Artistic Sensations Review & Giveaway- Boy or Girl Chair w/ Storage

Oh boy! I have been waiting to show you this one! Its been a creation in the works. Kim from Artistic Sensations was so completely awesome to offer me a review of a storage item on her website. Now i hate animal patterns.. im being serious, there is nothing you can stick a zebra or cheetah print on and catch me with a smile. UNTIL.. i saw this most beautiful Chaise Lounge in a black and white animal print - Wild Side Animal Print Bench Seat with Storage. My heart went all girlie and melted. If it came in adult size, i would made my hubby deal with my sickness lol. Not only was it perfect for my girls, but it had storage inside with a safety hinge. No broken or squashed fingers and it was usable!

It Arrives:

It arrived before i even knew it was shipped (A+ shipping!). I opened the box and saw the directions and wanted to cry that my husband was not there, as i am the worst person to assemble anything remotely off from a camera. But i started my task. I will say the directions kinda sucked (but that is on the manufacture side). I never did figure out the hinge part haa. But the rest was easy once i got into it. It took me a tad longer than normal (Im telling you im horrible at assembling items) But once it was together (and its STURDY!!), it looked amazing. I wanted to curl up in it myself. My youngest was star struck. She insisted we put stuffed animals inside, which was fine with me, except that somehow the cat was locked inside with them??! haa.

What it looks like in my home:

Take a look at these pictures.. It looks and fits perfect. Imagine if you have one of those rounded windows..ughhhh it would just be a princess’s dream. can you tell im getting all mushy?

Details:

Take a walk on the wild side! Give your safari child a wild place to sit and store toys with our fun, bold Wild Side Bench Seat.

Sophisticated fainting couch design
Removable back, arm and seat cushions
Slow-closing metal safety hinge

31″ L x 13.5″ W x 27″ H

My Daughters take:

Ariel calls it her couch and loves it to pieces. We have it in the living room and she thinks its so cool that she has her own. Shes so tiny that she can actually lay on it lol. Jasy fits on it fine too, like i said before its very sturdy so at 60 pounds, she will be perfectly fine on it for a while.  We even went to the mall to get a coordinating pillow for it haa.

My Take:

I am just in awe of this beautiful piece. Plus i really don’t think it was a bad price at $189 (and i did offer to pay for my review because i wanted this piece so bad!). Especially since you would pay that or more for a seat and toy box separate. Daddy seen it on pictures and cam, and even though he doesn’t like the pattern, it grew on him since his babies love it. Basically, if they like it, he likes it lol. Also its easy to carry, it has 2 handles on both sides for easy mobility. If your worried about the cushions being white… dont be! There are 3 pieces and they all Velcro on (its like heavy duty Velcro too), you can just take them off and throw them in the wash. Plus the entire bench is coated in a clear coat that protects it from food, koolaid, etc. Veryyy easy to wipe up!

A little more on Artistic Sensations:

Artistic Sensations, “the one-stop-shop to create your child’s dream room” began in the early 90′s by me, Kim Gellman, an at-home mother of two young boys, when I realized that creating the “perfect” kid’s dream roomwas not at all as easy as I had imagined. So, in 1996, Artistic Sensations was born to fulfill the needs of all those parents who desire unique, customized, high quality furniture, bedding for boys and girls, accessoriesand gift ideas for their infants and young children. I chose an online presence first to offer as many parents as possible regardless of geographic location, the opportunity to decorate with unique style and have fun with their kids rooms. As we all know, busy parents rarely have the opportunity to frequent specialty stores. Our limited free time, which usually occurs after the kids go to bed or before they wake up in the morning, doesn’t coincide with retail store hours!!!

Now why would i tell you about all these awesome features and then let you go away? Kim has graciously decided to let one Mommy PR winner choose between the Wild Side Animal Print Bench w/ Storage (RV $189-for a girl) or the Prince Toy Box Bench (RV $199 – for a boy).
