I completely agree with pyewacket, LeahE, jmorri26 and several others. Kids should do chores because they are part of the family not because they are being paid. I give my son an allowance and it has been awesome. Every time he wants to buy something, he has to use his allowance. Video games, video rentals, candy, etc. He has learned that there are consequences for not planning. Also it has taught him about choices. He knows he can't have everything he wants; just like the rest of us. This year we are having him keep a journal of what he spends his money on so he can look back and reflect on his choices.

Very nice! It's so dramatic and modern and yet simple and kid-friendly. Great job. I'd love to know more about the art.

@Scarlet Tentacle: I had the exact same thought.

Wow - I really like this. Great job!

Bravo mckate! My sentiments exactly.

Love this place! Very inspirational. Your house is very similar to mine (though yours is much nicer!) in color and textures, so you have given me some good ideas on display and organization.

One question: Where did you get the rug?

I have to agree with LowBrowLawnParty and zoee. I think the paint on the walls is the issue at this point. It may just be a trick of the photos, but it really takes over and colors everything else. If you don't want to change the yellow walls to another color (or shade of yellow), I think you should at least wait until everything else is in the room before deciding whether to paint the fireplace.

Fabulous, fresh room!

Super cool.
