Well the 89th Oscars was last night and I think we can all agree that the whole show was quite the performance! I stayed up all night to get to the "good" part at the end for all the big movies and actors, I was enjoying some delicious red wine, goat cheese, and crackers when OOPS the biggest Oscar blunder!
Needless to say I spilled/spit my RED WINE on my new couch in total shock and confusion, and I'm not going to lie I cried a little bit. I spent many hours picking out the frame, fabric, fill, color, and matching pillows and throw so I was pretty upset when I spilled wine, but then I remembered that our amazing manager Jackie insisted that I use Sunbrella fabric for my new sofa. I can not even begin to tell you how relieved I was when a little bit of water, cleaning solution, and lots of love and the stain just vanished!
