Make furniture, and fixtures, extra tall and large so it is like you were as a kid- hard to reach and get into....
You will need your Smurf stool to get a drink from the 55 inch high countertop & faucet.
The sofa cussions are at belly-button height.
Guys have to stand on their tippy-toes
again to pee in the toilet.
Door knobs are 6 to 8 inches in diameter and require two hands to operate.
It would all be just for fun- Fun memories of kid life.
These appliances and furniture would be sold in a Franchise business, in a regular sized building, but with a BIG BIG front door

I would guess that you recently watched 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. Am I right? |
|
| |
regarding "Eternal Sunshine..." - No, I don't even really know what the movie is about except for Jim Carey trying to look 20 years old. |
|
| |
Ah, apologies. There is a scene where Carey becomes a baby again, so all the furniture is very big. I really like this idea - it would be great fun if you had a whole house like this in a theme park. Have a giant-size croissant. |
|
| |
Children wouldn't stand a chance in this place. Perhaps when they grew up they could have even bigger furniture that was totally unusable... |
|
| |
I give it a plus, but only if I can only get the giant soft cushion (mmmm snuggly) I have no use for more things I can't reach in my kitchen. OOH also do we need a giant house for this? |
|
| |
Yeah- A giant house for all this is a must. Maybe even a genetically engineered Giant Dog to mall you when you come in the front door and drown you slobber. |
|
| |
THIS IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. Kids could die in the sofa. There would be more drowning if they used the toilet. |
|
| |
NYC City Hall has (had?) an installation of a pair of oversized picnic tables by an artist who wanted the people sitting at them to recapture the helplessness of childhood. Works, too. |
|
| |
That's already semi-half-baked. Lego has extra large bricks for grown ups. |
|
| |
There was a pub in London that had extra tall tables and stools. A long time ago, but I think it was near St. Barts. Hospital (perhaps because of the danger of falling off after a few too many). |

Surely an appearance in fiction makes it half-baked rather than baked? |
|
| |
NOT baked entirely. You could have this stuff for sale in a large franchise store. Yes, pun intended. |
|
| |
I could use an extra-extra large bed. One never has enough room to dream. (it's, obviously, a bed nobody wants to fall off). |
|
| |
I think I once saw some old Lilly Tomlin skit with her in a huge rocking chair. Or maybe it was just a photo I saw. Can't remember. |
|
| |
Yes, Lily Tomlin started that Edith Ann bit in the giant rocking chair many years ago. |
|
| |
In general for sentimental reasons I approve of oversized furnishings. However, I don't think it can be classified as new enough to warrant halfbaking. Shopping for it must be a hassle... [link] |
