Living room gets a rug--finally

After waiting over 2 months, my rug is finally here.

The Before Shot--without rug

The After Shot--the great reveal

I'm working on adding a little color into this monotone room: see lemons and the bits of yellow. hoping to get some bright pillows. the one on the couch is temporary, I think.

I went looking for a bright yellow vase but failed. Instead, I made do with a vase and filled it with lemons.

I also took some pictures of the house in its "lived-in" state.

And finally our upstairs guest room. I spent an afternoon hemming my king quilt to a full...by hand.
