The Theme Room
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Glamour Magazine featured this image of singer Mariah Carey in her Hello Kitty room.
Wha-huh?
Miss Mariah, who is pushing 40, describes herself as the ultimate little kid as if that’s justification for devoting an entire room in her home to Hello Kitty.
I’m no Hello Kitty hater (I might even have a few items of my own), but an entire room? I figured Mariah just had so many rooms to spare, that it didn’t matter. Then I began to notice a trend among the non-celebrity population:
A guy (also about 40) who devoted an entire room to fraternity paraphernalia
A guy (30ish) with a room devoted to his fave college football team
A woman (40ish) with a room full of Barbie dolls, Barbie cars, Barbie houses, Barbie friends & family, etc.
Apparently Mariah isn’t the only one indulging her collection with a room of its own.
Are themed rooms acceptable in grown-up homes or best left to those less than a quarter century old?
What’s the craziest themed room you’ve ever seen?
