Expensive Designer Bedrooms for Children

Filed under: Decor


What a dream for a little girl or boy to have a bedroom modeled after their favorite fairytale or movie! Of course the rich and famous can afford to give their kids whatever they want, and they aren't hesitating to do just that when it comes to bedroom design and decor. One designer says "if you can draw it we can make it," which is resulting in every creation you can imagine -- from a $47,000 pumpkin-shaped carriage bed (Cinderella) to a Tom Thumb room consisting entirely of over-sized furniture.

It's not unusual for these designer bedrooms to end up costing $50,000 to $100,000 by the time they're complete. Would you spend that much on your child's bedroom? Especially considering they'll probably grow out of the theme and want something new in a year or two?

Decor that Will (and Won't) Fly on a Private Jet

Filed under: Decor, Wings


The whole idea of having a private jet, besides the obvious privacy aspect, is that you get to have it decorated however you want, right? Maybe not, depending on exactly what features you're after. Any plane that wants to fly in U.S. airspace has the Federal Aviation Administration to comply with, and no matter how fancy you make it a plane just isn't any fun when it's stuck sitting on the ground.

On the bright side, many features can be modified or changed to where they're still enjoyable but don't break any laws -- like chandeliers are okay if they're retractable, and you can have all the heavy mahogany and big screen TVs you want as long as you're willing to trade off in terms of increased fuel and lower over-all capacity for things like passengers and cargo.

So what isn't okay, ever, on a plane? An open flame, which automatically rules out features like fireplaces and gas stoves.

But as long as you have a golden toilet, who cares.

Dreaming Of A Black Christmas, Part II

Filed under: Decor

I think we can officially call black the holiday color this season. Like black nailpolish, black holiday decorations are everywhere. If you aren't ready for the full black tree you can always pick up the black and platinum accessories from Bergdorf Goodman. The black-tie tree, wreath and garland fetchingly combine holographic silver tinsel with black crystal accents. Prices range from $300 for a garland to $540 for an ornament set of 72 black/silver/platinum shatterproof spheres with crystal accents. I think Andy Warhol would approve.

A Spooky Halloween Light Display

Filed under: Gadgets

Halloween is a great holiday, in large part because of all the treats, although the costumes and parties that accompany the holiday are fun, too. The decorations, unfortunately, tend towards being dull or cheesy. You don't want to scare all the trick-or-treaters too badly, particularly if your neighborhood happens to have a lot of very young children, but it's hard to come up with an impressive display without setting up a movie-quality set. By using a Light Display Projector, you can set up a great display (even better if you use a fog machine, as well) without having blood-soaked zombies lurking behind corners. The projector has several interchangeable designs, including deer, stars, balloons, skaters, witches, bats, and ghosts so it can be used again and again, and a rotating mirror ball keeps the images moving. Price: $89.95.

Chocolate Rooms by Prudence Emma Staite

Filed under: Decor, Dining

If Hansel and Gretel was your favorite fairy tale because you never made it past the bit where they find an edible house, Prudence Emma Staite has created the perfect room for you. She has designed a room made entirely of chocolate. The chocolate rooms have a solid chocolate fireplace and hearth, skirting boards, chocolate paintings, lickable chocolate walls, lickable chocolate sugar paper, a chocolate chandelier and chocolate vases and logs. The rooms can feed up to 500 people and prices start at £2,500.
