I Love This Rug!

I found a couple of rugs like this one on Etsy. They are out my price range but at some point I will have one.
A friend of mine has a small flock of sheep, and she said that I can come out when she shears them. I have done some reading on how these are made and it sounds like a process of cleaning the wool, soaking in warm water, and then stretching while it dries. How hard can it be?

craigslist find


St. Louis craigslist: First photo black vinyl couch $5o (love it, would look great reupholstered in a vintage nubby solid fabric)
Second photo, credenza $100 (maybe not the cheapest find, but still pretty cool)
* I decided if I listed and saved these photos as great finds, then I wouldn't be so compelled to purchase these things just to prove that great finds are out there.

Inspiration



I love the greens in both of these images. I love how close and personal the seating in the second image is, and I love the light floor in the first image

Kitchen inspiration

This photo was used to choose the color for my bottom kitchen cabinets. I chose to use a gloss paint and now I'm thinking I should have used eggshell. I just assumed That in a kitchen that gloss is the easiest to clean choice, but I do love how matte Jenna Lyon's cabinets look.
