Hi Patricia, they were purchased from Linen N' Things more than five years ago. I'm not sure if that company is still in business or not!

where did you get your roller shades from?

Thanks so much Carly. That's exactly how I feel - that the room is so much cozier and tied together. :)

P.S. Still working on answering your last email. :)

Hi Mandy!!!

Thank you for your comments. :)

The picture behind the sofa was purchased from a local Home Decor store in our city. However, I was able to find the print at Art.com! It's called Barn and Field I by Dysart. Here is the link:

The sofa / loveseat / armchair are all the Extorp series from Ikea. Love them! (Although the cushions are made differently now than they used to be and are a lot squishier.)

The wood floors are original to the house built in the 40's and are birch. We got our upstairs floors refinished and they look amazing. The main floor still has to be done but we're putting it off because we don't want to move all of our furniture!!!

Very pretty! Do you mind if I ask you what couch (Ikea or Pottery Barn?) you have and what kind of wood floors are in your living room -- they both look great!

I want one so bad, maybe I'll ask for one for Christmas! Yours look wonderful and I would love to see pics of Cooper, wouldn't annoy me at all:)

2012-11-11T14:20:49.133-05:00

First of all, I totally get you. I wouldn't have wanted to unroll the rug until the room was ready either. In fact I did the exact same thing in my family room!
Secondly, I.love.every.single.picture.of.your.room!!!!! It is soooo beautiful!! I'm pinning it right now girly!

Your living room looks gorgeous - the rug really ties it all together. I love that picture behind your loveseat - could you tell me who it is by? Its beautiful.

Thanks Tonya! :)

2012-11-11T11:53:07.479-05:00

Oh Kelly,

How did you know? I actually had to sell my soul.

It is the most beautiful store of all time and I think I could just move in and live in their showrooms.

I probably should get a rug pad for underneath but so far it hasn't moved because each edge is under some type of furniture.

I've heard that jute rugs can scratch the finish on hardwood floors when you don't have a rug pad but our floors need to be refinished anyway so I just plopped it down as is!

I will for sure post some more pictures of Cooper but most of the time I restrain myself so that my readers don't get annoyed. :)

Aw, thanks Kristin!

2012-11-11T11:49:32.732-05:00

Oh poor Alex. We moved the t.v. and t.v. stand up into the stripey room that was pretty much empty except for a double bed and some end tables.

Everything is disconnected and all of the cables are in a tangled mess on the floor.

Surprisingly he isn't mad about it though! He's just been watching shows on his laptop instead. :)

Heather!!!

I just checked out the Heathered Chenille Jute Rug from Pottery Barn and that was one of the ones that I was looking at before I picked this one. The only reason why I chose this one instead of the PB one was that I got to see it in person first and shipping from the States is always a nightmare. The pattern looks really similar to the one I just got!

I think the rug is softer than you would think. Obviously it's not one of those plush rugs that you want to rub your face all over, BUT it's not scratchy/uncomfortable. I'm actually amazed at how we all want to sit/lay on it now!!

I think you should go for it. The only other thing that I would consider is that spills have to be spot cleaned. I don't plan on letting Coops eat / drink in the living room so I'm not too worried although I know at some point there will be accidents I'm sure.

Good luck convincing your hubs and you'll have to let me know if/when you do get one! :)

Which part of your body did you have to leave behind to buy the rug from Muskoka Living, LOL! Isn't that a beautiful store? Your living room looks so cozy. Did you need a rug pad for underneath? PS we need a Cooper picture overload soon! Love that adorable face!! Kelly

What a beautiful room. You do white like no other!...
