pillow infidelity

let me start by sharing with you

the only safe

unmoved or relocated pillow

in my home

i don't know about you

but when i move one thing

replacement of multiple other things

soon follows

such has been the case

around here

the last several weeks

my latest crush is pillows

linen pillows

burlap pillows

vintage french pillows

antique linen pillows

soft scrunchy pillows

which reminds me~~
one of my daughter's friends walked in the other day
& said
"wow, what a white room"
apparantly she repeated that observation multiple times
as she visited our home
& it didn't sound like she was a fan

clearly
the poor child
doesn't appreciate the neutral movement
that , dare i say, is taking over my home decorating
bless her heart


of course my more critical daughter
was mighty quick to point out
" see mom, i told you its too white in here"

but then she fessed up
that her bestie
loved our "wow, what a white home" home

everyone's a critic right?

oh

& by the way , i have a red sofa for crying out loud

its not "all white" 'round here....sheesh

back on track

as you can see

the pillow movement took on a life of its own

sorta like american idol

gotta wait til the 'next week' to find out

who was gonna get moved out

it all started in the bedroom

doesn't it always?

im sorry

that was sorta inappropriate

my bff kristin & her resident marthastewartmom

took two of my mother in law's vintage linen towels

( they can do anything)

& made these precious precious pillows

i love these little pretties

but had to break it to the big guy

they are not for laying on, squisshing, or propping upon

duh

then i tried to decide if a ginormous pillow

appropriate for squishing & laying upon

would be better suited for the bed

or this one?

being the funny guy that he is

he often times sends photo texts to me while i'm at work

to "make sure" he made the bed correctly

& that the pillow placement meets approval

har har

the latest score are these finds from Restoration Hardware

i think i might of grabbed the last few
which only means multiple other Atlanta housewives
are now facing the same potential pillow infidelity i am




& being all about symmetry
the next question was
2 or 3?

the next morning the sun was shining
& the birdies were chirping
so i took that as affirmation that all 3 would remain

closure
i love that




well
i think today
every pillow has its place



& now i can get on to other
major decisions
such as
what stays on the kitchen counter
& what's gonna go



clearly i need to get a life
