Maybe cause I'd just fill it with ice and turn it into a beer station for the party I'd inevitably throw if I ever stayed in one of those suites? I'd like to see them do a New Tomorrowland 1967 Suite. That has possibilities. This latest Princess Suite just looks like a bedroom for a bratty girl living in a McMansion in any suburb in the nation.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance I don't see this as a family suite. There is only one bed. I see this as like a honeymoon suite, or special couple time. And I'm always a pleasant mixture of good and bad, TP.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance If it was designed by a 3 year old, I can guarantee you it would be all pink and purple And I can't imagine kids in this room. Can you imagine trying to bath your kids in that bathtub? I'd throw my back out trying to reach them. Look at that freakin bathroom! It's a fairytale suite, it's suppose to be girly!
Originally Posted By TP2000 CurioserConstance<< "special couple time" Is that what the kids are calling it now? ;-) If I had a sleigh and 8 flying reindeer, I would put this suite in your Christmas stocking Constance. Upon reflection, you've earned it.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance TP, having you say that, is just as good Kinda, lol. Hans would just throw lumps of coal AT me if he got the chance.
Originally Posted By xrayvision I actually think that the suite is pretty, something you'd find in a modernized European mansion or European inspired home. I love the canopy bed. My mom's bathtub looks very much like the Fairy Tale Suite's bathtub (only in pink and sans the mosaic which is a good idea). As we have white carpet, I'd change the suite's carpet color to something darker that does not show sun bleaching and foot traffic. I'd rent that room as a special, romantic treat for the wifey.
Originally Posted By xrayvision BTW, the suite's main colors of pale blue (or powder blue) and white seem pretty neutral and simply stated to me, and not overly feminine nor gaudy. It just looks European to me, and maybe contains less decor than a true, richly appointed European suite would contain (eg, more original paintings with ornate framing, more moldings, more statuettes and other rich n artsy nick-naks around the room and bathroom).
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Yeah, I was expecting this to be loads of pink. I was pleasantly surprised they went with more neutral shades of sage & champagne. With that said, I don't really care about the overall style. It's not over the top enough to be interesting, like say, the dream suite at WDW, and it's not a no-frills room. It's something in the middle, and that makes it rather boring. It's too generic...

This is what I think of when I think of a well appointed girl's bedroom would look like: <a href="http://www.kidsdecoratingideas.com/Images/themeroom-princess_1.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.kidsdecoratingideas...ss_1.jpg</a> Too me it looks like it would make a great bridal suite, throw a bachelorette party or a fancy baby shower.
