FAMILY ROOM (AND RUG) REVEAL

Happy Weekend all! Under the "Our Home" link on the left sidebar, we have very outdated photos of our home and I thought I'd give you an update of at least one of those rooms!  It is always a work in progress but w e purchased a beautiful new and super inexpensive rug from Overstock and are absolutely loving it!   It is a shag rug which I wouldn't have normally gone for but I like the ivory and grey contemporary patt ern and I like that it is super thick and super soft!  It looks to be very durable and I think will last a long time!  The coloring is even better than shown in the photos below, and the pile of the rug is high and low.  When I was reading the reviews, most people had nothing but good things to say.  However, there was a discrepancy about sizing.  Under Product Details, the rug size stated 5x8.  Under dimensions it stated 8x10.  When you go to order online, you can only select 5'3"x7'6".  The latter is the true size ...

DIY TISSUE COVERED LUMINARIES

May I present to you a semi-failed DIY project that I am embarrassed to show you and that may or may not be kept in our home!  Ha!  How's that for an introduction!?!   I credit my impatience for the failure.  Check out the link and tutorial for these beautiful luminaries here .  Rhi over at Hey Gorgeous Events did such a great job, taking her time and lining everything up.  Towards the end I rushed it ( compare the top vs the bottom of the vase ) .  Well, you can see for yourself .   Happy crafting!!
