“The One” Area Rugs

Why is it that when you are looking for something, it mysteriously eludes you?

I thought it would be fun to start a recurring blog entry that involved the search for the elusive design element that will essentially pull a room together.  It seemed fitting to base it on our long-standing quest for a mate!

Here are some great links to fabulous, eye-catching rugs!

This one is from a wonderful store in downtown St. Louis, called Atom!

They have lots more floral inspired mod rugs to choose from online!

Here is a great choice from Pottery Barn.  Neutral, nice scale, would go with almost any style!

WS Home has the zebra rug market cornered!

This is available in both black & chocolate & would complete almost any room!

Keep checking back for more additions to “the one” series!

I’d love to hear what design pieces you are trying to locate!

Happy Spring!

Spring is probably my favorite time of year. Daffodils, my favorite flower, bloom before any of the other perennials and always signals the start of the season to me!oasis

So, I have been working on patio options for clients and for myself. (I’m always searching for things I will buy when I eventually have a house and a millionaire husband!)

Here are some great new things I think you should check out!

I’m very excited about this new outdoor furniture line, Polywood! It is made from recycled milk cartons and seems almost indestructible! Check it out at: www.polywoodinc.com.

Everyone is gearing up for cocktails on the patio! This is the best time of year to find super cute plates, plastic stemware, etc for a picnic. I personally love using outdoor drinkware for every day indoors because it is so durable! Check out the super cute outdoor accessories at Pottery Barn! There are lots of things to explore in the store as well! www.potterybarn.com

Also, if you have kids and you want to prevent cute sofa pillows from getting ruined, outdoor pillows are a fun alternative! Since they are naturally good at repelling water it solves the spilled milk problem! Check out the outdoor pillows at West Elm! They look too nice to be left outside! www.westelm.com

Dust off the umbrellas, tackle the weeds and get ready to relax outside!
