♥ Sanrio themed Christmas trees

What’s the best way to represent Sanrio for the holidays? With a Sanrio (Hello Kitty) themed Christmas tree of course! I wish I could buy a miniature pink tree so I could deck it out in Sanrio ornaments. Instead of just Hello Kitty, I think I’d try to do every character so that mine would be unique. I set up my main tree the other day, and while it’s seriously lacking some ornaments I still managed to rep the kitty with the one ornament I have of her.

See it on the far right? It’s the same as this ornament.

♥ My Hello Kitty bathroom; then and now

Last year, when my boyfriend and I moved into our old apartment I had kept on mentioning to him that I wanted to decorate the large second bath with Hello Kitty. One night, when I came home after 2am I walked into that bathroom only to smell fresh wet paint. I flicked on the light switch only to find Hello Kitty everywhere! I was beyond happy and surprised that he would do that for me, I mean come on, how many boyfriends or husbands bust out pink paint and start decorating with Hello Kitties. Here is a picture of the completed project:

Now, while I did love the bathroom very much, there’s always room for criticism. Of course, I didn’t blab all of this to him. While I liked the pink painted walls I just hated the blue stripe, it didn’t really match and made the whole room look juvenile. I guess Hello Kitty is pretty much juvenile but I feel there’s ways incorporating her into more mature designs and looks. An example would be the Hello Kitty bathroom I have in the house we live in now.

I think using the Hello Kitty decorations with plain white walls and modern furnishings gives the room a more mature look and adds a pop of color. The Orchid plant I have on the windowsill also helps creating a more adult feel.

I definitely like the new bathroom better. How about you? If you’re planning on creating a Hello Kitty bathroom or any themed bathroom I highly suggest eBay—it’s a lot cheaper! My boyfriend bought all the decorations together for around $50.

I think Urban Outfitters may be the best store on the planet. Why you ask? Well…besides having awesome clothes and unique merchandise, they have some Deery Lou Christmas ornaments available—and Hello Kitty too! It’s good to see Deery Lou back in a store that won’t make him some emo kid’s new obsession (*cough*Hot Topic*cough.*) Sorry, just had to put that out there…while searching for Deery lou the other day I found something called ‘Deery Lou the emo fawn’ or something along those lines.. Oh Sanrio, won’t you release a new Deery Lou series? Anyway the ornaments! Yes, they’re adorable and I want them all. It’d be nice if they weren’t $8 each—I’m not rich here!

If I can’t get them all I’ll settle for the one with the pink ears.
