Anyhow, here they are... the long awaited Restoration Hardware upholstered items have arrived! I went to the grocery store last week and picked up a can of scotch guard, knowing that somewhere in the future, I would have a pretty little creamy, white chair sitting in my living room- but was expecting mid-February as my arrival time... so, I think that by purchasing the Scotch Guard, I <i>willed</i> my chairs to arrive... you know, <i>"If you build it, they will come,"</i> right? And here they are!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUIxS8BZJ7ztDYU2j92CxuUudsb9eiElN2KCudAHWO3u1O9iHIsZzWxcvzpO-Rv3hJ8b8xbuIlLcPzG68EFtuBa8i-GFX8OcOmKdPjNRteyMY4ZB0OKmDFPPrIj7erby3T_3n0v8T_7uw5/s1600/abode+love+living1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUIxS8BZJ7ztDYU2j92CxuUudsb9eiElN2KCudAHWO3u1O9iHIsZzWxcvzpO-Rv3hJ8b8xbuIlLcPzG68EFtuBa8i-GFX8OcOmKdPjNRteyMY4ZB0OKmDFPPrIj7erby3T_3n0v8T_7uw5/s640/abode+love+living1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">Remember, this is what I had before...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8MZSpRIQjblKuTYMBOEO9Y9R1lM4vGAVKpyKtNQeHLcBr4O6y4PxLrNwVqiYWvKxTPB6O4Y69YJCk8kXDxd4c6vxR0qsljpkf_DCMEw-ZsOOhv_k1-S7qwFg7GaknMUVqGKFF_3xXRkkg/s1600/abode+love+stripe+drapes+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8MZSpRIQjblKuTYMBOEO9Y9R1lM4vGAVKpyKtNQeHLcBr4O6y4PxLrNwVqiYWvKxTPB6O4Y69YJCk8kXDxd4c6vxR0qsljpkf_DCMEw-ZsOOhv_k1-S7qwFg7GaknMUVqGKFF_3xXRkkg/s640/abode+love+stripe+drapes+3.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /></a>the leather slipper chairs seem mighty heavy now in the space-- so glad that I got something a bit more <i>"dainty"</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_SDEc7YnxDyLKDKJqdKwQP_ZjkUUIsTh5_i6yGwgwgQD9CiGRYmrGK061UwHF5hJIxJmJB0FFyNbkPG8kbrwvA7y59B4cwUoGInCV8rnwdvAUsAdRzmExwcCceCfQctSzg02EY57lsA31/s1600/abode+love+stripe+drapes+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_SDEc7YnxDyLKDKJqdKwQP_ZjkUUIsTh5_i6yGwgwgQD9CiGRYmrGK061UwHF5hJIxJmJB0FFyNbkPG8kbrwvA7y59B4cwUoGInCV8rnwdvAUsAdRzmExwcCceCfQctSzg02EY57lsA31/s640/abode+love+stripe+drapes+2.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">And remember this?
