Extreme Makeover: Ready to Play?


WHAT GRABBED OUR EYE: A primary-colored, small-fry-perfect P’kolino play table and bench that are so bendy and bright, they'd make even Gumby—or Rolie Polie Olie—happy.

WHERE WE SAW IT: In a hot-pink Seattle playroom on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. It’s also appeared on HGTV’s trendy I Want That.

HOW DID IT GET THERE? Extreme Home producer Diane Korman said set designers spied the bright table and coordinating ottomans and thought the colors and soft shapes were perfect for the Play-Doh-themed room.

WHERE YOU CAN GET IT: www.pkolino.com or www.fao.com. The table with all its pieces costs $989, while the play desk alone is $659 and the bench is $279. Coordinating ottomans included on the Extreme Makeover set are $169 each.
