Mini Me | Mini Furniture (That You Will Die Over.)

There's nothing like having a toddler to point out things you must say all too often. The other day, I was sitting on the couch eating a snack.  Stella said, "Mommy, I don't think that's such a good idea." Jeremy then piped in and told her that only grown-ups can eat on the furniture. He must not know that that rule is every bit as much for him as it is for Stella. I'm really the only one who should have that kind of privilege. I promise, I'm only basing this rule on past experience(s), and if I'm being honest, Stella should probably blame Jeremy for ruining it for the both of them. Just sayin.' 

Check out these so-freaking-cute-I-am-dying-and-even-made-Mr. Hubs-get-out-of-bed-to-look-at pieces of kids' furniture. Do you realize they are mini?! The chair, the sectional, the table and chairs--all of them! They are SO cute, but if that $300 pink chevron mini chair was mine, that dog would NOT get to sit there. I mean really, I don't even know if Stella would get to sit there, and definitely not Jeremy...

[color kreyv]: Mustard Yellow

Do you kind of need a mustard yellow couch, now? I feel you. We're kind of in a yellow phase at our house lately. In fact, as Stella was saying the dinner prayer, she thanked Heavenly Father for the food and for her yellow dress. And then, she broke into, "They Call Me Mellow Yellow..."  Prayers are kind of entertaining at our place.

I've decided that more offices should really reconsider their decor. Or, just consider SOME decor. If any of them looked remotely like these pictures, I could stay forever (accompanied by an up to date People magazine, of course). I mean, don't get me wrong, I've really enjoyed my time in the Jiffy Lube waiting area as well as the waiting areas for the different doctors' offices I've recently visited, but they could really use some umph, if you know what I mean. Tomorrow I get to go to the DMV. I can't decide what's worse: the DMV or the gynecologist. Unfortunately, no amount of decor would make either of these experiences better. No amount. Ever.

The Bold & the Beautiful

I'm talking about bold and beautiful furniture, not the soap, which, for the record, I've never watched a daytime soap. They are too much, even for me. I'm into the good stuff that's on Bravo instead! But, back to the bold furniture. It is major, and once again, I am in love (especially with the blue sofa)! It makes a statement, but not an "in your face" statement. Perfect. Bold. Beautiful.

Blue. Just blue, not sky, azure, navy, cobalt, steel, or powder. Royal? Perhaps, but mostly just blue...like the color of the blue crayon. I was looking for some blue tulle for Stella's Halloween costume, and I just couldn't find the color I was looking for, just blue. I ended up with something a little more turquoise, but it will still be super cute. Don't be scared, Jeremy's sister helped me make it, so not only will it stay in one piece, but it also might just be recognizable with minimal hot glue involved.

Neutral with a Splash of Color

When I buy furniture, I typically go with something neutral keeping in mind that a) I might have it for longer than a few years, and b) I always want change and by having a neutral piece, I can change the pillows and accessories whenever my little heart desires. These couches, however, are to die for. I love how they are the focal pieces of each room, and there is really not much other color in the room to compete with the couches. Wouldn't it be fun to have a sitting room with one of these? I love them, and really, blue is pretty much a neutral. I think just about every color goes with blue.
