Do you guys ever feel like you just want to move everything in your house around? It happens to me when the seasons change, it must be some sort of seasonal nesting syndrome. A few weeks ago Jeff was out of town doing business-man-stuff, and I was home alone, which meant that I had all the time in the world to do whatever I wanted to the house after the kids were in bed. One night I was feeling restless and decided that all the rugs needed to be switched around ASAP. The music room rug went to the living room, the living room rug went to the bedroom, and the bedroom rug went to the music room, got it? Swapped.

Now I don’t know if changing things around makes the spaces better or worse, but I do think it can change your perspective on how you feel about your home. With a few quick changes, and usually a bottle of wine, everything can start to feel new and fresh and exciting. For the time being, I’m loving the changes in my home.

I forgot how much I adore the dark patterned rug in the living room – last spring I was just over it, but now that the temperature is dropping outside, I need it back! There is something about this rug and winter light, the contrast can be kind of stunning at certain times of the day.

I moved the living room rug to my bedroom, I love having the neutral white and soft texture of the moroccan rug upstairs. Our bedroom has always been a place where I want it to feel just like us, and I think for right now it does. The deep pile of the rug feels so cozy on bare feet in the wintertime. We switched up the bedding too, I’ve had my eye on the Playa duvet and Harmony sheets from West Elm for awhile, last week there was a sale, and I nabbed them. I’m in love with that salmon stripe in the bedding.

For now, everything is perfect.
