Project Office: Rug Update

Let’s back up for a minute here.  We haven’t talked much about this office space of ours because frankly, not a whole lot has happened to it since we moved in.  We already had the desks and I had my filing cabinet and completed the chair re-do,  but other than that are the beginnings of a somewhat gallery wall and some random floating shelving we put in to add interest to a large wall.
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect rug for a LONG time.  My initial instinct was something blue like this Urban Outfitters number, but with the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom all hosting shades of blue, J said no go.  (I’m starting to realize the apartment is a tad fifty shades of blue… not sorry about it).
Then we decided to look for a vintage persian.  I found the perfect one on Etsy for a mere $145 and when I was ready to pull the trigger… it was GONE!  Don’t you hate it when that happens?  Such a stomach-sinking feeling.  I (tried) to convince myself it just wasn’t meant to be. 
Well lo and behold I began searching RugsUSA and saw that they had a 50% sale going.  Which means this beni-style rug at 4×6 was only $70.  You read that right…70 buckaroos, shipping and all. 
I pulled the trigger. 
And while it doesn’t add the color to the room that we wanted, I know it’s a rug that I’ll keep around forever and ever and always find a place for. Next up we need a cute little bench for J’s meetings and for guests to sit. 
xoxo,
