We sold the old rug last night, a few hours after I received the email notice that the new rug was shipping. I’m really excited to see it in the space – here’s hoping we like it. (I think I like it – I’m not sure the rest of the gang is sold on it.) Now if I could just sell that couch…
I also ordered some samples in coordinating colors with this rug – we’re going to try and make a custom shaped entry mat at the front (side) entry that comes directly into the living room. This is an ongoing design problem – creating an entry / landing zone when you walk directly into a living room. After having a week of wet snow and slush and ice, we are reminded again that we need more than a 2’x3′ floor mat for eight feet in boots to step in on. I’m even thinking about a summer entry and a winter entry. The only problem with that is that we live in a city where it can be one of those things one day, and the other the next day! Last night the ice hit the window like tinkling glass all night long – and I wouldn’t be surprised if we were wearing short sleeves next week. Ahh…February in the Midwest.
Ugh, Stu is there and says the weather is horrible. So sorry! The sun FINALLY showed up today and it was glorious. Hope it sticks around for a while.
