First, i must give a little bit of history. The first year Mark and i were married, we were trying to decorate our first apartment. We had most things, except we both felt our couch needed some accent pillows. (after all, pillows are an essential part of all living rooms) For probably an entire year we wound up at Kohl's about every week to every-other week looking at their pillows. We NEVER bought anything! we would show up, go straight for the pillows, look around, gough at the prices, and leave.
Yesterday we bought pillows at Kohl's!!! it was maybe the most ironic thing ever. at least to us. The best part is that they were 50% off! AND, we had a $10 gift card! That is the first successful part of the outing.
Successful part number two: we bought new towels. Our towels were getting pretty gross. we are both quite relieved to have new ones.
Successful part number three: we bought some accent pieces at TJ Maxx. On a side note, Mark almost kidnapped a small child while we were there. Or at least that is what her mother thought. So i was in line to purchase our items when we remembered that we had something to return in the car. So Mark ran outside to get it. There was a family standing in the parking lot right by our car (i'm assuming they were parked nearby). As Mark ran near our car, one of the little girls from the family (probably about 3 years old) stepped right in front of Mark. He essentially was tripping over her and was holding on to her to keep her from falling down. It was at this moment that the Mom saw what was happening and yelled out " Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh!!" as if Mark was trying to run off with her. I thought it was pretty funny, but Mark was pretty shaken. Ha ha!!
Successful part number four: we had lunch with Mark's cousin Briant and his wife Camille! We hadn't seem them in ages and had a great time with them! not to mention, we went to Texas Road House!!! Yummy!!! I'm going to eat the leftover rolls for breakfast!!!
Overall, it was a successful day! mostly just because Mark didn't have work and i had him all to myself all day!!!
That tall black vase was one of the accent pieces we got.
These are some built in shelves. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to put here, so in the meantime it has been accumulating piles. I added the bowl (accent piece).
I plan on putting something cooler in here, but until i figure it out and buy them, mark put golf balls in there. I better hurry and figure something else out or he could get used to it.
