I always out an ornament to take home and put on our Christmas tree вЂ“ because letвЂ™s be honest вЂ“ an ornament is one of the only things most people can afford in both of those stores.

Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn are right beside each other in the fancy part West Houston.Д®very year I go in and admire the elaborate Christmas displays but most of all IвЂ™m awed by their furniture and home decor. We see Transiberian Orchestra, go out to eat, stay in a hotel and the next day we do a little shopping!
