it really ties the room together

A new rug for the living room!
We got FLOR tiles last year.  I liked planning a totally unique rug, but I was very disappointed to find out that the tile style & colors we ordered were discontinued six months later.  I was ready to buy more FLOR tiles to expand out rug, but that was no longer a possibility.   RugsUSA.com to the rescue!  We  got our black & white chevron kitchen rug there for a good deal, so I began looking again.  My friend Sabrina has had good luck there as well. I came across this puppy at 50% off, so why not go big?  Now I can't wait to see the Gunlocke chairs in the living room.

oh, hello

Well.  2013 was off to a rough start.  I am happy to report that things are looking up for March.  I have not had much time (or desire) for projects lately, so my spring to do list is still a to do list.

I repainted the upstairs bathroom and it looks great!  The hexagon wall is going to take much longer.  The unopened gallon of paint I had leftover did not match what I originally used.  So instead of just touching up a few spots, I have to redo the entire wall.  By hand.  Which is slow.  

Over the weekend, I played outside in Durham and helped these guys take some pictures:




They are launching their new website soon.  If you know of any brides-to-be in NC, let them know!  

We have a lot of family time planned for March.  In April, I will hit a pretty cool milestone, and David has an interesting side project event.  Here's hoping things keep moving on & up for spring!
