lesson #1:
probably a year ago, i ordered a pair of monogrammed pillows from ballard designs:
with the intention of adding ribbon trim to them for our boudoir, like so:
by melissa ruftywhich i did. like 6 months ago. yet failed to photograph all pretty-like for the blog. and a few weeks ago? the day before the 4 year anniversary of the day i brought a baby sterling home from the animal shelter? when i was feeling all sentimental about how much i love that dog? i came home from work to this:
and so. all i have to share now are crappy phone pictures of a bed with one pillow.
but hey, check out that grosgrain trim! with mitered corners and everything!
lesson #2:
in september, i exchanged a gift at stein mart and got a pair of black resin lamps:
i did manage to take before pictures, high five!
which i painted with linen milk paint and glazed, then placed on our bedside tables. and all was right with the world for a few months.
don't mock my salt lamp. i freaking love my salt lamp. it emits good energy and a saixy glow.
until an incident a few weeks ago wherein cstone attempted to help me make the bed.
resin lamps? do not fare well when knocked off a bedside table. sigh.
a pair of these have been ordered as a suitable replacement:
and also less breakable. time will tell...
is your household a death trap for home decor? or is it just me? anyone?

I could trade you my two boys for your husband and dogs and you'd still be better off. Ease up there, Captain Fantastic and Furry Children!
Lesson #1 resonates with me. I just caught myself rearranging the duvet so the chewed corner doesn't show when you walk in the room. Love the grosgrain!!
We husbands have the best intentions...really!
I feel your dog pain, and admire your craftiness. :)
Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write such a sweet comment on my giveaway. Really thoughtful of you!! I love your blog btw - so great. Have a good week :))) xoxo Sheridan.
This is my life as well...four dogs mean I get to replace and repair things pretty often. Love your projects!
I do not mean to hound you, but I still need your address to mail you the giveaway you won on my blog.
