My current leather sofa and love seat are going on eight years old.  They are soft, broken in, and oh so very comfortable. I've been on the lookout for something new for quite a few months now, and I've even come close on a couple different occasions to bringing something home.  The trouble is I tend to over think everything(often exasperating my husband). I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing, after all, if I'm going to have it another eight years I need to be sure right? So, I search on. I think I've had about 4 or 5 different rugs with this furniture, I kind of collect them. If you want to change the look of a room, but not spend a lot, a rug will do wonders.

 A favorite textile designer of mine is Madeline Weinrib. Her rugs make me drool a little. Her designs are outrageous pricey. I just like to dream and use them for inspiration. Here are a few of my favorite pieces from her collection.

I'll be doing an upcoming post on recliners.  The incessant debate with my husband of comfort vs. style goes on.  I continually state that stylish recliners don't exist.  Fortunately, I've come to the realization that there are some great options in recliner chairs now that are comfortable, stylish, and do a great job of concealing the fact that they are recliners. Yay!
