I absolutely adore the Pottery Barn look.  Nothing that comes in the mail excites me as much as a new Pottery Barn catalog (sad, I know).  And I love wandering through the store in the mall, admiring all the displays, and wishing the prices were less expensive.So, I was eagerly looking forward to Pottery Barn Home, which is a large coffee table type book, and I wasn't disappointed...

Probably one of the best ways to describe this particular room spray is "The Holidays In a Bottle".   The wonderful concentrated fragranced room sprays by The White Barn Candle Company can be bought at all the Bath and Body Works stores.   The first time I experienced this was in my daughter's bathroom.   When I sprayed it, I thought that was the best...

The Animal Toiletry Bags from Pottery Barn are an adorable way for you to carry your baby or toddler's toiletries when on a trip.  I like having my kids' things separate from my own while traveling, and having them in a cute bag is nice. The bags are made of terry cloth and are shaped like a frog, duck, kitty, dog or butterfly.  They can be monogrammed, so each child can have ...

My quest for the perfect bedding for the bedrooms in my home seem never ending. I have purchased countless sets only to have them unravel at the seams after a couple of washes or the fabric to peel so bad they look as if they are 10 years old. I finally broke down and visited Pottery Barn and paid double what I normally would for bedding at Walmart. I can tell you, I am glad that I did. My Pott...

Big Red Barn, written by Margaret Wise Brown, has been a favorite of children for years.  It tells of a day on a farm where all the animals play and makes noises all day long, then go to the big red barn to go to sleep at night.My daughter has liked this book since she was about 18 months old.  At 2 years, she can now follow along and name animals and imitate their noises.  She a...

I bought a small rug for our kids' bathroom from Pottery Barn for Kids last year.  I thought it was absolutely adorable, and hoped that it would be as durable as it was cute.The rug is very soft and fluffy, and absorbs all the water dripping off my little ones as they exit the tub (or play in the toilet).   It is a nice size, as it's big enough to stand both kids on, yet small...

This is one of the best blankets I have ever had, and it makes one of the best gifts ever!  I received one of these blankets when my son was born, and it was embroidered with his name and date of birth.  It is extremely soft, the size is just right for a newborn or small baby, and it is lightweight while providing warmth.  There are a variety of colors available, so it is usually...

BEWARE of buying any touch base lamp from Pottery Barn Kids.   I purchased a Pottery Barn touch base lamp at full price from the local Pottery Barn Kids store when outfitting my daughter's new bedroom with all Pottery Barn decor.  We loved the fact that the 3 settings on the touch base lamp let her use the lowest setting as a night light.  It was beautiful, but it didn&#...

The Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere Chair is a nice chair for kid's room or playroom.  It consists of four pieces of foam that together make up the "insert" and an outer slipcover that comes in many different colors like pink gingham, denim, hot pink, blue, red, and many more.  The insert is made of lightweight foam and there is a handle on the slipcover that makes it easy to...

We bought a plastic interactive "bells and whistles" play kitchen for our daughter.  I HATED the way it looked in her beautifully decorated room.  It was sooo, well, plastic.  After the initial new-ness wore off, she really didn't play with it.  So, I bought the kitchen I always wanted as a child (yes, I'm living through my daughter...sue me)...the Pottery ...

I visited The Choo Choo Barn in Strasburg Pennsylvania once a few years back with my family while on a trip to Hershey and Strasburg Pennsylvania. The Choo Choo Barn is a store and miniature train display that is in a building / plaza of specialty stores called the Shops of Traintown. Strasburg is all about trains. It's a great place to take your family, especially if you hav...

I recently purchased this lamp for my daughter's bedroom after her old lamp got broken.  I ordered this lamp off of the Pottery Barn Kids website.  I have always been a fan of Pottery Barn products because of the great quality.This lamp sure does meet my high expectations.  I ordered the pink gingham lamp shade to go with the lamp base, but as you can see from the picture, th...

I recieved this candle as a gift in December. I LOVED the scent right out of the gate! This is a small Jar candle that has 3 wicks. I lit it that night, everything was great for the first few hours, then I noticed that the flame was really low and there was a lot of melted wax. Before I knew it one of the wicks was out- the melted wax had won and snuffed him out! I snuffed out the remainin...

When switching my daughter to a 'big girl' bed I wanted to purchase a nice quilt that she would like for years to come.  While browsing through the Pottery Barn for Kids catalog I came upon one that was perfect.  It matched the colors of her room wonderfully. I purchased the full-sized quilt from one of their 2007 lines and was very pleased when I received it.  It is brig...

Bath and body is always having a sale and these home fragrance sprays come in tiny silver containers and are usually advertised as 2 for $5. My favorite thing about this product is that they last a really long time. That's because you only need 2 to 3 sprays to make any average size room smell good. Not as annoying to use something like Airwick room spray or anything which are loud and leav...

I love Old Navy clothing for toddlers.  They are quality made, affordable and stylish.  However, I feel I must give extra attention to their children's jackets.  We bought a barn jacket two years ago for our toddler son and not only is this jacket very attractive, nice almost carhearrt looking outer shell with a corderoy collar, but this jacket has survived two winters ( whic...

This Vampire Teeth place card holder is perfect to use for a Halloween table setting, as a business card holder, a gothic accessory or it makes a unique gift for a Vampire fan. With movies like the Twilight and TV shows like True Blood being so popular, Vampires are hot and there's lots of Vampire merchandise available. Many times the stuff you find in the stores is cheesy and low qual...

My husband bought this wonderful glider for our new deck.  We love to sit outside in the evenings and relax.  This is a double seated glider with cut out hearts.  We have never painted the wood but we have treated it with a sealer.  After many years of use it still looks brand new.We had to do some adjustments on the glider, at the bottom, where it was rubbing too close to t...

When we built our deck, I wanted a picnic table that the entire family would be able to sit at together.  I knew it would be a wood table to keep with the outdoor decor we already have in the backyard.  This wooden table caught my eye as we drove past the display for Buckeye Barns in Maumee, Ohio. This is an table with seating for 8 people.  This is perfect!  My two grown ch...
