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.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 25 2005 ??Cthuluhead ?? http://www.google.c...Google+Search&meta= [2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 25 2005] (??) H. P. Lovecraft Bestiary - Cthulhu http://www.hplovecr...estiary.htm#cthulhuTry this, [2fries]. The rest of the site is quite good, too. [Detly, Jun 25 2005] Straight Line Designs http://www.straightlinedesigns.com/Maybe these guys could put it together for you. [waugsqueke, Jun 26 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?-- Detly, Jun 25 2005 An upside-down Cthuluhead chair - very nice. The tentacles would form the back. The slit-pupiled eye would glare barefully.-- bungston, Jun 25 2005 Thank you [Detly].-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 25 2005 Great idea [+].-- contracts, Jun 25 2005 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).-- Susan, Jun 25 2005 couldn't she just close the drawers and then she won't have to worry about the monster-- mike743, Jun 26 2005 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.-- waugsqueke, Jun 26 2005 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.-- reensure, Jun 26 2005 That is some of the coolest furniture I've ever seen.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 26 2005 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.-- hobbitcoat, Jun 28 2005 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.-- hobbitcoat, Jun 28 2005 I laughed out loud when I saw Bad Table.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jun 28 2005 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.-- baconbrain, Jun 28 2005 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.-- oxen crossing, Jun 28 2005 I'll be your kid for awhile, hobbitcoat.-- RayfordSteele, Jun 29 2005 Nice. ++-- sartep, Jun 29 2005 Gurniture itself is a pretty good idea, Ogopo notwithstanding.-- bungston, Sep 19 2006 random, halfbakery
