She may not do anything, but she always looks great doing it.

Let's just get this out of the way...I LOVE BARBIE! I just am one of those girls- always have been and probably always will be. I mean seriously she can do anything; and she has everything!
As a little girl I dreamed vivid pink dreams of living in Barbie's dream house so when I found out one of my favorite designer,  Jonathan Adler, was creating a real live Malibu dream house I about died...I have remained in shock and awe of it for months...and well honestly with the addition of a little nephew to my family thoughts have gone a bit blue recently .
but how oh how can I bring this into my house without being that crazy Barbie lady?
Round benches have been around for ages but mostly on the hospitality side...I love the idea of using on in a transitional area of your home
The leather one below from Global Views is a much more do-able version for my own house
Moroccan Pouffs have been in every home decor spread for the last few years and I them- they are a great way to add a pop of color as well as some extra seating but frankly I will take Barbie's just as they are in metallic silver leather- the perfect sparkley addition to any room!
I love the collection of frames- it is always a safe bet to use the same frame in a collage, but I also love the white sofa as the foundation for the fun colorful pillows
a circular sectional might not work in every house so I love that this one from LA Furniture keeps the clean simple legs of Barbie's but with a more usable shape for most homes.

But the center-piece of the living room in the custom Barbie mirror over the fire place
And while I am pretty sure finding and buying that many original Barbie's would bankrupt me I do love the shape they make...this one from Global Views comes in two sizes and two finishes to make a great statement in any interior
Plus- this star-burst is a bit more man-friendly!
Or if you really want to try and bring in some man-friendly Barbie and have a spare 10k laying around go for the limited addition foosball table from FAO Schwartz
Sweet Pink Dreams! xoxo
