There's something about the change of season that makes me slow down, wear cardigans and eat soup.  It's written in my DNA. 

With cooler temperatures coming, we're all going to be spending more time indoors, so why not make our spaces AWESOME (on a budget)? I am not in the market for a rug right now but I like to keep my eye out for what's new and cool in the rug world.

All the options listed here are from Target and Rugs USA.  I like ordering rugs from Target because I know they're easily returnable and Rugs USA because of the free shipping and super promotions that they have (sometimes 80% off!).  I've ordered two rugs from them and have been very pleased with the quality.

You're welcome.

Since I've been thinking about pillows so much the past couple weeks, I feel like I should share the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated.  You know why?  Because you guys are nice.

Here's some affordable options to add a bit of ethnic vibe to your space.

I put together a couple different looks just for fun.

Spring may have arrived in Wisconsin at last.  Forget the groundhog: once you see me outside sanding or painting something, you will know spring is here.

I decided to ring in spring by buying some succulents (hard to kill!) from Home Depot.  I love the texture and shape of these little guys.  I put a grouping inside a pot from Goodwill that I spray painted and I noticed the colors of the plants just so happen to pick up the colors in the photo next to it.
