moving time = Laura's crazy comes out

kristy and i are moving in 2 weeks (squeal!) and we've got to start planning our home decor. so, of course my little brain has been churning with ideas on how to arrange our new CONDO. in the living area, the large wall is beautiful exposed red brick and the floors are wood. so to give my roommate a glimpse into what my vision is for this room, i made this little inspiration board. tell me what you think:
we've already got a couch and a love seat (both black - grr, but we'll make do). i have big plans to paint a few things yellow, recover a couple wing-backed chairs and throw pillows in new fabrics and purchase a sweet accent rug. but rugs are frickin expensive. anyone have any ideas?

anthropologie has some LOVELY ones (click it to see), but i'd rather not spend the equivalent of one month's rent on a rug (insert irritated foot-stomp). perhaps if everything else i use is DIY...

not many people i know LOVE moving. especially not as much as i do...after moving 7 times in the last 5 years.

on a more personal note...there is nothing new to report with me. my daddy is doing great, he had his first cardiac rehab appointment yesterday. he said it was him + a ton of oldies headed straight for the grave...he felt bad. he hopped on that treadmill and cranked it up and all the nurses were literally in shock. he's an iron man. i'm not lying.

i'm excited to go to austin for the 3rd week in a row on friday! hook 'em horns. revenge is ours.

next post will be dedicated to dani & ava's SHOWER of love! it was SO beautiful :)

love/miss/namaste.

If you have a Cost Plus World Market in Dallas, that is where we got a bunch of our decor. They have great statement rugs as well. We have one in your exact color palette! Happy hunting.

This is the rug we have. The blue in the rug is actually turquoise.
