Our New Living Room Rug!

RugsUSA wool Rug

Hey y’all, hope you had a great weekend!  I did some painting, shopping, had my baby shower, and celebrated Father’s Day so I’m pooped!  But everything was great. :)  I know you all have been on pins and needles (not really) to see which rug I ended up choosing for our living room, and today [...]

The Breakfast Room Makeover

Overstock Chandelier

Hi everyone!  I started the breakfast room redo a few months ago (maybe more), and finally just finished it.  Hooray for several month long projects! ;) Here is the before, of when I redid it the last time… I got tired of the Tobacco Road and repainted the kitchen (Sherwin Williams Balanced Beige) to go [...]

Chandelier Shopping

Drum Shade

To finish our breakfast room’s little redo, a new light fixture is in order.  It’s time for the current bo*b light fixture to go! :) I’ve been shopping around on Overstock (they have the best deals on lighting), and I think I’ve settled on this one because I always keep coming back to it. It’s [...]

Cute and Cheap Rug Alert!

Trellis Rug

The other day I was browsing around Lowe’s and came across this. It’s a 5×7 jute rug that has a trellis/geometric pattern to it, and it was only $34!! Yes, THIRTY-FOUR dollars. :)  I’ve been looking for one to go in our breakfast room for a while, so I was so happy to come across [...]

Rug Updates

Overstock Rug

I have 2 life-changing things to say today.  That may be stretching it a bit, but that’s ok. A few of you have let me know the rugs in our living room are now available in an 8×10 size at Overstock!  So if you were wanting the 5×8′s like we have which are still sold [...]

When Will The Shedding Stop?!

Geometric Rug

I do love our new rugs from Overstock that are in the living room now, but the shedding of the rugs is quite maddening.  I know the rugs weren’t the most expensive (but not super cheap either), but the quality still seems good, and they are nice and thick with a good pile height. But [...]

A New Retreat: Living Room Reveal!

Living Room Makeover

Well the home tour continues today with the new living room!  It really feels like a new room.  Actually the house feels like a new house again, and now finally, a home. I think we all strive to make our homes a welcoming retreat and a place to relax comfortably at the end of the [...]

Feeling Discouraged

This will be a bit of a pity party post, sorry.  I’m discouraged about our dining room.  And I’ll go ahead and tell you that we have turned it into an office, so there, the secret is out.  :) I REALLY wanted gray, as that is what I am loving at the moment.  But will [...]

Crushin’ on Quatrefoil

I’m sure you’ve seen this design everywhere by now right?  Do you love it as much as I do? I really would like a rug for the new dining room, and I think a rug like this would look great. Oh gosh I just love it!  It is from Ballard’s and I SO wish it [...]
