VINTAGE RUG ROUNDUP
It’s about time for another Etsy vintage rug roundup! Vintage rugs tend to be an odd size, so I always like to layer a jute rug underneath if it’s going in a larger living space. Shop a few of my recent favorites in all shapes & color ways below!
LATELY
I am loving how interiors are starting to lean more and more traditional. The warmer whites, cozier spaces with emphasis on details and layered pattern & color is bringing me a fresh wave of inspiration. My creative gears are always turning but lately I’m prone to falling in to ruts. I get big ideas and then talk myself back down: “it’s too much work”, “you don’t need to paint that room… again”, “it’s pretty enough the way it is” — but the truth is that when I go for the big ideas those always turn out to be the best decisions! Even though to the outsider it may look indecisive, or as though I can’t find contentment in what I have, it really is just feeding my appetite to create beautiful spaces. To have that initial “Ooh, I wonder what this would look like?!” thought and see it through to completion is incredibly rewarding!
This kitchen by Meredith Rodday (@viewfrommyheels) is giving me loads of inspiration and all kind of ideas for our own home. Stay tuned!
We went for four chairs in the front room and I’m loving it! I think it sets the space a part from the tv den as a more conversational space and a fun arrangement that you don’t see as often in homes. So if you’ve been on the hunt for the prettiest accent chair, all colors are still in stock — run, don’t walk!
This week I took a walk around our neighborhood and shared a few homes that are long-time favorites of mine. I decided to make it a weekly thing and start sharing my favorites with the hashtag #hometheologyhomecrush. Join me and share your favorite homes in your neighborhood, too!
Our back patio umbrella needed replaced, so I ordered two on a whim from a new website – one for the dining space and one for the lounge space. I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived and highly recommend if you’re in the market for an umbrella yourself!
Until next week —
