New Rugs

I came across these Ballard rugs and fell in love! I ordered a 2' x 3' for the kitchen and a 3' x 5' for my office {which is still in the planning stages}.



The best part is that they are outdoor rugs, which will be perfect for the kitchen!

IKEA: Textiles

While at IKEA, I found many new textiles that would work perfectly for our home and our budget.

I knew before going that I was going to be purchasing curtains for the living room, I just didn't know which ones. When I saw the MERETE at $20 for a pair, my decision was made easy. They make such a huge difference! We hung them right below the ceiling to make the room appear a little taller.



Another thing I knew I wanted was a sheepskin. I had a sneaky suspicion that Ellie would love curling up on it for naps and boy, was I right! She loves it!



While browsing through the textile department, I came across these awesome ethnic black and white pillows. They are a really thick cotton and I knew they would go perfectly with my Chiang Mai beauties.



I am not really sure if this counts as a textile, but I figured I would throw it in. This fun, geometric doormat only set us back $5!!!



And the best for last... I saw this 7x9 rug and knew it had to be mine! It goes perfectly under our new dining room table, which I will be revealing next week. {No, it isn't from IKEA!}

Well that was fast!

The rug got here today, which means we finally have some color in the living room. I can't wait to start bringing in accessories to give the room some life. (pillows, wall art, lamps, etc.) The girls are pretty excited because they don't have to lay on the wood floor anymore! I also still need to paint my antique side table.

Rug is coming

We ordered a rug. It it is the moorish rug from PB. We bought it off of Ebay for $300 plus shipping. Not too bad since it retailed for $600! Finally, some color. And orange at that - Go Pokes!

Wish List...

With the impending arrival of our new furniture (couch, leather chair, coffee table, media table and sofa/console table) in 4 days, I am on the prowl for many accessories to start pulling the room together.

This 5' x 8' rug from rugs-direct.com is $300 price tag and has free shipping.



Some of these picture frames from Ikea that come in slew of sizes to a create picture gallery.



This coral lamp from Pier 1 for $99.



And this Nate Berkus Sofa from hsn.com. The velvet is dreamy and it is only $499! Thank you, Nate.
