A New Foyer Rug

Thanks to a very generous giveaway from Darlene, at Our Creative Life, I now have a snazzy new rug for our foyer. I jumped up and down with glee when I found out I had won this giveaway and quickly decided what I wanted, a black 4’ round rug with a zebra monogram. And I just love, love, love it! Thank you again, Darlene, for your generosity. It amazes me at the things that are given away in blogland and I’ve been fortunate enough to win several great prizes. But, I have to say, this one is the best so far!

It’s a perfect fit for our foyer.

What a way to welcome guests.

How do you like it? Me, I’m in love with it. Go and visit Darlene’s online store if you’d like a custom rug of your own.

Stop back by tomorrow! I’m ready to show off that newly painted dining room. I think you’re gonna love it.

    Now that’s a rug with a personality all it’s own. I love the zebra stripes…wonder if it’s because I love zebras? Lucky girl, Rhoda…lucky girl!

    The rug looks great Rhoda! We are thrilled that you are happy with it! As you know it was the first time we used animal print for an initial inlay. It turned out great, so now we will offer initial inlays in zebra & leopard print. If anyone is interested in an animal print initial inlay rug..contact us at: [email protected]
    We don't have them on our website as of yet.

    Love the new rug and what a oh so generous gift to be bestowed to you. Bloggers are the most loving, kind and generous people I have ever encountered. I got my new foyer rug and area rugs this weekend also so I share in a kinshipm excitement with you. It gives such a refreshing uplift to a room.

    What a beautiful rug! I love it! It looks great!!

    I have a question, so you happen to know where the website is that you can make the boards to try to plan colors and things for a room? I know you do a lot of decor and I just wondered if you have done that. I have seen it on a blog somewhere and I can’t remember where!
    I would love if you could come check out my blog and scroll down to see my bedroom and help me figure out a color or a new scheme. I can’t spend a lot but I need advice!
    Thanks! 🙂
