The New Hip Look in Home Decor - Lego!

Did you all hear?
There is a new interior designer that is all the rage.
He uses Legos to infuse your home with that greatly desired "boys under 10 live here" look. Featured today is the holiday line. While the need for Santa decor may have passed, I trust you can use your imaginations to figure out how the house would look in other seasons as well.

First, the anchor piece. Look closely, Santa is holding up the villain "Squidman". Squidman also looks good in the Christmas cactus where I found him on numerous occasions. Here is the Lego advent calendar that the kids LOVED putting together, although some bickering did ensue if I am being honest about it all. Note how the angel and pencil box filled with Lego accessories compliment the Christmas card album. What genius!
Does your couch have a boring pillow accent? Well my dear friend that is very YESTERDAY. Couches here in the land of boys feature very detailed battle scenes. Please note the civilian did not fair well (appears to have suffered lower body decapitation) in this transformer vs. semi vs. car vs. robot. Very abstract artish isn't it. I know you want a scene in your couch, just admit it! Oh, and as a note for one that knows, LOOK before you sit!
I love decorating with a silver theme. I was so happy with my angel and flowers in an original pottery vase made by Uncle Jared. Note how the designers also felt the space needed something else - a Lego pop of color as it were. Inspiring!Does your fruit also serve as a landing area? If not your fruit is boring indeed.
This is part of the advent set. Would anyone like some cocoa or need their skates sharpened?
Now for those of you out there who don't have lego masters on call (such as perhaps Heather and Tamara) never fear! These designers of mine are able to come in to any home and, given the proper tools, can "redecorate" your whole house in mere minutes!!! Sign up quickly, they are in high demand. And, lucky for you - they work for Legos.
So, I hope you are enjoying 2010. Didn't hear too many of your words yet - LOVED yours brother Matt and i think it is a great one. Have a great weekend, stay safe, and like our happy young fellow below look both ways! ;

Oh and btw, next time I see you, I will show you how we used to make Lego people. Much imagination was required.

Thank you for the "name" reference in your blog...but...we built a lego advent calendar almost 10 yrs ago now. Really, I am not kidding. Found it on a trip to Disney when the D.H. was still employed by the mouse. They are fun!
