Another Tweak in the Guest Room

It’s great to be a Kentuckian!!!  After the week-end we had, I don’t think I’ll ever leave home again.  The “Bluegrass State” in the springtime is one of the most beautiful places on earth.  We took total advantage of the weather this week-end, and I’m sort of exhausted.  We biked, walked, played with friends, ate out, went to a concert, went to some parties, went to the movies, and so much more.  I think after the tortuous winter, we all will appreciate the sun and warmth.

 

Last week I showed you the updating that I did in the guest room, but since then I did some tweaking.  Do you see what I changed?

 

Now, do you see it?

 

 

Yep!  I switched out the rugs.  The first rug had all the right colors.  However,when Jordan arrived last week, we looked it over and together we decided the quality just wasn’t there.  What you didn’t see in last Monday’s blog post is that I had not yet removed the tags from the rug because I just wasn’t sure if they were right.  Jordan just confirmed my thoughts.

 

So, I made a quick trip through Homegoods and spotted this design by Nicole Miller.  This pattern was available in green, navy, or red.  I went with the navy.  It’s one of my favorite colors, and the practical side of me said it had a year-round and not just summer look, and so, I could use it in the cool months, too.

 

I’m also going to switch out this upholstered  chair for an antique wicker rocker that I have.  But first, I plan to spiff it up with some bright green paint.

 

 

So, call me a happy camper.  The room has enough navy accessories in it to make the new rugs look right at home, and I can introduce one more color by painting the wicker chair.  It’s the one I rocked my babies in, and so it has a special place in my heart.    I’ll sure to show you the results when I get it finished.  Meanwhile, have a great week!  And if you need me, I’ll be in the courtyard today getting it ready for warm weather.

Take care.
