I've been working on the top two items on my to do list before Halloween.
Thankfully, there are/have been a lot of rug sales going on right now. West elm had one (it looks like it's over now) and thanks to some design dollars I had with them, I ordered this 3x5 rug and only paid $25! Now that's a deal ;)
I plan on layering it over a larger jute rug. I had originally thought about buying two of these $100 IKEA rugs, but then I discovered World Market is having a rug sale. Since I got the 3x5 rug for only $25, I had some extra budget to spend a little more for the jute rug. I ordered this 9x12 jute rug for only $330 (shipped):
They are both on their way, and I'm crossing my fingers they work perfectly!
They are for here:
I know they will make the space feel much cozier!
I have to tell you about another recent acquisition. Matt and I recently went on a home tour here in Charlotte and one of the homes smelled sooo good. of course, I had to buy the candle that was burning. (Luckily, we sell these candles at Isabella and I get a discount, or else I'd probably spend an obscene amount of money on candles.)
The candle is Lafco's Office candle... it's the perfect candle for the cooler, fall weather. It ALMOST smells Holiday-like (since it has rosemary) but not quite.
hey bryn, can you remind me where you got your living room coffee table? thanks!
ReplyDeletenice! They'll look great. I really admire your ability to wait out purchases to get what you really want... so patient!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I"m excited to see the rugs! Also, anything rosemary/mint eucalyptus/mint (Bath and Body Works!) or a combo is great in my book. The herbs make it work any time of the year.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the results - when you finish can you come to my house?!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever flipped the location of the LR couch and arm chairs? I am a compulsive re-arranger and I love your style, but I always want to rearrange the furniture just to see what it looks like.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a rug or 2! to warm up a space. Love that West Elm one - can't wait to see the in your room.
ReplyDeleteI have this exact same west elm rug layered over a jute rug I had prior. The layering for it looks fabulous. I just love it. Excellent choice. The 5x8 rug at our west elm outlet (memphis) was $150. The 8x10 was still like $500 so the 5x8 was by far the DEAL! Yay. Can't wait to see it when it's done.
ReplyDeleteI just did this exact layering the other day for a client. I am also thinking about it for my own home. I can't wait to see how it looks in yours!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the rugs layered and I am sucker for any good smelling candle!
ReplyDeleteThe rug seems to be hand made. It will have a great look in your room. The tall black chairs are looking aggressive with a tall glass lamp besides them.
ReplyDeleteI bought a rosemary candle last year, and my friend that I was shopping with thought it was so odd! It ended up being one of my all time favorites - strong, fresh and herby without being too Christmas tree. - Rachel
ReplyDeleteLove the rugs you got! Can't wait to see your gallery wall!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sale tip - I have had my eye on the World Market rug! I brought it home yesterday (I needed a 6x9, which they have in-store) and I'm pleased with it. I'm curious about how it will work with a rug over the top though - it's quite thick and knotty. You'll have to let us know!
ReplyDeleteNice rug! Please let us see more !! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are doing better with your list than I am......saw all the rugs on sale at WM......kind of think I need a new one somewhere :)
