another painted floor

another beautiful painted floor. I absolutely love the yellow. she used foam core to make a stencil and glossy porch paint. I really would love to stencil our concrete patio.

we just got our new rug from cb2 today for the bedroom! it looks soooo good! I also moved this beautiful antique desk into our bedroom. why didn't I think of it before?! it looks great there, and the desk was just sitting in the garage!

I haven't rearranged any of the artwork yet, but I am very excited to add more art and pretty things to this room! all of a sudden it is so much more homey and inviting!

you can also see in the bathroom we hung up a little teak shelf. we also have a teak bathmat to match outside our shower. it all looks really fantastic, and I need to get some nice pictures of it soon. I was really not happy with either of these rooms before, and they are really starting to look good now.

new bedroom rug

I just ordered this 8x10 wool rug from cb2 on sale. I've been admiring it for some time and now the price was just too good to resist. I think it is going to look fantastic with the grey walls and walnut furniture in our bedroom! I'm glad I waited on buying a rug for this room. this worked out perfectly!

of course, I'll take a bunch of pictures when it arrives. I'm so excited!
