Rug Update!

You may remember that someone who shall remain nameless recently ruined my cream-colored living room rug, and I was in the market for a replacement? Well, a friend of mine who had purchased a rug from Overstock.com, and then decided it didn't really go in his house, sold it to me for half of what it cost him! Score!

It's not really exactly what I had in mind, but a 9x11 plush wool rug for $200 is hard to pass up. I think with a few well-chosen accessories, I can really make it work.



The bad news is, though, that the cream couch might also be short-lived. Daisy is a big dog with a propensity for general dirtiness, and I think a leather (read: wipe-able) couch might be in order. So that might be my next big purchase!

The Rosenfeld Cottage

I just happened to show my incredibly talented Graphic Designer friend, Rachael, an illustrated house picture I liked on etsy, and the next thing I knew she sent me my very own Rosenfeld Cottage drawing! How freaking cute is this??

I kind of want to Mod Podge it onto everything I own! Can't you just see it now? Rosenfeld Cottage dishes, linens, cross-stich patterns, throw pillows, tea cozies... the possibilities are endless!

I'm going to bribe her into making it into a header for this blog. Stay tuned for a major (and much needed) redesign!
