Source: google.com via sixteen fourteen on Pinterest Thanks Ryan Gosling. That means a lot to me, seriously. Back to the house stuff. I've been on a major rug kick lately, ever since I realized that I need approximately 100 of them. And you know what? Rugs are crazy expensive, and the pickings on Craigslist and Ebay are woefully slim. I did buy two from West Elm for the entry hallway, though! I like them. I {hope} KNOW I'll like them more when everything is on the walls and our new front door is painted. I picked them because the color is dark, which is good for the front hallway. The part I don't totally love is the pattern and the way the "antiquing" is really uneven, even though I know that's the idea: I also got this one {below} from Home Goods for my dining room. It's an 8x10 Calvin Klein wool rug called Marrakech, and it's great quality for the price: And finally, my third and final rug purchase from Overstock, for the master bedroom. It's currently rolled up in the package in our dining room where it's been for a week or two {that's how we do it around here, folks}. I'm not sure exactly what I was thinking, because it's an ivory hooked wool rug with a bold, cobalt blue pattern. Huh? Right? I thought I'd decided on a neutral, flatweave pattern to complement the very masculine furniture and linens, so this could be a bad decision indeed: And there you have it Ryan Gosling, my riveting recent rug purchase story.
Thanks for reading. :-)
