Repossessing my House: a Table, Jack Sparrow & Edward Cullen

I have a love-hate relationship with Homegoods.  I read all these design blogs where resourceful SHEs magically find awesome pieces of furniture there for no money.  I am not so lucky, which is why I usually call that place, HomeCrap.  Childish, yes.  Makes me feel better though.  


I ran in there the other day and really thought I hit the jackpot.  I found this white table for $99.00 (I also found this totally cool tiki bar for $299 that would be a perfect addition to a SHE-friend's deck...come on M!)  Then the HE in my life came home and said it looks cheap....like it was $99.00 or something.  What do you think?  I think it at least looks like it's worth $125.  



On the positive, I did find a really great solution to my "problem" that I mentioned a few blogs ago.  Remember, the "problem"?
My precious Pussy Willow Sanchez likes to use my new chairs as a scratching post.  As a reminder, here are my new chairs.  



Here is my solution, my "chair-phylactics" if you will.


Well heeelllloooo Jack and Edward....so good you could come here to my humble abode...you look quite well this evening...what?  How am I doing?  Just fine, thank you (blushing).  What????  You find me attractive?  Oh geez....nah....come on, I'm married! We have a "blanket exception" though.  It's all good!

  3. Oh my! As I've always said, nothing says white trash like (a) an above ground pool or (b) blankets with people on them. Oh wait - did I say white trash? I meant "home improvement"... Does your HE let you sleep with these as part of the blanket exception????

  4. Karen....Jack or Edward? Or did you mean the table? B Frank...if you only could see/feel the quality of these fine blankets, then you would realize that I am on the cusp of a major design trend. Everyone will have them in their homes. I am trying to find a Zac Ephron one right now to complete my collection. :)

  5. Are the faces of Jack and Edward supposed to scare just kitty away from the chairs or everyone? There's something about sitting and faces that could spiral down very quickly!
