Thank you, above commenter, for pointing out that watching the Flintstones is NOT the same as playing educational games. My daughter has learned SO much being online it amazes me. Such a fun and engaging way to learn. I'm envious I never had the same.

Something about the distressing makes this look more shabby than chic. I do like the gradient idea though.

I painted my son's dresser drawers in the primary colors (matched his room), but the point I'd make is that I used small bottles of craft paint from the Dollar Store. Never chipped, no problems.

I like it. The pink paint was the worst I've ever seen. Who would do that? Especially with ithe white-washed cabinets. Anything would have been an improvement over that.

Oh, I LOVE the last one. That said, I have tried to wallpaper ... and I fail. Never again will I put myself through that torture.

I almost got taken in the Distant Buyer Scam. I was selling my aunt's rocking chair on Kijiji for $500. The guys story was that he was buying furniture in advance of moving to our city. When the bank draft arrived it was for $2500 and it was noted that it was paying for the rocker and a bedroom set. When I contacted the buyer he said his wife had made the mistake, thinking they bought both items from me. Would I cash the money order and send him back the $2000. (I was honored he would place such trust in me) It was the bank who decided the bank draft was phoney, and the local police were aware of the person's name. I felt like a fool.

Based on the last few posts from Apartment Therapy that have popped into my reader ... I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone today. And I have nothing nice to say about this fixture, except that my kid could make an accurate reproduction of, so I will say goodbye.

Funny ... I read "rubbish" and had to go look again ...
I was also distracted by Mommy's awesome handwriting.

I was always made to sit at the kids table. I was the oldest of the grandchildren and HATED it. I'll never exclude my kids.

I keep seeing the ceiling medallion idea in different places. I don't know where you folks shop, but they are NOT inexpensive where I come from. The arrangement in that picture would be about $200.

This is a taller desk at 30", but I'd bet you $200 it's still pressboard.

Cute ... lots of cute stuff out there, but no matter what I try, the shoes still end up in a huge pile by the door. Me? Yes, me too.
