One of my goals this summer has been to remodel, to some degree, our bedroom and try to make it more personal, with a touch of romance.  Well, sadly, I’ve failed in this endeavor so far….but I do have at least one piece to add to the room to add a touch of romance.

When I was younger, and my mom would take me clothes shopping, she always tried to look for things that were not dry clean only.  Of course, some things we couldn’t help, but even now I find myself wanting to buy items that are washable, just because I don’t really have the time or the [...]
