Rug burn.

March 22nd, 2010 by Catherine

Apartment hunting went really well this weekend and we’re thisclose to signing our lease, subletting the unit from a couple looking to move immediately. We’re waiting for a few documents to come through, and then we’ll be set to move! So now comes the fun part – decorating a blank slate.

After falling in love with this rug from West Elm, I immediately launched into an intensive search for something much more affordable. This one from Overstock.com is similar enough in design, and although it’s not the sunny yellow I was after, the blue is much more boy-friendly.

I adore its bold patterns and goes-with-anything palette, but the price is what truly sold me. At $126.99, it’s a total steal that’s going to break up our white carpet, hide a multitude of sins through a high-traffic area, and create a cozy focal point in our sweet little home.

Daily Diamond: West Elm Faceted Mirror Side Table

March 17th, 2010 by Catherine

This past weekend, my boyfriend and I braved the torrential rain and hurricane-force winds to apartment hunt. Our timing wasn’t the best, but we managed to successfully find a building we liked, and despite not having signed a formal lease yet, I’ve already begun mentally decorating the place. First was my new comforter. Now I’ve got my eye on this stunning side table from West Elm. The antique feel is precisely what I’m looking for in an accent piece for my imaginary living room, and while the price is a little steep, I’m willing to make the splurge on something that won’t go out of style in a heartbeat.

Now all we need to do is commit to a place so I can get decorating!
