IT WASN'T THE ONE (ANOTHER NEW RUG)

I will have to eat my words from exactly one year ago today, 

when I declared to all the world that I had found  "THE" rug for my foyer.  

This rug, to be exact.....

Unfortunately, it turned out to be "THE TEMPORARY" rug for just about a year. 

I loved the colors and the size was perfect, but the quality was not that great.

Our foyer gets a ton of traffic and my kid spill things A LOT!

The good news is that my sweet little puppy chewed a hole in the carpet in our playroom.

Oh wait, that was not good news.  I was not happy about that all!

However, because of the new hole in the carpet (well two holes if you want to get technical),

I had a place to put the multi-colored chevron rug.

You're following me, right? 

 I put the rug upstairs in the playroom, to cover up the holes in the carpet.

Which leads to the even better news, a new rug now resides in the foyer. 

This rug, to be exact.....

I ordered it from this ebay seller. 

I know it's always a little risky buying something like a rug without seeing or touching it, 

but I'm so glad I took a chance and ordered this one.

With a new rug, came a new color for the front door.

I used Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue.  

Our door was painted a deep red color

and I was never truly in love with it. 

The brick on our house is a deep red/orangey color and 

the door blended it, but I wanted it to stand out.

It stands out now!

Now that I'm in the changing mood, I've got my eye on that powder room.

Stay tuned.......
