One of the biggest design mistakes — decorating your room with a rug that is too small, but what is a good rug size for a living room? You want to find a big enough rug for all your furniture to rest on (at least all the front legs, for sure). When it comes to rugs, size matters, so if you're looking for a new rug for your living room,[...]
Today I'm spilling the tea on how to make your home look expensive. I am by no means rich, but when I first began posting home decor on TikTok, one comment I received over and over again was hello #RichTok. Yes, there are times I splurge here and there, but more often than not, I'm looking for budget-friendly home decor. It's all about f[...]
Adding an outdoor rug is one of the easiest ways to elevate the design of your patio decor. It will define your space and tie everything together. While decorating my patio this spring, I stumbled over Ruggable's rugs and was amazed at all the colors and fun patterns they've recently added. Last week I rounded up my favorite outdoor pati[...]
Happy weekend eve! I tried to get this post live by this morning, but I've been busy, busy, busy getting the house ready for a visit from The Boy's parents. They live in Germany and because of the pandemic, we have not seen them in over 2 years. To say we are excited to see them is an understatement. The Boy also wants the house in tip-to[...]
Every time I see a beautiful rug in a kitchen or with a dog, I can't help but question the homeowner's sanity. Why ruin an expensive rug? I mean, we spill...a lot...especially now that my kiddos are learning to cook. Zoe dropped a pot of spaghetti sauce the other day. My son spilled melted butter all over the floor (and the dog). But I ge[...]

Sometimes they're nice enough to let me get up close and personal and share their story. Today I'm featuring Kim Gunter, vintage rug collector extraordinaire, and the brains behind Woven Abode.[...]
While working on the master bedroom makeover, I thought of a new description for beautiful rugs, floor flair. I declared it was the coolest new adjective ever. What is it you ask? Simply put, glamorous floor accessories that are so rad they might make you cry. Rugs, tile, paint, wood...if it makes you so incredibly happy that you ball lik[...]
A few months ago, I stumbled across the company Coco Carpets. See, I was on Pinterest late one night (no surprise there) and this a-mazing boucherouite Moroccan rug stopped me in my tracks. Now, if you've been watching my Instagram, you'll know I've been pining away for the perfect rug. It's become a thing. At one point I had 3 rugs I did[...]
Errmergerrrrrd you guys! I've gone Pinterest crazy with all these inspiring spaces I can't even stand it! I'm out of my funk and in full-on design mode. Seriously, I think the UPS guy is having flashbacks to the first 10 months after we moved in, and my husband is about to have a heart attack with the copious amounts of cardboard boxes th[...]
