  1. Abi and Kate,

    Thanks for the amazing Sunday surprise!!! I am so honored to see my Quatrefoil Drum Shade in today’s roundup. It is such a dream to be included in a Centsational Girl BOTB. I am off to check out that brake fluid drum side table…amazing!

  2. I love this post!! I went and checked out the Neiman Marcus thing…that is hilarious. Who are they selling to? Anyhow thanks for sharing!!

  3. I read the entire story of the Queen Anne restoration. Having to meet a 6-month deadline to get the house up to code made me appreciate moving into a new home. The home owners worked non-stop day and night to make this happen. I applaud them for the efforts. They kept as much of the original home as possible.

    I am so excited to read the rest of your links. Hugs, Jan
