Feeling Thankful
It feels like the holiday hustle and bustle starts earlier each year, doesn’t it? Ornaments in checkout lanes in August. Full-fledged holiday mayhem at the big box stores by early-October.

Ah, the age old question: what size rug do I need for my bedroom/dining room/living room/kitchen/etc.?We know that this can be a pickle. Too big or too small both have the potential to feel unbalanced. Below, we’ve provided some illustrations for common rug arrangements found in different types of rooms. What works in a family…
Read MoreExploring Rug Materials
If you keep up with the blog, you may have seen our post earlier this week where the design team took on questions from our Instagram followers. One question revolved around selection process, and what comes first…paint? Furnishings? There is no one-size-fits-all answer, but for us, the rug is often number one. Why? Well, first…
