I hung up our new woodpecker door knocker yesterday.

Score!

    Let me just say that Brandon’s response is (1) hilarious (2) VERY typical of what my husband says about my decor choices and (3) hilarious!! Score indeed!

    I agree if I had a dollar everytime my husband has said. “I don’t hate it”, “I think it will grow on me” or my favorite “You spent how much on this?”

    I would be happy hearing “I don’t hate it.” That would be a victory indeed! I love it.

    Nicole, I love this! It’s perfect.

    Jordan says that to me all the time when I show him stuff I want. It’s a victory, for sure.

    Hate it? I totally completely love.Love.LOVE it! :)

    But if I got a “I don’t hate it” from Bill I would probably fall over! He usually subscribes to the “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all” philosophy.

    Hahaha, I don’t hate it either – I love it! I guess “I don’t hate it” is better than a “meh” and a shoulder shrug. I think he’s adorable and want to come knock on your door now! Wait that sounds creepy… don’t worry I’m all the way in Canada and won’t be stopping by ; ) lol.

    Sometimes “I don’t hate it” is the best response we can hear. Because, really… what choice do they have? :)

    GAH! We have an actual, real woodpecker outside our office who seems to think the cedar siding is just like tree bark. There must be lots of tasty bugs in the office walls.

    I’m clearly sharing a brain with you lately because I just added this to my Anthropologie cart. My husband doesn’t understand it but says it is better than the hooks I like so bam!, I jumped on that.

    That would fit so great to our front door.
    Well, I just copied the link and sent it to my son…hint hint….Christmas is coming up soon! ;)
    Maybe for a change he won’t ask my hubby what he could get me for Christmas.

    I think it’s adorable. Is it hard to use hung upright? You can’t flip the tail and make it knock that way.
