I Love a Bold Rug!

Last week I came across this home tour on The Design Files and I can’t get it out of my head.
I love how bold and colorful it is yet still feeling simple and clean.
it’s perfect really.

Let’s talk about that rug should we?
I neeeeeed it in my life. The blue color is killer and the graphic pattern is so unique.
Now if only It was in my budget.
I did find this Broadway rug by Fab Habitat that could work in creating this look.
I love the blue. A 6 x 9 for $249.00 isn’t too bad either.
So what do you think? 
Do you love this room like I do? Or do you think the rug is too much?

New Products I am Lovin!

Now that I am completely moved in and we are feeling settled, I am back to working every night.
I love being back at it and seeing all the new products that I missed previewing while moving.
My favorites are…
1. This Key Wool Dhurrie from West Elm.
The color, pattern, and scale are all perfect. I expect I will be using it often in designs in the future.
2. This Color Study Wall Art in Corals from West Elm. It’s the perfect large-scale gallery wall piece.
3. These Faux Gold Deer Antlers from Z Gallerie.
I am always on the hunt for good accessories, I guarantee I will use this pretty little guy over and over again.
4. This Magical Thinking Rattan Coffee Table at Urban Outfitters.
I love unique pieces, especially ones that are affordable! This coffee table is currently on pre-order…I am in love.
5. These Alexandria Twist Baskets from World Market.
Great for storage and cute too! It would also be an easy DIY project to add a little color to these beauties.
I can’t wait to use a few of these products in designs I am working on.
Love, love, love.

Sonnet James on Kickstarter!

A while back I introduced you to Sonnet James, Play Dresses for Playful Moms!
Whitney, the designer and creator of Sonnet James, is a close friend of mine.
We endured the long hours of interior design school together and spent endless hours in the design lab working on sketches, floor plans, models, design boards and loving almost every minute of it.
Whitney is amazing. If she has a dream, she goes after it.
In the last year she has dedicated herself to her dresses. 
Her success has been amazing and her dresses are very loved already.
Last night she launched Sonnet James on Kickstarter.
Take a peek for yourself…
Oh how I love seeing a mom go after their dreams.
Now head on over to Sonnet James on Kickstarter, back this project, and snag yourself a Sonnet James dress!
