Seriously...with the exception of a snake plant. It took me about 3 weeks to kill those plants. You have to have the right facing window for most plant. I have an eastern window and a not so green thumb and so far have only been able to keep a pothos living. So no real plants are not for everyone.

Hey Rhode! I was wondering if you were going to enter your room in this comp and was hoping also. You know I was for you in the "Room for Color" and I hope you the best in this one. Still the greatest room EVER!

Yes and if you click on the link of the stool/table from Eames it is $879.00 plus $30.00 shipping! Which is just, "Pardon my French" stupid!

I had that Walmart table it was out about six years ago. I ended up giving it to a friend and regretting it ever since. Not sure why it makes a difference where it came from when it is a piece of wood basically. I think it is highway robbery how much you spend for most stuff like this just because of the name. I bet it will last as long as the ones from the more expensive designers.

I usually do not comment on tours, but I had to on this one. I was so excited about this tour because I thought I was going to see some really pretty and vivid/colorful interesting rooms. And I like everyone else was dissapointed. I kept clicking through thinking the next picture would show me more of the room but no. This tour was so frustrating because it looks like it would have been a great tour had it not so many close-ups. When I saw a picture of an open drawer I thought really?!

I have three girls ages three, five and six. A white couch candle holders within reach and a lot of the elements the room has above. My girls are very active and curious and never left alone for much time. Do they sometimes pick up things that I rather they did not? Yes, but then I remind them that they have toys and my things are not their toys. And guess what, they put the objects back down. I agree with another poster who said you should not cater your whole design effort around children. Their are rules and a den that my girls have way more freedom in and they have a bedroom.

I believe if you teach a child to respect items, including their own, at a young age, that respect will go along way as they get older.

As long as the objects are not obviously dangerous, kid friendly means different things to different parents.

So if the owner is comfortable with the design and feels it is kid friendly for "his/her children" then congrats. Gorgeous!

Hi Polly, I was just going through the previous years contest and ran across your room in 2010. It was nice then, but you have really stepped it up since then and now this is spectacular! Great after!

As a fellow entry I have to vote for you because this is excellent use of yellow, which I LOVE! That lamp is perfect and the door painted yellow too cute. The mix of patterns soo nice.I think this might be the best yet in your division and one of the best of all. Great Job!
