Aug 22 2008I Knew It: My Childhood Sucked Without This Kidtropolis Magic Indoor Treehouse Bedroom

frist

Its just a high bed... with paper mache

it's cool but so...empty

Yea, that's awesome.

It's kind of cool. But doesn't seem exactly 'kid friendly'.. If you're running about in your bedroom forest, pretening to be Commando and you do an army role too close to that step, you'd definately do your shins in.

And why is the window decorated with post-it's?

Obviously i meant 'roll'. Unless you're playing the the role of Commando...

I remember the treehouse I once had. My friend burned it to the ground with candles, gasoline and a big bag of spite.
Good times, my youth... good times.

this room would've been better if they had green carpet.

oh, and it would be even BETTER if you turned out the lights and there were stars! :)

did you see those little storage bins? perfect for porn mags.

id be jerkin it in that little tree box all day like a friggin monkey.

What happens when the kid grows out of it in 5 years?

@11

You turn it into a set for a wicked awesome porno.

@11 - They just have their parents poop a few more piles of gold nuggets. Then they do whatever the hell they want. Rich little f***ers. I want to be their friend.

"Yea, you can have two of them."

The response I would have gotten had I asked for such a bedroom. Man, I hated when they said that! Of course now I can say it when my mother asks for a new oxygen tank....LOLOLOL!!! *wipes tear*

Disclaimer: My mother is 73 yrs old and could run a marathon with me on her shoulders. Guess I'm just jealous because she's healthier than me.

those trap door spaces look like the perfect place to play the "dare your friend to go inside and then sit on top of it and dont let them out while their air supply depletes" game...

I think they're just trying to get the kid to stay in the basement (it has to be the basement with windows like that). Or maybe it's a trailer in the backyard?

"Just because Mommy and Daddy want you waaaay at the other end of the house, doesn't mean they don't love you very much -look it's a treehouse"

Great, cos a real tree house outdoors just ain't fun at all.

I'm so glad my parents were poor...then I'd have to be subjected to these kind of horrors.

I had a tractor tire bed in my childhood. That was all we could afford.

@6 - wow, I'm so sad that I didn't actually notice "role" until reading your next comment

@17 - yeah, it does look like a basement, now that you mention it. That way, if it were just a playroom instead of an actual bedroom I guess it might last through a few siblings and could then be changed to some sort of arcade room.... ;-)

In general I guess it's cool, but, like most expensive semi-custom projects, it's so perfect and inorganic (is that a word?) that it seems more disappointing than anything. I have the feeling there's a bunch of stuff that you'd think would do something, but actually doesn't. For example if the raised floor level had been higher, it could have had "secret" tunnels, or the trees could have had some functionality at a lower level (like at least branches low enough that you could hang things from them), and I think the window "post it notes" are supposed look like patches (à la Tom Sawyer), but I'm sure they're sewn on so perfectly that it's clearly the opposite of home made.

But on the other hand, without as much detail, the kid can mod it as he or she wishes, and it IS a fun idea. Anyone else wondering why there's no slide or pole to slide down from the tree house, though? OR - there could have been a SECRET EXIT out the bottom of the big tree! Oh well.

for f***s' sake

Wow, my childhood seems to get more disappointing every day ¬_¬

it looks like the parents are trying to make it easier for the kid to be abducted. sleeping inches from what looks like a ground level window

the only thing better is actually living in the forest, then again... who wants to deal with reality

Virtue is a jewel of great price.
