When Chris and I graduated from college, we moved straight away to Philadelphia where I lived in a school dormitory and Chris set up in what was to become our first apartment. My Terp loving then fiance hung a large Maryland University banner showcasing the Maryland Terrapin in the dining room. I remember a conversation like, "So, once we're married, do you want to hang the banner over the couch or keep it in the dining room?" My response was...basement? And yes, when we wed, the Terrapin took up residence in the basement of that and every other homes. Until...

Last week, I was browsing my Facebook feed and, being a fan of Pottery Barn, came across their March Madness contest in my newsfeed. Pottery Barn was taking photo submissions of "Game Watching Headquarters." I just started laughing. "Chri--is? Where is that Maryland banner?"





I'm just tickled pink about the whole thing!

  4. you won? that's awesome! I'm glad you're updating again because your blog was always one of my favorites to read. When Guy and I get a new house, can you come to Pittsburgh and be my interior decorator? I love your style (well, minus the MD banner)

  5. Even funnier is the fact that Maryland didn't even make it into the NIT tournament. Our men's basketball team stank this year.

    YAY! for winning!

  6. Vivian- I know! When they lost to Duke last week, I asked Chris if I should get a different team banner for my submission. He was offended.
    Caity- thanks! I love decorating. =)
    Sarah- I'll tell Chris so. =) Actually, I don't have any other ideas for him...probably because I've run out of room at this house.
