Fall into the Holidays ~ Kitchen

Welcome to FALL INTO THE HOLIDAYS, a four week series where we'll be sharing

 ideas for sprucing up our homes before the holiday season kicks into high gear.

 Our lovely hostess Lisa @ Shine Your Light came up with the idea by asking friends what

 they'd most like to see on blogs - hands down, simple, do-able ideas were the favorite!

So that's our goal - and this week we're focusing on the kitchen.  

Don't miss my talented friends at the end of the post, you'll want to pop over and check

 out their fun ideas too!    

You guys this is one of those, "I can't believe I waited so long to do this" items.

It's been three and a half years since I did our kitchen update for the One Room Challenge.

I LOVED the vibrant flat weave wool rug I chose, but sadly it was a maintenance nightmare,

and didn't last at our house. It attracted Golden Retriever hair like flies to dog doo!  

  In the meantime we lived with this BLAH brown, low maintenance natural

fiber rug that wore like iron and hid ALL the things! And, when I wanted to

change it up, I flipped it over! Yep, reversible to the other BLAH brown side!

If that wasn't enough, the edges started looking ratty and one corner curled a little that

 you tripped over if it wasn't strategically placed.

I've finally found something that I think will work, this medallion rug is $30, and has 

great reviews.  It's washable, I haven't had a washable rug for a zillion years, I didn't even

know they made them anymore. I'll let you know how it goes.

I love that it has the vibe of this beautiful rug...

Thanks for stopping by friends, hope you're inspired to make a little change.

We'll be back next Tuesday sharing more ideas.

Don't miss these friends' ideas!
