This post could be alternatively titled, "How to stage a photoshoot at Restoration Hardware." For Valentine's Day, I'd had this very specific image of a photo I wanted of Jaye. Her in her gorgeous pink dress in the perfect romantic chair with just the right feel. It was going to be awesome. The only problem was that I didn't own any such chair.
