A few of my favorite things

Rug options Jeremy and I recently swapped a bunch of furniture between our home and his new studio. We purchased a new couch (I’ll share soon!) and now we’re in need of a new rug. I’ve been hunting for a colorful rug in at least an 8×10 size (a little larger could also work). So far my favorites are… 1. This rug from Urban Outfitters. I really like the mix of colors and feel like it it would work in our living room. 2. This rug that I first saw via Amber Interiors. I’m normally not much for pink in home decor, but I think this could really work with our new gray couch and all the plants and neutrals in the room. 

Favorite things3. Mandi’s upcycled leather sofa is SO great. I’m in love with this look. 4. We were a mess of “awees” and “OMGs” when we say Katie’s family portrait this month. A family portrait challenge is such a good idea! 

Favorite Things 5. This handstitched quilt will not get out of my head. I really want to make my first quilt this year. 6. Just because this room is pretty. I mean.. copper, books, plants, cowhide, vintage wood, painted wood, bricks, white. It’s SO good. I’m inspired.
