I feel like my house reflects me as a person, in that I clean up okay but I’m always lacking a bit of polish. I’ll get all dressed up for work and notice that my shoes need to be polished or that I have threads hanging off of my crappy old purse. My house is lacking in finishing details like window treatments and area rugs.
You know why? Those things are freaking expensive. It doesn’t help that I always fall in love with the expensive ones. But it makes me feel like I’m pretending as an adult to have bare floors. I may be 35 and own a house but nobody’s buying it because we don’t have a rug in the bedroom.
Though someone did call me “ma’am” the other day and I died a little inside.
Every year, like clockwork, my focus turns from gardening to the interior of the house. Right now I’m obsessed with rug hunting. We have two area rugs in the house, one in the living room:
And the shitty indoor/outdoor rug from my reveal, which now lives in the basement:
I found the perfect rug for our bedroom, for the low, low price of $1685 at Schoolhouse Electric. It’s soft, it’s not made of polypropylene, and it’s not a trendy style that I’ll hate in two years. It’s so pretty.

Come ON, that thing is sexy! And it would look great in our bedroom! (And maybe I’d throw one of those army blankets across the end of the bed. And now that I’m staring at this picture I want to swap out those nightstands. And the lamps. Hmm.) Someone help me convince Greg that we should buy this, should it ever go on sale.
Or maybe I’ll keep the heat off in the morning this winter and he’ll convince himself.
