  7. Hahaha I KNEW it was April Fools when I saw the first clown... Funny thing is when I saw the primary "clown" shoes I had to LAUGH and I do mean OUT LOUD... Our oldest who will be 18 in June... HAD to have those shoes... We have those shoes from size 2 all the way to 9 in fact I am going to set them on his graduation candy table... I am doing it in a red and white {school colors} vintage theme... I think the shoes will be a fun part... hahaha

  35. I was about to disown you as my fake-California-twin-sister because CLOWNS would have been the ONE THING we haven't had in common....

    conclusion:

  37. Ha! Totally fell for that one. Kept thinking, why would someone do that to an innocent child?

    ReplyDelete
  38. If you girls didn't watch all those scary movies you wouldn't feel that way about clowns. I am a clown. I am not scary. I agree some can be scary but don't judge all the clowns this way.

    ReplyDelete

  58. gross. i have loved/laughed at every post i've ever read of yours. then i saw the clowns. that's just gross. if you were serious i wasn't sure that i could come back.

    thanks for being clear that it was a joke! can't wait to see what you do for that little guy's room!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Much like everyone else, I usually love your style and taste so was literally thinking, 'hmmm, this is the first time I'm not crazy about her choice/decor' and I was really disappointed. :) NOT a fan of clowns. SO relieved - very good job! :) can't wait to see the REAL deal :)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Ok, seriously that scared the crap out of me! Bad Julie, bad!


    Now you have to fear the wrath of Bubbles!

    ReplyDelete
  61. I was seriously terrified for your unborn son. Until I got to the end of your post and just shook my head.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Would you believe that is the 4th time I have been fooled? And one of them was my 6 year old daughter. I hate April 1st. Its a constant struggle inside me to trust or not believe a single thing I hear. :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. You really got me! I was thinking if she seriously does clowns in her son's nursery this may be a deal breaker. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  64. Oh thank goodness... I was so afraid for that poor child!

    ReplyDelete
  65. my grandmother was an avid clown collector. horrid, right? and she left them ALL to me when she died. i think she thought i was fascinated by them. but i really thought they were going to jump out of the equally horrid cedar cabinet and stab my eyes out while i slept.

    i think there's an orange and black one. special for you.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I was REALLY getting worried, poor little baby...just imagine yourself trying to sleep at night in a room full of evil little clown faces staring at you. You totally got me. :)

  79. Best April fools joke, I might have nightmares though. Clowns are not friends of mine.

    ReplyDelete
  80. You know you had me with that title. And then I scroll down and I think wow Julie really likes clown stuff!? I don't. They scare me!! Ever since watching Steven King's "It" movie when I was a kid. Good to know I'm not the only one that is not a fan. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  81. I have been reading your blog for a while and have loved every minute until this scary moment. I'm due in May and thought ooh, ideas! I am so glad your not serious!!

    ReplyDelete
  82. UGHHH...that was the word that came out of my mouth...out loud..when I saw this post, until I got to the bottom...Phew.

    ReplyDelete
  83. You only have 2 decorating options. Squirrels or clowns. Or both. Do it.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Wow that was creepy. You totally got me too. I thought.. well, clowns are notoriously nightmarish, but if anyone could make a cute room with them she could. Hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  85. SSSOOOOOOO glad this was a joke!! Sooooooooooo glad!!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Ha! I despise clowns. Like I am TERRIFIED of them. I opened your post and quickly clicked off. I went to show my husband because I couldn't believe someone as stylish as you would like that. Luckily (because I couldn't look) he laughed and read your ending with the April Fools. Thank.Goodness!

    ReplyDelete
  87. good to know that clowns is what truly strikes a chord in people. i'm gonna try that on my blog. maybe i can spin a spiritual message out of them...like how really, no one can hide from the Lord, not even with a red nose and face paint. YES!!! I'm a genius.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Oh my gosh, I was like, "is she serious?" How scary!! Haha Good joke :)

    ReplyDelete
