I like to think there are only two seasons in Florida: hot and not-so-hot. At this time, we are transitional from not-so-hot to hot. Some days, I find myself complaining about the heat – it is just so humid! Then I get to thinking, what am I going to do when the highs are close […]

A New Rug for the Living Room
The rug I had ordered after selling our previous one came in last Friday. I was nervous – as in, really nervous – that I wouldn’t like it as much as our sweater rug. Thankfully I come baring good news – I love it! I loved the sweater rug as well, but this one is […]
Changing My Rug Mind
A couple of days ago, I said goodbye to our sweater rug. I did love the rug, but something wasn’t settling right with me. What mostly bothered me was the way the brownish undertones clashed with the blueish-black of our couch. It drove me crazy. Seriously though, since when has there been one hundred shades […]
Modern Library with Kalaty Rugs
This post brought to you by Kalaty Rug Corp. All imaginary libraries and rug dreams are my own. An area rug can make or break a home’s design; and the right rug can drastically change the feeling of a room – trust me, I know. So when Kalaty contacted me about their handcrafted rugs, I was all ears. Their […]
A Sweater Rug for the Living Room
After a month on back order, our area rug is now here! After much deliberation, we ended up settling on West Elm’s sweater rug in sable; mainly because it is a high quality wool rug in our budget. I had my worries, especially since I hadn’t seen it in person, so waiting a month was painstaking. […]

Window Shopping for an Area Rug
I’ve never been a huge fan of our living room rug; it was inexpensive and that showed heavily after the three years of use in our home. So when my husband told me I could buy a new area rug for my birthday, my mind began racing with ideas. I knew I want a rug […]
Window Shopping at General Store
Have you guys heard of General Store? I hadn’t until a week ago and since then, I’m hooked. I love their collection of simple yet interesting products. Mostly everything has a natural tone with varying textures, which I’ve been really gravitating towards lately. It’s hard not to get lost in their catalog! Here are some […]
Gifts for Children
The last Christmas gift guide for the week is the biggest gift list. Children take up a pretty huge portion of my life, so it only makes sense to dedicate the biggest gift guide to them. Instead of gathering all possible children gifts into one round up, I separated it into three; baby, toddler, and […]
