I’m going to pitch a new show for ABC. It’s called Rug Swap. And here’s the pilot.
I told you last week that my living room was feeling a bit too brown. So in a bit of impulse decorating, I swapped out the rugs between the living room and family room. It just so happened that they were exactly the same dimensions (though I didn’t know that when inspiration struck).
The “new” living room rug certainly breaks up the sea of brown. And I love how it ties in the wall color. Both rugs look better in their new homes, for sure. I’m not sure why we didn’t do this a long time ago.
p.s. Here’s the leafy rug in its new home in the family room.
This room is a mess in more ways than one. Don’t look at the couch! Seriously, don’t look! It’s embarrassingly disheveled. We’re planning on replacing it soonish.
p.p.s. Here’s a reminder of what the floral rug looked like in the family room.
What is in front of the fireplace?
Hi Nicole, it’s my homemade baby deterrent. Basically, it’s just a piece of fabric stretched like a canvas to keep Elise out of the fireplace. She doesn’t bother it because it’s always been there. I’d like to put it away, but I think it’s too soon.
