@finja.... because paper is a finite resource and ends up in the bin after kids draw on it? Not very sustainable. Chalk boards etc are a greener option.

@ek76 - my thoughts exactly!

If you want your kids drawing on the walls (really?) put up some chalkboard paint - at least the colour change will help them see where they can and can't draw. Why are kids playing in bathrooms anyway? Get in, get clean, get out.

This is so lovely! I think, though, that as well as needing lots of natural light, you also need a decent sized room to pull off dark walls. I lust after having a dark-walled bedroom, but even though it faces west and is bathed in light most of the day, it is just too small - it would feel like a little cave of despair!

That is so wonderful!! I love painted DIYs, don't get me wrong, but agree it is so beautiful to see the wood!

There is a ten-year-old boy in my head, though, that sees boobs.... if it were in my house I'd switch the draws around.

(ps ATers seem to forget that the furniture featured in these posts is not madeover for them, but rather according to the owner's decor/taste)

why was my comment deleted, AT?

@home body - I had a small painting on canvas in my old bathroom and it fared fine.

I love the first print, a lot! I like the idea of water themed prints in the bathroom.

um @thera, the fridge is not next to the stove.... that "block of wood" is a shelf above what appears to be a microwave. I'd guess that the fridge is under the countertops or elsewhere in the dining space. Shame AT didn't reference this better.

This looks lovely though! If it were my kitchen, I would probably have more overhang of the countertop and create a little breakfast bar with some stools!

I don't understand why you would buy four different shades of grey? IMO it would work better to buy a dark base grey, and then create a true ombre effect by adding white paint. It doesn't look very cohesive as it is. I'd also change out the hardware... even just painting it a more complementary colour.

I too now see two smiling faces (with double chins!) - thanks to @mamamamaqc!!

And the YHL-ness of their site is odd... There's a definite wannabe vibe going on, especially with the baby.

The upside of this reaction, Maxwell, is that you had a loyal following who were reading and subscribing to this site when it featured design and home-centric posts. It isn't some positive side effect you should be glad about, you should be regretful for misreading an ENTIRE community of readers and potentially exposing children to topics that are not family friendly. This is relationship related, it doesn't matter that it might happen in the home. What's next - medical advice? Your arrogant little foreword just shows how little you care about the readership of AT. Do something decent with your budget, and hire a copy editor or hire someone to filter the plethora of spammers.

Also, I seriously hope an AT reader didn't actually email this in....
