House Updates – decorating!

New Rug!

Our old neighbors graciously let us use their rug at the rental house and at our new home – that’s almost ten months we had it! Time to give it back! We found a rug on rugsusa.com (thanks for the rec, snis! also, not sponsored, I bought it) that goes with our “inspiration look,” and it arrived on Friday! We love it! Someday, we’ll update the furniture, too (and change the look of the wood floors).

Medal racks in the office!

This is the moment I have been waiting for – putting my medal racks up! AHHH!!! So excited! Ha ha.

We couldn’t hang my medal racks and shadow box up until we replaced that joist in the basement, since it would affect the wall some of the stuff was hanging on. Then, after we replaced that joist, we had way more important house stuff to do. But we finally had a quiet weekend and got to hang a few things. YAY!!!! At the old house, my medal racks were in my closet. I love having them out in the open at the new house (note, I need to find something more organized for all that paper on the shelf – and overhaul the office, in general)!

Failed guest room headboard

Here’s where I’d share a picture of a headboard of our guest bedroom if we liked the one we bought, but the coloring was wrong. Back to Amazon it goes. The search continues!

    How fun to get to the decorating part! Love that new rug – I’ve heard good things about that site; one day I’ll be shopping there, too. Your office and the medal racks looks great! The t-rex “keep running” one is cracking me up.

      Thanks! They had a decent discount for Labor Day when I ordered! I just had to call them a week after I ordered to ask them if they were actually going to ship it 😉

      Thanks! A friend of mine got that for me – I kind of have thing for t-rex 😉

    Oooh I like the new rug! I especially like how well it color coordinates with Data 🙂

    I just finally hung stuff up in my office too – it’s nice to not stare at a blank wall all day!

    That rug looks great! Though Data seems skeptical 🙂 I also love that medal hanger with the dinosaur! I don’t think I’d seen that before.

    The medal racks look great 🙂 The office set up looks good! Seeing all the new and organization wants me to redo stuff lol I get overwhelmed doing things like though – I can never get to completion.
    Love the rug, glad Data approves.

    Those two additions look great! Also, you have a ton of medals–the racks make the room look so colorful!
