Add some love to your home with heartsy-fartsy home decor

Darth Vader, dots, and dinosaurs: non-boring bathmats to “fun” up for you bathroom

This shopping round-up request came straight from the boss lady. Ariel requested that I use my nimble shopping fingers to scrounge up some offbeat bathmats. You know… bathmats that are more than just pastel/tasteful/subdued/boring.

I’ve scoured the cat-loving internet to bring you the classiest cattiest home decor there is. Like this “Shaken Not Purred” tea towel. I mean, can a cat get classier than that? I think not.
