Navy and White Chevron Rugs Arrived!!!

I would like to say that this post is strictly about our new rugs that just came in, but, well, it seems to have more to do with our little buddy who wouldn't leave me alone while I tried to take pics of the rugs.  

Last night, Santa arrived, or as I like to call him Mr. UPS.  We just finished dinner when the delivery came, so we cleared everything out of the morning room and put the new rug down.

 I have held off for awhile on picking a rug for the house.  Do you do that when it comes to bigger items for your home?  It's such a big decision.  It is easy for me to go with a safe neutral, but a bit tougher when I want a larger piece and I know I am spending a bit more money on.   I had a few in mind, but recently narrowed it down to a Navy Chevron Rug.  I got this one and the hall runner on the 50% off deal at Rugsusa.  I just checked their site and they actually have an even better deal, 60-80% off rugs for the Easter sale.  If you've been thinking about purchasing a rug, you may want to head over and have a gander.  

 I have to say, I really love it.  I was a bit nervous at first just bringing in some heavier colors, since we have had a lighter palette for awhile but it works great in the space and most importantly, Dozer seems to like it.

  I mean really liked it ;-)  

I tried to get several pictures of the rug by itself, but that never seemed to happen.  So if Dozer could talk he would say that the rug is soft and comfortable and rather Nap Worthy.

 Here is the runner for the front hall.  I like having something similar, whether it is pattern or color, in different parts of the house to tie it all together and make the spaces feel connected.

 Can you guess what's missing from this picture?  It's like Where's Waldo.  

Yup, he's back and apparently this rug makes you want to completely relax.  ;-)

I think that the runner adds a much needed punch of color to the space.  The sunburst mirror was a recent find from Homegoods and I'm still in debates over whether or not it should go here or somewhere else in the house. We will be painting the hall a light warm gray and also the morning room where the other rug is.  I think once it is all finished off, the space will feel even more inviting.  

I don't know if I got a chance to mention in a recent posts, but we just had a Homegoods open about 20 minutes from our house.  Ahhh!  My home away from home!  Their grand opening was Sunday.  I was able to go their soft opening Friday which was such a blast and I have been 3 more times since then.  Is that an addiction?  Do they have a limit to how many times you can visit or stay over  night?  I'm just throwin it out there.  Don't you think they should have HomeGoods Lock-ins for women, like they used to do at the Bowling Alley when I was little.  Just an idea HomeGoods ;-) 

I was able to find some really great things, so stop back by to see the next post!

Also,  Design Board Packages are still half off through Easter Sunday.  Email me if you are interested!

Too many Butts in the Bathroom!!!

Where else would butts be right, lol!   I know GROSS sorry, but there where a lot of butts in the bathroom yesterday.

 

 

Everyone had a job to do even if they didn't exactly figure out what it was.  Don't you love having the kids help on things?  We sure did (enter sarcasm here ;-) )    Mom are we done yet?  This is taking forever!!!

 

I don't even know how they ask those questions when we are two minutes in, lol. 

 

Sorry about the lighting in the pic.  The two over head flood lights mechanisms can't go in until the bead board goes up on the ceiling.  I really like that we had the one light fixture split into the two separate lights.  We had the electricians come in yesterday to do the bathroom and mudroom lighting. 

 

When we saw how much light you lose with having these style fixtures, we opted for a second recessed light right above the sink area.  That way there will be plenty of light when all is said and done.  We also need to just pick up some stronger watt bulbs for the light fixtures.

 

 I always catch Dustin in random shots like here he is engaged in a discussion with the towel bar.  I don't know what to tell ya!

 

 

 I know he will be excited when our house is finished and he can just relax in it.  He already works two other jobs, so now here he is on Job #3.  Poor tired eyes!  Now get back to work, we got a bathroom to finish   ;-)

 

 

 

Pulling up the linoleum.

 

 Dozer never strays to far from where we are.  He has been following us upstairs and down to see what we have been getting into and then just lays down next to watch and see if we screw up.

 

 

The coastal goose neck lights are up and running.  We need to plug the hole and do some patch work, then comes framing out the mirror.

 

Quite a ways to go, but I am just so glad we have started on it!

 

 

 Bead board is nearly finished, but we are calling it a night.

 

Now on to a completely different topic:   RUGS.

 

RUGSUSA is having a huge sale, 50% off of various rugs and an 80% off blowout on a few pages of rugs too!

 

I didn't know about the sale until yesterday when I was looking for a rug for under our morning room table and a matching runner for the front hall.  I have had my eye on this guy for awhile now...

 

 

I checked out the sale and YEP, this pretty boy was 50% off, so I got him and his little lady runner for the hall.  Why does little lady runner sound so naughty?  

 

 

 

I thought I did AWESOME with my savings until I came across a rug for my mum and dad's dining room makeover.  It was in the 80% off blowout section and she saved...

 

 $633.60 SAVINGS!!! 

 

 It is a simple white 6 foot round 100% cotton rug.  Well for originally $792, there has to be something not so simple about this rug.  Right?  I can't wait to see it in person and then take a nap on it to vouch for it's softness.
