A Little Fluff

There are some areas (okay, there are MANY areas) of our home that needs a little fluff (Fluff is after local design firm in Omaha, Fluff Your Stuff, who is just amazing). After 2 1/2 years, I am finally getting motivated to get some of that fluff taken care of.

For starters, I have been using a carpet remnant as a rug by our garage door. Yes, that is what I have used for 2 1/2 years. I have looked, but I could not find something I liked.

Low and behold, I found this one at Kohls! Who knew! Guess I have to look outside my normal box for these kinds of things.

I like how the rug brings in the colors of the tile, the wall and the kitchen. I am content.

Next, I wanted a rug for in front of the sliding glass door to the backyard. I found this one at JCPenney (again, looking outside the box), and I just love it. I really pulls in the colors of the floor, the kitchen, the backsplash and the nearby walls of the family room. Love.

I love the modern feel of this one. Oh, and look at that green grass, in March! That is crazy! It is so nice to see colors, in and now out.

If only I could say I was done. Is your home ever really done?

Before & After: Our Exterior Trim

After

Between a birthday party and the kids acting, well, like kids, Chris and I managed to paint the green trim on our home. Yes, the trim was green. Why green? Well, after painting it what is supposed to be tan, we are not sure we like it. The "tan" color jumps off the house more than we wanted. But, to paint all of those peaks was an undertaking that we do not want to repeat...at least until next summer. For now, our exterior house trim matches the fence. And, my husband continues to amaze me with his energy and talent!
