Cozy up with a fabulous rug

There are a few things that I tend to always look at when shopping for home goods.  Lamps, pillows, and rugs.  I don't know why, but these three things always catch my attention.  There's nothing like a beautiful lamp, or shade, and pillows can add that color and texture needed, and rugs can totally transform a room.

While recently browsing some of my favorite online shops, I have come across some beautiful, and inexpensive rugs that I would love to add to my home.  If only I had more rooms!  And let's be real...money!

This gorgeous collection of rugs is from Garnet Hill.  I would love to get my hands on the navy or coral Ikat, any one of the flat cotton weaves, or the aqua chevron!  I have ordered rugs from Garnet Hill before and they do no disappoint.

This next rug from Urban Outfitters is going to be making it's way to my living room one day.  A girl can dream, right?  And at only $199 for an 8x10 this is a steal!


I recently purchased a UO rug for our master bedroom and absolutely love it!  The quality is great for such a cheap price.


Urban Outfitters has several other great finds, all great accents to add splashes of color to your decor.


Would you believe the rug below is from Walmart?!  And only $35 for a 5x7?!  I haven't seen it in person, so I don't know the quality, but what a price for a fun pattern!  And it comes in pink and teal.


Last on my list of favorites are these Homespun Trellis rugs from Rugs USA.  A huge selection of colors are available and just over $300 for an 8x10 area rug.


These are my current top picks, what's your favorite?  Follow me along on Pinterest to see more fab finds!

Opinions, Please!

Okay, so my "red room" is constantly a work in progress.  It's one of my favorite rooms in the house-though it's only a guest room!  It's just so light and airy.  It's on the front of the house so the best light comes through those windows at all times of the day. 

It's constantly a work in progress because I am always looking for that perfect balance of red, aqua and crisp white.  I'm very particular about the reds matching in there perfectly, and for the most part they do. 



See the plain, boring lamp to the right of the bed?  It's actually from PB Teen.  I searched and searched for the perfect lamp to complement the one on the left side-and never found it!  I settled for this one which I'm not in love with, but it does the trick.  It's shorter than I thought it would be so I had to give it some height by sitting it on top of a metal container. 

Anyway, I have been putting off covering the shade in fabric because I'm not quite sure what print I want to put on it.  One thing I know-it NEEDS a print.  I would love your opinions!

I have considered using the red background with white polka dot I used on the euro shams, only because I have a bit of it left over. 

Here are some other options:

The white background is nice because it keeps the look of the shade light.








It's hard to tell on my computer monitor which red would work, so I will most likely need to order memo samples of whatever the final pick is-but I would love your input!  Tell me which one you like the best, pleeeease!  I know which one I'm leaning towards, but would really enjoy hearing what you think!
