This post is full of first world crap that makes me feel like a horrible person

I like to think that I would be much better at decorating my home if I had an endless supply if money.  I look on Pinterest at ideas and think how simple it would be to just hang some crap on a painted wall and call it a day.  And then I go to the store.  And the prices of things.  Outrageous.  I'm the type of person who would rather spend money on doing things. And I'm pretty sure Daniel is too, although he keeps telling me to please pick out some curtains to replace the ones that were hanging when we bought the house. But, when it comes to the weekend, I want to go to the movies, out to eat, take the kids to discover new museum or park or go shopping for "fun" stuff. I'm a sucker for board games and playdoh and paint and markers.  You see where I'm going? I'd rather spend my movie on things I can do with my family rather than things that get looked at hanging on my walls or over my windows.  BUT, I want our house to feel like a home. So yesterday I bit the bullet. I was selling some baby things at a store yesterday and next door was a Pier 1. I'm in love with that place. Can I just have everything??? I was so overwhelmed with all of the color choices and patterns and textures and my kids acting like Rabbids (a cartoon that you should never  ever let your children watch.) With my children as my own personal time bomb I finally decided on some throw pillows.  I figured if I found pillows I really liked then I would be able to pick a paint color and curtains from there? We will see. But I love throw pillows. I have to keep blankets on my seats because of my disgusting children who will wipe their snot or Godknowswhatelse on them. I'm not a total germ-a-phobe but I would rather my furniture not look like little snails had been drag racing like Justin Beiber all over my couch cushions. So here are a couple of the pillows I picked out. I won't be keeping all three on this little couch but my other one is covered with half folded laundry :/ The tags are still on them so please let me know if these pillows are hideous and I'm a colorblind idiot with zero taste.
