go to wash your hands at the sink, it appears that you have to then kneel on the raised wood platform and then lean over in order to reach the ...

I think this is a great project for a really sad looking dresser in poor condition. However, in this instance you had an absolutely stunning antique wood dresser which might have best benefited fr...

Brilliant!

Yep, my usage charge for my electric bill is usually between $13-18. I have a three bedroom house, have a hot shower everyday, and use hot water for my laundry about half the time. I think R...

That kitchen is beautiful! No matter how unfortunate the old hunter green paint is, nothing can make those beautiful cupboards look any less charming.

I would absolutely encourage everyone to try #5- Bookmooch ( www.bookmooch.com ) has become a real life saver for me! I get free (second hand) books all the time now, and it's available everywhere ...

I agree- that top photo is heartbreaking. I hope no children really live there. It looks like a movie set for a room where the big bad kidnappers keep children until their parents pay the ransom.

Yes, it is a great idea. But I'm sure I've seen it on AT at LEAST a half dozen times. This is beyond just one repetition of the idea.
