Last month I ran into a reader who mentioned that she wished I talked more about my home. She said I used to update you all on my findings and that was one of her favorite parts. Since she was so open and honest about what she liked, I thought I could be more open and honest about my home, interiors, and its daily struggles. I hope this is a refreshing break from my daily fashion posts. Shoutout to Kim. P! Thanks for letting me know what you like to read on M.A.S.
I have been on a serious effort to finish my house. I think it is because I work from home and I see it every day, that it drives me crazy it isn’t finished yet. I am usually super obsessive and won’t stop until something is finished. But with my home I have tried to take it day by day becuase I know it is something that takes time. Well, I am over that! I want it finished now. Every week there is a new task or decorating need. Last week, it was rugs. Oh, rugs! I went on a serious rug binge. I mean, I searched and searched for the perfect rug at the perfect price. I had finally found my perfect rug at West Elm, but then, I saw the price. YUCK! For the size I needed I would be paying close to $1K and that just wasn’t an option. Well my friends, where there is a will there is a way. Since I knew what I wanted, finding a similar should be easy. And it was! I picked up this shag Marrakesh rug (almost identical), you see above for my living room (50% off) at rugsusa last week- side note, all rugs are now 60% off! My goal was to make the living room feel a little cozier, so this shag was a little bit of an upgrade from the hide rug I showed you last year.
The biggest problem I am having with decorating my house is that all of the furniture belonged to the hubs before we got married. It is really nice furniture from places like, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams and Design Within Reach, so getting rid of it is a bit hard. The issue- it isn’t really my style. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good modern piece, but we definitely need some patterns and “warmth” to the home. I have also been trying really hard to lighten up the house as it is pretty masculine right now. But all of this fighting with what I have is getting exhausting so I am ready to give into the dark and buy this Ziya rug for the entryway. Thoughts?!
My mission continues to finish the house. This week, the mission is art! I already scored this amazing piece for one of our guest bedrooms for 30% off! If you need any art be sure to check out art.com! Their sale ends today and how could you pass up 30% off framed art?! Lastly, before I leave you I wanted to share this amazing article I stumbled upon with 43 of the best home furnishings website. It helped a lot in my search. Each site is so different and offers such unique pieces. I hope it helps in your search!
