This Tetris-inspired home decor will fit perfectly into your life
Alright, last week we talked about home goods inspired by Final Fantasy, which is a video game I know nothing about. This week, let’s talk about home goods inspired by the one and only video game I do play is Tetris. I freaking LOVE me some Tetris.

My son’s Nintendo and Mario-themed bedroom
When I learned I was pregnant I knew immediately that my child’s room would include elements from my old favorite original Nintendo games. I started working on items for him right away, many of which are still in his room today.
