I have a Pinterest board filled with colorful rugs in an assortment of beautiful designs.
But in the end, this 6' x 6' neutral rug won out over all of them.
I plan to do a gallery wall above the bookcases with the theme being
vintage religious/Catholic decor.
vintage religious/Catholic decor.
Gallery walls can tend to be busy (and I have a lot to hang)...
... so I didn't want the rug to compete with the artwork on the wall.
It was a tough decision though. There are so many gorgeous rugs out there! To help me decide which rug would look best, I lined up a sampling of the art I'll be hanging in the office and then, one by one, I enlarged my favorite rugs on the computer screen.
(rug color change due to photos taken at night)
I stood back and looked at both the artwork and the rugs at the same time, and that really helped me decide that a neutral rug would definitely work best for what I have in mind. I really liked the simplicity of this one so I ordered it online and had it in less than a week.
A lot of the vintage Catholic pieces I'll be hanging are Polish, like the one above and the two Communion pieces from the grouping of five pieces of art in one of the first photos. My dad was Polish and attended Mass every morning. They remind me so much of him.
And as you can see, Miss Baby immediately made herself right at home on the new rug. A little too much so, as you'll see in these short video clips!
Baby just had to "help us" with rolling out the rug!
I hope the novelty wears off very soon!
I'm joining Brenda at Cozy Little House for Tweak It Tuesday ,
and Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Friday.
Have a great week, everyone!
