One of the most frequent questions I get is “Where did you get that pink zigzag rug in your living room?”. Well now I’ve gathered images and listed sources for all the rugs used throughout my home.

Red Hair
I did it! One item from my 30 Before Thirty list down, 29 to go.
I had my hair dyed at a salon, but it was not without difficulty. My appointment consisted of hair dying, drying, washing, bleaching, washing, dying, drying, and finally done.
It’s a fun color though!
Martha Stewart Paint Colors
I was informed today by Jules that the new line of Martha Stewart paint colors is now at The Home Depot. People, do you realize how excited about paint swatches as I get?
There is no fan deck available for purchase, so getting the full line requires standing there in the paint isle and grabbing one of each color. It’s a little ridiculous, really.
Of course, it’s not the first time I’ve done such a thing for Ms. Martha. I still have the entire line of discontinued Valspar colors too.
The new line is completely different from the old. I’m not a fan of the pinks (and you know how I love pink) nor the purples, but the blues, greens, and neutrals are beautiful.
