Enhance Your Home Decor, Kleenex Style

This post is sponsored by Kleenex.

Who has been sick at least once since all these winter storms started? Each member of my family has had a rough go of it so far in 2014, but specifically my infant daughter has had it the worst. Well guess what, Spring is quickly approaching and here in Florida the two seasons keep stumbling all over each other. One day there is an ugly pollen coating on everything and the next day it is freezing cold and raining. There is a Kleenex boxes in every room in the house. If they gotta be there they may as well look stylish and fit in with the decor, right?

Remember those ugly tissue box covers? You know, the ones your grandma crocheted or the big-heavy-plastic box thing? They were supposed to make the tissue box look prettier and failed miserably. Thank goodness I haven’t seen one of those things in years. Those ugly covers are the first thing I think of when I hear someone mention a box of tissue. Luckily Kleenex is changing the game by creating boxes that are stylish and have a huge variety of designs, a little something for everyone.

Can you believe that Kleenex has been around for 90 years? Their 90th birthday has brought a new innovation, the Kleenex Style Studio. You can play games, see the new designs, and discover things about the brand you may not have known. For instance, did you know that Kleenex was originally created for makeup removal? In 1924 the company marketed themselves as a sanitary cold cream remover. I found it interesting (and entertaining) to read about how much the company changed overtime.

Speaking of changes, look what I discovered. Kleenex Hand Towels. Not only do the colors and pattern (“Bathroom Beautiful”) fit into my kitchen decor perfectly, but there is FINALLY a paper towel that isn’t tear away for when you are washing your hands. It sort of drives me insane to grab a roll of paper towels with wet hands. The entire roll ends up getting wet and just eww… Love Kleenex for putting my inner turmoil at ease.

Do you see the photograph beside the Kleenex box? That is my husband and I when we had moved into our first apartment with each other like 10 years ago. See the lamp in the picture? We still have it! In fact we have the sofa behind us still too! Our overall style hasn’t changed much at all. See next photo…

My husband and I have a the exact same preferences in home decor. Very traditional and neutral. If he could paint the house all white he would, but thankfully he compromises and lets me add my beige and taupe without whining. Too much. Another perfectly neutral and husband-friendly Kleenex box.

I purchased a hand painted picture at a yard sale about 5 years ago and fell in love with it. I actually decorated my entire bathroom around it. It is a picture of a beach so my walls are a sand color and the accents are tan (like the shower curtain) and blue (like the rug you can’t see in this picture). I have been keeping these Cool Touch Kleenex tissues in there lately. The name of the pattern is actually “So Cool It Soothes” which is exactly what the product inside does. The soothing blue color of the box blends into my bathroom well.

The last room I am going to show you is my daughters. Her poor little baby self has had cold after cold this year. Her nose is either running or stopped up and she is just a little trooper. She HATES getting her nose cleaned (which I think is a common trait in all 9-10 month olds) so I picked up the Lotion option in hopes that maybe she would resist less if it was soft. The design on this pretty pink box is called “Start A Ripple Effect” which is funny because that is what I am trying to do. I want her to get used to her nose being wiped so she will quit fighting me.

Anyway, the cute pink box matches the pink and white decor of her room. For 11 years I was the only female in the house so when my daughter came along I decided that I was going big with the color pink. It may look like a lot of pink in these pictures but the room is sort of small so my camera can’t capture the entire room at once. There are a LOT of white accents to make up for all the pink.

And isn’t Rae’s little lamb so cute? She can’t go to sleep at night unless she has her sweet arms wrapped around it.

I love that Kleenex has married together stylish design with everyday staples. Being able to enhance my pre-existing decor with something as ordinary as a box of Kleenex is a nice change!
