Leave it to me to get a new living room rug just after I show…
A Risky Rug
Sometimes I’m a last minute kind of girl, like right now. I saw this amazing blog party topic this morning so I’m derailing all my plans to write about a rug. Yes, a rug.  Bold right? Exciting? For sure. I had to be involved and I have just the topic.
The other week I started thinking about decorating my office. It needs a lot of assistance in the accessory department and the style department. In lots of departments.
Once I started rug shopping I saw one I couldn’t stop thinking about. I couldn’t stop thinking about it because it was NOT at all something I’d normally pick out for my home. Risky? I think so.
Remember it from the Furniture Face Lift? You smarties guess what was new in the room right off the bat. I see how it goes, you’re not looking at my project that took me months to finish {OK not really}, you’re staring at my shiny new rug, uhhmmhh 🙂
Well the secret is out. I bought a zebra rug.
Zebra can be risky in general but something about 2011 has me taking some chances with color, pattern, even my clothes. I’m bringing more pizazz into my life and I love it!
It turns out when you do take a risk, there is sometimes little to lose and so much to gain.
I LOVE that rug Jessica!! I consider the rug I just bought “risky” too, but haven’t posted about it yet. Maybe it’s risky to post it? ha!
I love that rug! I have a zebra rug in my bedroom and absoluetly LOVE it! It’s makes me smile everytime I see it 🙂
You wild thing! Love, love, love that rug!
What a fun rug – it definitely adds some excitement to that space. Congrats on such a great risk!
Great risk- I love zebra! I have an accent pillow in zebra. A perfect ‘neutral’ way to have some fun. I am now following your blog 🙂

I love, love, love the rug! Worth the risk for sure!! 🙂
I love it!!! The perfect amount of pizzaz!
I love this! Just wondering where you happened to find it? I just painted our office and am now looking to finish putting it all together. Thanks! 🙂
