look for less - beni ourain rug

I've been on the hunt for another rug for our bedroom, and even though I have a similar style in our living room, I think I want another Beni Ourain style rug. This one from Pottery Barn caught my eye:

I love a good deal, so you can imagine me running across this similar style rug while shopping at Target. I was practically jumping for joy in the aisle. They only had a 5'x7' in the store, which wasn't large enough for our room, but luckily they carry larger sizes online that might work.
Threshold Criss Cross Fleece Rug - 7'x10' $250
You can also occasionally snag the Rugs USA Moroccan Shag Rug on sale for 75% off, but right now they are sold out in ivory. See how it looks in my living room here

instagram updates

 Last week was wonderful! I got to go to market and it was crazy fun. I didn't want to be a loser walking around taking pictures of all the gorgeousness, but I did sneak a pic of my favorite Scalamandre zebra wallpaper. I was totally nerding out seeing all of these fabrics and designs that I've only seen in magazines. We stopped at the Kravet, Brunschwig & Fils, Lee Jofa, Robert Allen/Beacon Hill, and Scalamandre showrooms. The best part was finding out how the whole trade process works, and getting a tour of some of the behind the scenes action that most people don't get to see. Taking this field trip definitely helped erase any doubts I had about going into this field. 
We live around so many fun attractions, and we haven't been very good about exploring them all, so Charlie and I decided to play tourist and take a little day trip to Ft. Worth. Here we are at the center of the water gardens.

We had planned to go rock climbing this weekend, but our plans have changed due some exciting news that I will be sharing on Monday!


perfect office space

When I saw this picture I couldn't believe it. It is exactly what I've been imagining for my office area. I really want a long desk that can accommodate our computer and still has space for me to set up my sewing machine. I've also had my eye on this exact drawer unit that I want to place in between the two areas.

Seriously, someone out there was reading my mind. After seeing this picture I'm even more determined to make this happen as soon as possible.
