Anyone know of a great place to buy rugs? I'm needing one for my sunroom so it needs to be pretty casual - no wool or anything hot. I've found one at Home Depot that will work, but want to continue looking before making the final decision. Speaking of the sunroom, we are waiting for the slipcovers for the love seat and ottoman. We ordered them, they came, and were too small. So back to the company they went. Hopefully they will fit when they are returned. Once the slipcovers come the room will pretty much be finished, except for accessories.
Now on to the next project - the yard! We had a landscaper landscape our east bed yesterday and it looks so much better! In the fall we had all of the shrubs removed from both sides of the house and everything removed from the backyard. My husband and I (as with all projects we do) ambitiously thought we could do all of the relandscaping. We have since rethought that idea and hired a landscaper for the bed on the east side of the house but still think we can do the back. We'll see. The beds in the back are small so that's why we think we can do them. If nothing else I can start getting ideas of what I want back there, then either start planting in the spring, or find someone to plant for us. It's just so expensive to relandscape. Or do anything other home improvement. But it has been fun and we are making the house our own. And learning alot in the process! :)

You could try a flooring/carpeting company - they frequently have remenants left over from carpeting someone's house. We have a couple of small rooms in our house and the company we are talking to actually suggested that we use remenants in those small rooms.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the landscaping. My husband and I have always done all of our own landscaping and it is very rewarding - especially the following season when it is growing!!!
