My son's new Madras quilt from PBK is ruined!

Okay, so 4/14/2010 I purchased my son's Navy Madras quilt from Pottery Barn kids, he grabbed the catalog and chose the one he wanted. So he runs to me today, going nuts saying his quilt is broken. So I find the problem and notice that the stitching has come undone on one part..I'm SO nervous thinking that they won't send another one since it's been one month. So I called customer service biting my nails. The woman that answered the phone was SO wonderful and nice. I gave her my order number and it will be here June 9th! I'm sending the old one out tomorrow. I'm so glad that they back their products..Phew..Let's cross our fingers that it doesn't happen again!

My new home exterior!!

Okay so we moved in March 8, 2003 into our home. The asbestos was yellow with muted dark blue shutters and azaleas in the front..It's come a long way since then..I still have some painting to do like the front door and putting vinyl rails up. It's a rather small home, but it's our home! Home is truly where the heart is!




The front view

The front garden was just a small patch of weeds and grass.



My restoration hardware doorbell is FINALLY ON!


This is a small image of before and after



You can see the small patch of grass and the white vinyl shutters I put up.

So we spent the day at Chick's beach on Memorial day



Bad picture of the Hampton Roads Bridge tunnel!


The weather was perfectly perfect, my tan is darker, and my children were wonderful...Strange huh? I just love seeing the ocean, the sand, and the blue skies. It makes me want to change my living room colors even more! When we bought our home in 2003, it was bare with tons of crosses everywhere...I have no problem..with one..but a million? So I painted the room a Behr Martini Olive green and bought a wallpaper border...Forgive me...I was 17. So now I'm on a mission to finish all of my rooms, BEFORE I move onto the room that doesn't really need touching. Any ideas would be helpful..this is what it looks like right now
