Living Room Big Purchase Clues

Thursday, August 9, 2012


I mentioned a few days ago that we got a woot! woot! big purchase on our road trip. It's been something our living room has been desperately needing for a loooooong time.

All of the following photos were pinned to my Living Room folder on Pinterest. Can you figure out what they all have in common? (Besides white furniture 'cause we already have some.)

I can't hold it in any longer. We finally got a huge, 9x12 rug for our living room!!!!!

It's jute. It's fully reversible. It's huge. It's magnificent.

It was quite the splurge but I'm in all kinds of love so it's okay. How's that for logic?

We have the rug folded up in the middle of the living room and the dogs have been lying on it for a solid day straight. I think they're gonna like it. But if they wreck it they're in big trouble.


If you remember in a previous post I wrote about our awkward living room layout. The room is so long and skinny and the furniture so spaced out that we needed a large rug to bring everything together. Fingers crossed it's going to work!


Our living room is in a bit of disarray since our ginormous t.v. and t.v. stand are still in there (basement reno still in progress). I think I'm going to wait to put the rug down until we can get the extra furniture out of there.

This is just the kick-start I need to finish this room off. Yay!

P.S. Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful comments on my last post about my hailstorm-destroyed garden. Even though it is really frustrating I am thankful that no-one was hurt and that plants were the only thing damaged in the storm.

P.S.S. Can someone tell Mother Nature to simmer down a bit?

P.S.S.S. WE HAVE A RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG!

    1. Hey there!

      I made that living room layout quite awhile ago and just used one of those free programs that you can find online. I have no idea what it was called or how I found it!

      :S

      Sorry about that!!!

    1. Hey Dena!!!

      I am working on a question / answer post that I will be publishing within the next week that is going to go into lots of detail about having white couches, how I clean them, if I still like them, etc. etc. etc. So come on back and hopefully I'll answer all of your questions then.

      :)
