What I Heart Today: Rug Resources

I was chatting with a mom friend of mine last week about where to find great rugs when you have no free time to do it. I shared some really great online resources that I thought you might also enjoy. Here's where I look when I'm rug shopping.

Shades of Light (I just ordered this rug from them)

These are just a few of my go to resources, and a few of my favorite picks. Are you trying to source a rug you've seen online? I'd be happy to help, email me (whatiheart@gmail.com) and I just might know where you can find it.

What I Heart Today: Living Room Update

It's official, my living room update has begun. But before I share my first update with you I wanted to share my living room before pictures with you (bear with me there's quite a few pics). Keep in mind one of the challenges in decorating is often times having to work with some of what you already have. For instance the couch and two chairs are staying whether I like it or not. The media console is definitely up for replacement.

Just bought the "LOVE" print from Made By Girl

Well that's my living room in all it's mis-matched glory. Time to put the design smack down on it! I bring to you my first update, which I literally spent hours trying to decide on, two new pillows!

I think they look great. I also ordered this rug but unfortunately it's on backorder until 11/31!

Now to tackle two more pillows, window treatments, media console styling, a desk in place of our "bar," and something on the wall with the flat screen TV. And all before baby is born in January. I have my work cut out for me.

What I Heart Today: More Shopping Finds

Just wanted to share a few more things I picked up yesterday on my shopping trip.

This is one of my favorite finds yesterday, great Dwell Studio pillow from Goodwill (don't worry I washed it as soon as I got it home).

I also forgot all about the halloween decor I picked up at Pier 1. Aren't these spider webs cute? They're placemats that I got for $2.95 each but I hung them on my door.

I also picked up this cute little pumpkin (still working on the console vignette).

That's all my treasures from my shopping trip!

What I Heart Today: Successful Shopping Trip!

I did some fun shopping today without my little one in tow (which makes it that much more fun!). It was a pretty successful trip so I thought I'd share a few of my finds with you.

I just ordered these pillows off of etsy from KimoleyDeco:

and when I was at Joanne's today I found 18x18 pillow inserts on sale for 50% off, $12.49 each which I think is a total score.

While I was at Joanne's I browsed the home dec fabrics and found two really great prints in consideration of my daughter's big girl room:

The first fabric reminds me of something you'd see by Jonathan Adler, whom I absolutely love! The second fabric has me thinking about this great DIY headboard tutorial from Danielle Oakey Interiors:
