Cardboard Box Millennium Falcon

Everyone knows kids love to play with cardboard boxes, but obviously so do their parents! I absolutely love this awesome cardboard box Millennium Falcom, complete with awed-looking baby and Schnauzer Wookie! Although I think my favorite thing is this great quote from the blog post about the process:

We picked up some silver spray paint at the hardware store and I then proceeded to destroy the brand new garage floor with it. Hey, at least the paint on the floor is in the shape of the Millennium Falcon, am I right? Besides, that's what garage floors are for; a constant reminder of how we did stuff in there, plus the shape is like a badge of awesome that makes me smile every time I get out of the car.

That is indeed what garage floors are for... (Via Inhabitots.)
