West Elm has featured my old bedroom with its’ Organic Ironwork Duvet cover… I really, really loved that light-filled space. I’m also going to get the Christmas Tree out (after weeks of begging Doug to let me put it up, now that Thanksgiving’s over, I can!) and decorate the apartment for Christmas.Īnd also: This morning I was featured twice! How’s that for starting Monday off on the right foot? This week I’m planning a cool DIY sofa table post for Wednesday (a “fake it till you make it” solution, if you will) and a pretty inspiration board for Friday. I can’t wait for it to become staple in my home’s “look” in different rooms and with different pieces of furniture as time goes by.Īfter a fantastic Thanksgiving break at my parents’ house (and a not-so-stellar three days of retail work), I am feeling energized and ready to take on the week. I love, love, looooove how it looks with our vintage coffee table. I love the way it covers up the boring apartment-brown carpet. I like that wool is natural and that I don’t have to worry about weird plastic VOCs in my living area. It has replaced our flat-weave cotton Zebra rug (which was constantly rolling up, getting lumpy, etc) in the living area. I’ll save you the math, that is a fifth of the price! 80% off is music to my ears! Especially when I wouldn’t have had it in me to buy one at full price, ever. Since they had it out on the ground for a little while (one of the associates implied it had been a week or less), it was marked down with the rest of the display rugs at $99. Because of this, the Kasbah and the Souk rugs have been a couple favorites from West Elm for a while now, and this score was too good to pass up! I may or may not have logged some time laying on it and whispering “my preciousss…” You may know Morocco has a special place in my heart since it’s where I did my 6-week study abroad program in 2009. A wooly mammoth, a 5×8 shaggy Moroccan-inspired (India-made) Kasbah rug. And not some skinny little flat-weave rug, either. With minor convincing/begging, a new member of the family came home with us.įor only $99 I made it home with a rug. A HUGE pile or rugs they had been using in-store to anchor their show “rooms.” Well, yes, I will say they had a great bargain in the clearance section. I was thinking of desktop organization or a good deal on some kitchen stuff (typical… the obsession with kitchen stuff continues). We were headed over to North Park, one of our favorite neighborhoods, to meet some friends but first I wanted to stop by West Elm to see if they had anything good in their clearance section.
