In searching for bedding and sofas for my future grown-up apartment, I have reached a terrible conclusion: the world of adults is a dreary, colorless place. How difficult is it to find cheerful, bright, colorful items that do not have Hello Kitty or Power Rangers characters plastered all over them? It's as if you grow up and then suddenly everything becomes dull and grey.
No, seriously. I have decided that adults do not like actual colors. They like varying shades of brown and maroon. If they are feeling particularly adventurous, they will spring for a boring blue. I think they dislike cheerful shades because this just reminds them of how much fun they are NOT having at their cheerless jobs.
Don't get me wrong. I am excited to have a real job. Sure, sometimes I wish I could have an awesomely fun job... like a river rafting guide. Or Oprah Winfrey. Or the Watertown tree warden. How do you manage to become a tree warden, anyway? Do you have to go to school for that?? I guess it would help if I actually knew what a tree warden was. Hmm.
Anyway, the lesson here is that I don't want to grow up and begin hating all things colorful. Maybe if my business career does not pan out, I will become a designer and start a line of pretty housewares for adults. Please look out for that.
In the meantime, I plan to decorate with sunflowers and paintings of the ocean and cucumber-flavored candles. Please come over and visit!

One colorful thing that I WOULD avoid for your future grown-up apartment Nikki is a red/pink/salmon couch...oh and mine is probably going to end up a boring brown since slipcovers only come in adult colors haha.
