Kourtney Kardashian's Home Tour

Thu, 16 Jan 2024 16:26:50 -0500

Have you guys seen the photos from Kourtney Kardashian’s home tour? They are better than we could have imagined. Her taste and style is bold, colorful, and on par with her “Allison in Wonderland” theme. Although her formal living room is a little too much for our taste, the other rooms are quite on par including the kitchen, living room, bedroom and the kids rooms. In particular we love the Curtis Kulig “Love Me” neon sign as well as the striped black and white tent for the kiddies. For a similar tee-pee, be sure to check out Etsy for various color options. What do you guys think? Do you love it or hate it? Xo - GOLP
