My House Bible....

So the above is in my inbox from Ballard Designs, and since this company/catalog is what I consider to be the gospel for all things decorating I QUICKLY went through the list seeing what I would be able to check off. Things were going great until I got to the tip about having a place to rest your drink/book/remote/wine glass(lets be realistic here) and I realized that the most comfortable seat in our family room is totally missing a place to perch a drink/book/remote/WINE GLASS near it. So, today I solved that problem by purchasing the little cheetah print gem below. For...wait for it....$40. I love that its tone on tone cheetah print and the top removes for storage, AND if you spend $100 at Ballard (in other words pretty much if you make a purchase at all) you get a year's subscription to Traditional Home (providing its around in another year, so sad all the magazines that have called it quits this year). So I get a magazine to look forward to each month(a little bit pathetic, but I'm okay with it) and extra storage space for my drink/book/remote/WINE GLASS.
