New Family Room Rug

The Blog Boss And A New Rug
- a story of a cat and his home adventures -
What's this, Mom, a new rug?
Watch this, I'm gonna check it out ... 
Okay, I approve...even got a little cat hair on it for ya!

THE END


Oh great...just what it needed...a little cat hair!


So The Boss approves.
 Now I would love to know what YOU think!

Old Rug...

New Rug...



I was originally looking at the Dash and Albert rugs which I love
but I couldn't find one that seemed just right for this room.
Then I happened to see this one in a Pottery Barn catalog and the colors
 looked perfect.
It was less expensive than the Dash and Albert rugs too so
I was pretty okay with that!
I think it really pulls the room together.

So do you agree with "The Blog Boss"?
I would really love to know what you think 'cause
 I know you all have awesome style!

    Perfect! Your room looks like a PB photo--so pretty; I love how the rug pulls out the browns in your furniture and lovely against the wood floor.

    I think it looks great Joanne. It just pulls everything together and gives that pop of color. I LOVE it! And I think the Boss is adorable! Are cats not the funniest things when we bring something new in the house! They are a hoot!!

    I think the new rug brightens the room, and adds a nice fresh feel. I agree with the boss.

    I think it looks so so good! I really love it, it's perfect with the brown leather furniture you have. May I ask where you got the sofa and loveseat? I really like both! Although, I'm just looking for a leather chair. Isn't it just like a cat to put their stamp on a new piece at home!?!

    I love the PB rug and I am a big fan of blue, so you have my vote. It gives your room a fresher look too. Thanks for sharing at DIYbyDesign.

    There's something about a blue stripe rug that always catches my eye.....looks awesome in your room. I've been thinking about adding blue to my living room this summer, and this rug would be perfect. Of course, I had to check the PB website, and the price is fantastic compared to Dash and Albert (I actually sold a diamond necklace 2 years back to buy one!).

    You did good!

    Oh that rug is just so perfect! I too am looking for a new family room rug and had also considered Dash & Albert, but am very concerned with my kitty's nails making a mess of it. Please keep us updated as to how it holds up with your kitty - I think I see a new rug in my future!

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre
