A little word of warning - I read a few reviews on the rug before buying it that mentioned that after a few months there were jute-patterned scratches in the wood floors despite having a rug pad/liner down underneath. I'm guessing a better quality rug pad would probably prevent this, but I would hate to see anything happen to your beautiful floors! :)Karinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-42044781232976320032012-01-03T12:49:28.846-06:002012-01-03T12:49:28.846-06:00@rachel,

I worked on...My life is full of design epic fails. I worked on a 100 year old house and so failure was a natural part of the equation. But my first house, my first decorating attempts were epic. I hired a decorator, but the choices were ultimately my own. We went art deco and the rest of the house looked fabulous, but the master bath was horrendous. I chose a pop-ish wallpaper, black with mauve and grey dots all over it in the typical art deco style. I papered everything...walls, switch plates, soffit. By the time I was done, it looked like some sort of neon hippie wonder-cave. It was dark, gloomy, dizzying in its wallpaper nausea. I had to rip it all down, repair the wallboard, and paint the whole thing. I didn't touch wallpaper again for another 20 years. Why on Earth didn't my decorator stop me????

I have one and I'm struggling. I really appreciate that you shared your dillema and even pics of your messy room. I can't imagine that people would stop following your blog because your kids are being kids. I would be worried if your kids were never allowed to make a mess because you have a blog. I recently tried to DIY wrapping paper Christmas tree cones using another bloggers description.
