The picture you see below,
Yes, that one up there.
That, my friends, is deceitful.
Pottery Barn Kids produces some beautiful children’s room decor, storage solutions, and furniture, but this picture of three little girls ‘playing’ in their playroom is a lie.
How do I know? Because I have a 13 month old. And I was seven once, so I remember. No child plays in a designated playroom without wrecking it.
And I have to keep telling myself this every time I see those pictures. Because as much as I would love for Hannah Grace to have a fairy tale play area that was never messy, I know that just isn’t real life. If you were to walk in our living room right now, you would see no less than books scattered on the floor, her Little People Barn in the middle of the room, and random toy pots and pans, toy food, and blocks haphazardly placed throughout the area, and a vibrantly colored Winnie the Pooh and friends rocker. The rocker goes quite nicely with the earthy tones the rest of our furniture and decor display. Would Pottery Barn Kids ever take a picture of my living room to try to sell to a parent wanting to create a dream room for their child? Doubtful.
But at least it’s real. That’s what I’m gonna keep telling myself 
i think its awesome that the door is open and there is a pool outside!!
Maybe when you’re rich and can afford a Pottery Barn playroom and a house with a pool then it’s magically clean? (Hint: it’s the maid)
Now I have a sudden desire to oversee a catalog photo shoot featuring a messy play room. In the middle would be a shirtless boy with a cowboy hat and boots. That’s all I got so far.
