Playhouses - Child's Play, Grown-Up Cash - NYTimes.com

I'll be honest, some of the kid houses in this article make me want to puke. Or to cave the heads of the parents in with a shovel.

I mean, who the hell wants a replica of the very house they are trying to get out of?

And though I doubt I'll ever have the money to spoil my kid the way these folks do - and even if we did we'd probably just go see the world - it is neat to see some of the ideas. I really, really like the big piratey tree house assembly those grandparents built out west.
