Hidden Playrooms

When I was a kid we often went to a sort of 'Funhouse' for birthday parties. It had an underground maze section you could crawl through and I remember it to this day as the coolest, most exciting plae ever - and that's what these hidden playrooms remind me of. Well...that and Narnia.
Wouldn't you have loved secret little rooms as a kid? Heck, I want one now!

These aammmaaazing rugs by Agustina Woodgate are made from the 'skins' of stuffed animals and teddies! It's half barbaric, half hilarious and I LOVE the result :-)

Magical 'Up' Pincushion

I have seen sooo many comments from people who love the film 'Up' and I STILL haven't seen it! The image of the house with the balloons attached though looks pretty epic, and this pincushion replica made of paper and foam is really magical.
