I think it's great! I'm not sure what's up with the obligation people feel to leave negative comments, but it's so much more than most parents are able (or even willing) to do for their kids.

I was prepared for the worst when I read the words "faux snakeskin," but that's actually really cute. Awesome job!

@Pi - I have it in my kitchen and I like it because you can throw it in the washing machine if you spill anything on it. It's thin, though, so make sure you have a rug mat.

By the way, make sure you use heat to remove peel and stick contact paper if you go that direction because even the removable stuff can take the finish off a cabinet with it when you pull it off.

BTW, I'm not going through the other comments to see if these have been suggested:

Removable contact paper or wallpaper for the cabinets, you can do peel and stick tiles for the backsplash if you hate it enough that you can justify spending the money (I rec the mosaic ones because they have grout lines). You can use peel and stick tiles on the countertops, as well, but they're messy to remove, so it's probably a bad idea.

They have magnetic appliance covers or you can use wallpaper or fabric on the fridge if you hate the color. The cool thing about fabric is it actually insulates your fridge and makes it more efficient, but it's kind of a pain to put it on.

Those things can add up fast, but if you're going to be there for a while (or money isn't an object), they're good, quick solutions for completely changing the look of a kitchen. If you're really going to be there for a long time, you can probably talk to your landlord about making approved improvements, but don't do anything without written consent or you'll probably lose your deposit.

Totally inspiring me to go out and buy some (baby, dog and cat friendly) plants!

@SDAZZLE It's a valid question. I preferred having Ohdeeoh as a separate site (and I have a kid). I don't understand why people take comments like these so personally.

@STACEYSK Right?! I wonder what he wears to the laundromat. Maybe he's actually 90 lbs and has all of his clothes on his body in this picture.

I love this room and I don't want to be negative, but I'm kind of confused about the wooden box...

They sell them online at Home Depot (and maybe in the store, I never checked).

If you weren't planning on using it at all, I'd suggest maybe peel and stick tiles... I just covered my ugly countertops with them and I'm happy with the results, but they're removable with heat from a blowdryer, so you don't want them to be by a heat source.

Not envious of the people who got stuck with those jobs.
