We used to have a white couch. Just a week ago, we drove to Ikea and got the gray covers (on mega sale!) because we just couldn't handle the white. I was washing/bleaching one or two of the cushion covers almost weekly and it didn't stay as clean as we would like. One of us and our OCD nature (I'll leave you to guess who) couldn't handle the toddler hands all over the couch when covered in blueberries or chips or you name it which is a daily occurrence. The gray feels so much more comfortable. The material is slightly different, not just 100% cotton, which makes it more durable.
To those of you who have white couches with toddlers, hats off to you.
We are trying to minimize the amount of holes we'll need to fill later. The walls are all concrete so that's different. None of the windows have screens, but in the summer, Bryce put screens on a couple that we open the most.
Here's the kid corner, but who are we kidding, there are toys everywhere. Most days, we have that green mat out on the floor with Carter rolling around on it. We are trying to organize our arts/crafts things (in the plastic bins). We color/cut/glue almost every day.
It's so cute and I do love the gray couch! The kid corner is perfect!!
