Hi Everyone!
We have a new living room rug and I absolutely love it. Like love-love it. One of my dear friends texted me weeks ago and said she had a rug that needed a new home and she thought it was just my style. She and I attended design school together, so she has a pretty good handle on what I’m drawn to. I told her I planned on layering rugs in the living room so she shot me over a picture of it to see if I was interested. I immediately knew it would be perfect. We were finally able to connect last week and It was even better in person.
Now y’all know I’m not a fan of chevron, (and if you didn’t…now you do) but this has a herringbone effect to it which gives it a global feel to me. I love the deep navy color which I think looks amazing with the teal walls.
I love the overdye that was in here, but I always felt the color tone was slightly off in this space. It was a little too turquoise against the wall color.
It has since moved into the master bedroom and it looks great it there.
This space is coming together slowly but surely. Ive got my eye on a few new pieces including a new coffee table and a sofa. We’ve been on the hunt for a sofa for over two years now. Im so over it. And now that we’ve downsized we are faced with a new set of considerations, like whether or not to go with a sleeper sofa since we no longer have a dedicated guest room. Really, I just need the sofa fairy to drop one off while im out one day. This could take another two years.
Until next time….

By-George you’ve done it again.. You created an absolutely beautiful home. I love the living room and how you have all the colors flowing through. Very inviting yet not one color overpowers the other. Congratulations on another fab job.

The new rug looks fantastic!! Sofa the hunt is real, totally understand, we (i) had a mile long list of what I wanted and didn’t want in a sofa, its a big investment piece and one you’ll have for a while, so take you time and locally check out Scandinavian Designs – we bough our two sofas from their and our previous one!

I really love the navy rug. It is lovely to see how you mix your shades of blue. I have always wanted to do this but never had a visual that would help me. Now I do and for that, I thank you! Love your blog, Recently found you and am now a fan.

oh i LOVE the new rug! navy and teal is my favorite combo! and i feel the same about chevron- the only place i’ve ever had it in my house is sawyer’s room and that’s because he picked “the red zig zag” fabric from the choices i gave him of red. 🙂
