I have been definetly MIA lately and I am so sorry! We have two weeks before my due date and I am trying to get everything in order and ready for our baby girl! We are very excited (and a little nervous) about the big day!
We received the area rug for our baby girl Ava's room yesterday and it took me a while to decide on what type of rug we wanted to get. Our home has tile and hardwood floors, so we have many area rugs and they are all pretty neutral in color. We have a leather strip area rug in the living room, a seagrass rug in the kitchen and the rest are a beige with some subtle design. I just couldn't decided on an area rug for Ava's room, I didn't know if I wanted color to go with her pink, blue/gray & white theme room or something neutral that would go with the rest of the house and something we could reuse in a different room down the road. I decided on a round rug because I love the whimsical shape for a nursery and I nervously decided on a jute rug, I say nervously because I didn't know if this would be too rough on little feet, but I figured that when we lay her on the floor to play, we will put down a quilt anyway. So I began my search online and found a 6' round jute rug on Overstock.com at a great price and it had many great reviews. Although the reviews were from people using this rug in kitchens and dining rooms, no nurseries-which didn't surprise me, I was a little nervous, but after it arrived yesterday I found it was MUCH softer than I thought it would be! So here is Ava's finished room! (I still need to make a frame for the canvas above the bookcase)
Sorry, I had to include a picture of the two sock monkeys! I hope you have a great day!
