decorating, cooking and s's Profile

It's fascinating to me that every time a celebrity or wealthy person has a room posted on this site, 50% of the posters turn green with envy and are unable to refrain from posting judgements about the room owner's lifestyle and personal values.... It's a room. That's it. It represents nothing beyond identifying the individual's aesthetics.

To me, it's a cute room. Perhaps a bit too dull and colorless for a kid's room, but nice none the less. I love ultra-modern decor, but in my opinion, it's a smidge too stark for children. Kids love color and fun.....

heymisslady... Ironic that your commenting on racism while presuming almost everyone on this site is a white female and therefore racist. It seems your prejudices run just as deep as many others on this post.

I try to avoid reading off-putting posts that degrade others. That being said, I get the general idea of some of the less than polite sentiments above.

Everyone should try to keep in mind that this world is beautiful becuase there is so much diversity. NYC would be a very dull place if everyone was the same religion, race, and culture. It's our differences that make life fun.

Maybe my son's name (Eryk), a traditional Polish name, isn't for everyone, but it's right for him and our family. Similarly, more unique American names are best for other kids. A name doesn't make a person less intelligent or more prone to crime.

I will say that names DO affect employment, but that's merely becuase people have pre-conceived (and often incorrect) notions on what a person should be.

But as you can see here, it's an uphill battle to encourage people to see individuals for what they are rather than relying on stereotypes

at least the responses are unanimous. The people who buy this definitely need to consider finding a better way to spend their time than personifying their pet.

incincerating is still MUCH better than having diluted medications in our water. My (NY) pharmacist also said to flush it. I don't think they're informed.

(although, I must be frank, the primary source of medications in our water is from urine... everyone gets a low dose of a birth control pill with every glass of unfiltered water!)

it's the second time I saw our crib and changing table on this site :-D

A truly beautiful room. It is simple, understated, and very stylish...

I LOVE the wall accents, the two tone credenza, and most of all that cute owl lamp! great job

honestly, there is no way to ensure people are respectful of the peace desired by other diners....

I've had a couple meals made much less pleasant by young children, but we were in a diner, which IMO is an appropriate 'family' environement.

the several times our meals were absolutely ruined by other patrons in expensive restaurants it was due to the adults behavior (ex. loud, yelling, drunk table of 8 on valentines day in a 20 seat romantic restaurant). we have yet to be irritated by children in high end establishments.

I hate to say it, but I suspect it is illegal to have a restaurant open to the public where they refuse to allow children into the establishment... to me, it sounds as if it topples over the line of age discrimination.

whoops, forgot the link explaining plastic ingredients:

funny the author begins with being bewildered about having a boy since there are almost no boys in the family....

THAT'S ME! Very few men in my family.... many women! I'm depending heavily on my husband to teach me everything about boys....

I love the mod dot decor pillow.... it could easily leave the nursery and enter the living room!

first thing I thought:

great, the toddler will run up the stairs and jump off the table when mom and dad aren't looking.... Kids are crafty... surely they'll be able to open up the stairs....

to me, not safe!
