We, as a culture, have been graced with modern architecture and interior design for almost as long as we have been graced with the automobile. Google "toy cars" and you get MODERN toy cars like these:
Why do the large toy manufacturers assume that most children like modern toy cars, but not modern dollhouses? What message is being conveyed?

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great inspiration pics. Definitely not a fad, we've got staying power. Go modern!
