The idea : Children’s' bedroom furniture crafted into the upside down U-shaped segments of a surfacing sea monster.
The objective :
Incentive to tidy up because when all the toys are straightened away and the drawers are closed the room looks like it contains nothing but a pet sea serpent undulating
languidly through the blue carpet.
I wanted to do this for my own daughter’s room but lack the woodworking skills.

Try this, [2fries]. The rest of the site is quite good, too. [Detly, Jun 25 2005]

Just for kids? Come on. Where's my claw shaped couch, reaching desparately out of the floor? The Cthulhonic tentacles protruding from the walls and floor as a gothic recliner? The bizarre, five pointed heads of the Elder Things upon which I can rest my coffee? |
|
| |
An upside-down Cthuluhead chair - very nice. The tentacles would form the back. The slit-pupiled eye would glare barefully. |
|
| |
Ahaaa. Now I think I get it. You want the kids to tidy up, because if they don't the room won't look like the seamonster? |
|

P.s: Zeno is a craftsman in woodworking. You could ask him (wink, wink). |
|
| |
couldn't she just close the drawers and then she won't have to worry about the monster |
|

fry fry, check out the link to Straight Line Designs. If any design company could make this happen, it's them. |
|
| |
They're in Vancouver, too. |

That (Straight Line Designs) is cool. I am so going to cover every window in my house with cabinets, cases, hutches, and other voluptuous framing. |
|
| |
That is some of the coolest furniture I've ever seen. |
|
| |
I love that idea! I wish I could've had
that when I was little. |
|
| |
And am I the only one here who doesn't
have kids? I feel like the odd one out. |
|
| |
I just went to that Straight Line Designs
and that was so cool! I love the Bad
Table and the big clock with the arms
that looks like the clock in Beauty and
The Beast. |
|
| |
I laughed out loud when I saw Bad Table. |

Someone at Southwest Missouri State University made a snow sculpture of a sea serpent. The artist built it in the middle of campus, across a sundial platform, and was never identified. For a few hours, SMSU had style. Your design has a croissant. |

I second just about all of the above. I have my doubts about the cleaning up the room aspect, at least for my kids, but #19+ anyway. |

I'll be your kid for awhile, hobbitcoat. |

Gurniture itself is a pretty good idea, Ogopo notwithstanding. |
