Do people really think about gifts they give? Do they think about how this gift would be a gift that would KEEP ON GIVING....
My precious was given this beautiful pillow case by his Mother. His mother that is very into decorating and house could be seen in Southern Living.
He sleeps on it every night now. I had Holly Hobby and Ragedy Ann and pink and green plaid (yes I did) but you dont see me sleeping on them. I knew she had it out for me but this has gone a bit too far. What am I going to do about this little issue you may wonder....Smile! It's great to have a heart like a child. I want to be more like him and HIM !!!
I must confess... I bought this rug for his office. He liked it so much and it matched his pillow so its staying here for a while. The heart of this small story. Your home is YOURS... it doesnt have to be showroom ready. It just has to make you smile~

YIKES! Too bad he doesn't like a team with a prettier mascot. lol
I love the plates above your bed :)
his momma got him the pillow bc he doesn't live with her anymore!
jk...super fun. and i had to give up on the perfectness of my decor with all the kids. why do girls want purple??? grrrr
Being happy should take precendence over many things...give him this bit of child like play.
When you entertain the president, queen or governor...the pillow and rug can be stored away - LOL
Have a wonderful week.
That's funny and you are very sweet to go along with "his" decorating theme. I think we sometimes get so wrapped up in how everything looks and our need for the perfectly decorated, that we forget that other people need to LIVE in the home and enjoy it.
I'm glad ya'll have found a happy medium. Have a great day! Susan
So true! Mother-in-laws seem to have a knack for that kind of thing.
Hahaha...well the red/black does kind of go with your bedspread....not! You are definitely a good sport to go along with HIS decorating....at least for awhile....
I can't believe Maddy got a kitten. Do you have any kitten stories???? I hope she is not as wild as my Midnight. Do post about her please.
HA!
Parents sometimes give the oddest gifts... I wonder if Monkey will say that about me some day...
Oh you poor thing! Hide it under the other pillow shams! Your not living in Arkansas, right??
Mother-in-laws...always messing with us!
I have to get some white plates!!
I totally agree...but I think I would have to add those GA Bulldawgs instead...lol...you know I have that in me to but at least it hasn't hit my bed yet...I did do a bedroom that way though...I love my bulldawg room.
I love the fact that you let HIM keep it...that's so cute even thought the mascot and colors are terrible!
You know the University of Calif. at Santa Cruz's mascot is the Banana Slug. Things could be worse! Mimi
Not sure I would let that in my room.lol But good for you for having a sweet heart. :-)
HYSTERICAL!
Go Hogs!!! :)
Now if it were orange and blue and had War Eagle on it, I might could allow it. :)
How funny. I like the way you ended your post. I have to agree, and remind myself now and then about making a home be a home not a showroom for myself!
eww weeee susie. my word. well its his home too, whatever makes him happy. Mine runs around in some nice casuel clothes and some big ole purple and gold crocks...lol. I mean the man is obsessed, well not as much as me, but still, its a bit much. I love my purple and gold, so here's to Marc and his red and black, no matter how hidious it may be!!!! hugs Marc!
LOL....tooo funny! ;)
Ha Ha! Yes, I know about the mind of a 12 year old...but my decor is being transformed (well, at least is trying to be transformed) into camo. Not!
Hilarious. You are probably a touch nicer than me - ha! DH gets all the decorative license he wants in the MAN CAVE! And you can totally tell. Every now and again he will ask me for help. At least he has great taste in teams - Go Hogs!!!
p.s. Please stop by and see my latest gift from my MIL...
I totally understand when it comes to a husband who is a HUGE Razorback fan. But, I make my husband keep all of his Razorback stuff in his office. I have friends who have the complete Razorback bedding set, so it could be worse!
Woo Pig Sooie! Go Hogs ;)
Too funny! Now we live in Ar and are Hog fans, yes even season ticket holders but even I would almost have to draw that line! ;0)
OH you are so funny,but where are the HOG GLASSES I gave him for christmas? they should be on the nightstand. Oh for Valentines I'll let your hubby know you need a HOT RED HOG NIGHTY..lol MISSY
so proud of you for putting your love for your hubby above your love for beauty. the prettiest bedroom is nothing without love of the two who share it.
This made me laugh! If you remember, my husband had a framed baseball bat on my living room mantle for weeks. I can totally relate to your "pain". So he sleeps on a really ugly pillow...at least the rest of the room is gorgeous! :)
Oh how funny!
You are a sweet and indulgent wife.
And I echo Lisa from earlier...love the plates above the bed...they make up for the pillow and rug ;-)
Great point. You look at so many of these perfectly decorated show rooms and wonder does anyone have a real home. I'm glad to see you do!!!
Your room looks gorgeous even with the red pillow - give him a couple of weeks (like a 12 y/o) and then you can move it and he'll never know. You can always tell him it's in the wash:)
We have the same dilemma in our house. Only it involves Ohio State.
I need to learn that lesson!
Good for you!
Jen
GO HOGS!
Your a sweetheart to him! :)Lisa
Funny!
