Well, my kids would think this was awesome. And so would their friends. I find the majority of the commenters on this post to be so beyond obnoxious. Like a bunch of jerky cool kids from some 80's John Hughes movie. "Eeew, a hobbit hole? Just... no." I can't decide if it's mostly nervous nellies who think that nothing is safe or the condescending wanna be cool kids who bother me more. You really ruin the site, readers. There are plenty of things here I love, and plenty that just aren't my cup of tea. And I typically refrain from being a jerk about the ones that aren't my taste. Also, have you guys ever met any children? They wouldn't be weirded out by the hobbit hole's origins as a doghouse! If anything, they would think that was even cooler.

Wow, amazing! Looks like so much fun!

I would skip the highchair. We had one with our first, and it just took up floor space with its huge footprint. Next 2 kids used a booster (the fisher-price healthy whatever that thing is called with the tray) or a Phil and Ted's Me too seat hooked up to the table. So much better. They preferred being right in on the action at the table, not relegated to the further away high chair. Maybe if I'd had a better high chair I might have felt better about it, but mostly it was just a beast to keep clean and I'm glad I sold it. I never missed it!

I love this list! A room with each of these things in it sounds cozy and like a place that kids would love. Maybe I should do it for my room too.

Do you think it would be possible to include links to each of the original posts shown in the pictures? I want to see the details about each of these! Fingers crossed...thanks! (presumptuous thanking always makes your requests come true, right?)

We have this adorable chair (in pink) and my kids really don't seem to mind that it's not ergonomic or cushioned in any way. My kids are 9, 6, and 3 years old and they love it. They love that it swivels, they love that it is height adjustable, and they love to pull it up to their desks and draw forever. It's a pretty great deal, too.

I have three kids, and they all wish they were in the same room together. The two oldest have been sharing since the third was born, and even though they are not the same gender they really prefer it. I wish we could fit them all in one! This is a really cute way to do it.

Awesome! Totally going to do this!

Wow, I didn't realize how many AT readers were such total jerks! If you don't like a product or can't use it, fine. But many of you sound so insulting. And "Old news"? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that everyone has heard of everything already. Why bother writing at all? It's all been written before apparently. I don't own one of these, I don't have a super strong opinion on it (though I have watched outdoor movies before and thought it was tons of fun). But lighten up and grow up, people! And no, I don't think it's tacit endorsement to post about something.

My brother has one of those that's actually meant to be a drawer organizer, like for silverware or other sundries in the kitchen. It's bamboo, I think, so it looks pretty enough on the wall, and didn't require sifting at the thrift store (nothing against that, I'm just bitter because I never score stuff as cool as what all these people online seem to find. Everyone else apparently has magical thrift stores!)

Love this room! You almost had me in tears thinking over the sweetness of so many things handmade by family for your baby. I love all the color, too.
