the wall of boxes adds something special to the decor, don't you think?

I still have boxes and I've been here 2 months!

Love these!

taking some time to enjoy my brand new rug before I put the coffee table where it belongs.

Crate & Barrel online outlet sale! $199 for 100% wool 8x10 rug (that link may not work; it's been iffy when i send it to people)! Yay!

In other home decorating tales, turns out the Hemnes dresser top came without the pre-drilled holes for attaching to the base. I marked the holes and drilled but haven't yet tested whether it will work . . . Fingers crossed!

Nice find! This angle really shows how HUGE your living room is - I think you could fit my entire apartment in there. I'm jealous!

That looks like an awesome rug! Looks somewhat Asian-y, like the kinda rug you'd want to throw some pillows down on, put a small, low-to-the ground table in the middle of, heat up some sake, and invite friends over for dumplings, rice, wine, and good conversation/good times. :)

maybe you don't need a coffee table. Your guests can just put their drinks on your stomach.

Everybody's all flippin' about the room, the light, the furniture (and it's true - it all rocks), but all I can think is: dang, Minty, that pose is kinda hott.

Super-cool shot.

Yarnie Spinner says:

Thanks for the idea of where to look for a rug for my living room. Can we draw a chalk outline around you to decorate the rug? And where is the yarn and needles in the living room?
