A Little Fluff

There are some areas (okay, there are MANY areas) of our home that needs a little fluff (Fluff is after local design firm in Omaha, Fluff Your Stuff, who is just amazing). After 2 1/2 years, I am finally getting motivated to get some of that fluff taken care of.

For starters, I have been using a carpet remnant as a rug by our garage door. Yes, that is what I have used for 2 1/2 years. I have looked, but I could not find something I liked.

Low and behold, I found this one at Kohls! Who knew! Guess I have to look outside my normal box for these kinds of things.
I like how the rug brings in the colors of the tile, the wall and the kitchen. I am content.

Next, I wanted a rug for in front of the sliding glass door to the backyard. I found this one at JCPenney (again, looking outside the box), and I just love it. I really pulls in the colors of the floor, the kitchen, the backsplash and the nearby walls of the family room. Love.
I love the modern feel of this one. Oh, and look at that green grass, in March! That is crazy! It is so nice to see colors, in and now out.

If only I could say I was done. Is your home ever really done?

We Have Shade!


We Have Shade!

Last year when we ate on our patio, we cooked. Yes, we cooked food, but we also physically cooked as we sat there sweating it out in the hot summer sun. So, we ordered sun shades.

This week in the 70 degree March weather, Chris installed them.

They look amazing, providing some relief from the sun, as well as a little privacy.

Thank you Sams Club. We love them!
