Happy Friday everyone! Bring on the weekend!
So lately, I’ve been obsessed with patterned floors. It takes a bit of guts, but in the right space it can be just the right amount of excitement to make a room pop.
Here are 5 floors that I’m absolutely loving right now.
Swoon, right?!? Source for these all the floors above and more: My ‘Floors’ Pinterest board.

Happy Friday, Everyone!
I’m kicking off the weekend with the eternally chic trend of black and white stripes. Okay… so maybe it’s not a trend since it’s one of the most classic color-patern combos around, but the duo is definitely having moment. Oh, and I’m definitely a little obsessed.
To inspire you give the “trend” a try, here are some ultra chic options to get you started.

TGIF, right?!? Today’s post is once again in response to a question from one of my readers (who also happens to be a great friend ♥). She just moved into a new place and is looking for a chair for her home office. She’s ready for something fun with a pop of color or a pattern (or both), and something that can be moved into the living home for extra seating for guests. Both her office and living room have patterned rugs (one has an ikat pattern and the other is geometric), so I wanted to be sure not to pick anything that would compete too much with those patterns… oh, and the rooms have lots of grey in them.
With all that in mind, I started the search. I was definitely steering clear of the traditional, boring office chair with wheels, but I was still able to find lots of options. Here are some that are particularly fun and fabulous.

Shop: Blue – Gilt Group | Grey – West Elm | Red – Overstock | Purple – Safavieh/Overstock
Do you have a favorite? Fingers crossed that she’ll like one of them.

I’m now fully in nursery decorating mode… is this what they call nesting? We’ve gone with a muted gray on the walls and white furniture. Now it’s time to bring in a little bit of color! One of the key items on the list is a rug, and I’m thinking pink. Nothing too girly… something with personality and style that our daughter can grow into over time. Here are 5 rugs in contention. Would love to know what you think!
Painted Desert Rug – Lulu & Georgia
Missoni Home Tropicana Rug – One Kings Lane
Magic Carpet Rug – Land of Nod
Phoenix Dhurrie Rug – West Elm
Do you have a favorite?
