But isn’t it always the parent’s vision? If not the parent’s tastes directly, it’s almost always what the parents thinks, hopes or wants their child’s taste to be. I understand if it’s simply not your style, but to equate it to parental self-indulgence is just rude. It’s no different than painting pink for a girl or blue for a boy and filling it with pre-packaged Wal-Mart furnishings — it just happens to be more widely accepted to be unimaginative that way — only this is created with attention to the kind of experience a child will have there. It actually evokes the textures and colors of Where The Wild Things Are. What is more child-friendly than that?

I don’t get what makes this “adult-themed,” “creepy,” or “scary.” Is it just because there’s black in it? Been watching a little too much Playhouse Disney, have we? ;)
