Lets be real...

I'm going to show you how far from perfect I am.

Dining room pic ( that was in the NEST MAGAZINE )
What you DIDNT see: ( plastic over the chairs, my cat went to town with her claws...)
What was:
I looved this popcorn rug, but after about 6 months of owning it, it shed like a beast, and my cat peed on it so many times, that I couldnt keep up with it. She thought it was a giant litter box. So I had to throw it away. Such a waste of $200.

I'll have more of these types of things to post I'm sure.

  11. I am in love with the plates on your dining room table. I have been eying a set that looks identical for what seems like forever. My hubby finally bought them for me a couple weeks ago. They look so pretty on your dining room table...now if hubby will only paint my table. Hmm??? Maybe I'll have to show him this post...
