You may recall that we've been searching for a new side table for our living room for quite sometime (Okay, I seriously doubt anyone cares that much to remember, but god forbid I leave anyone hanging on such an important issue). Ultimatums aside, we weren't going to settle for any old table. It had to be the right size, the right color and of course the right price.
We finally found one at the beginning of June at the Great Geauga Antiques Fair. But if you buy a new table you have to have a new lamp, right? And if you get a new lamp, you need new pillows to match, right?
Well, at least that's the way we think. So thank goodness Pottery Barn has 50% off sales for people like us. The photo collage, while inspired by PB, actually came from Ikea, where they sell the same style of frames only much cheaper. It only took us, oh, almost five years to put some of our wedding photos on display.
And to further illustrate how thrifty we are, here are my PB inspired letters (PB catalogs are riddled with big letters), purchased for $2 a piece at the aforementioned antique fair.
I like to think of the tall "R" as Mark, and the small "R" as me.
Here's a bonus photo of our dining room that I took earlier this year while fooling around with the camera. Don't you wish you had a one-of-a-kind portrait of an some old guy watching over you as you eat?
