One step, folks. Just one step! Now this is my kind of DIY. It all started after spotting this pin on my feed – A simple white pot with a funny little face painted on the side. I practically live for these types of 10 minute projects, and so made a mental note to pick up a terra-cotta pot, a plant, some white spray paint and a fresh black Sharpie marker. This past weekend, when I finally found the dose of motivation that I needed, my sister I trekked over to our local hardware store where I found the perfect starting point for this project.

Instead of worrying with paint, I found a planter already dressed in white – the extra bonus? It came with a leafy plant already nestled inside! Suddenly my 3 to 4 step project was knocked down to 1. Into my cart it went and within 30 minutes, I had my Sharpie out and a little face drawn on. Done and done.

Let’s just hope that my black thumb doesn’t kill this plant like all of the others that I’ve attempted to foster…Oh, and I’ll be sharing all of the details on that peek at our new entryway tomorrow, so stay tuned! Happy Monday.

Option 1 | Option 2

Oh, the great rug debate. Maybe you vacillate between different styles or different shapes, but I think we’ve all been faced with the decision. Which to choose?! Rugs can, in my opinion at least, make or break a space, and tend to wield an incredible amount of power over the final look. If I were to break down my two favorites? Well, let’s talk options…

OPTION 1:

I’m fairly certain that, the next time I make the 3-hour trek to our closest IKEA, I’m going to have to splurge. $200 for a decent cowhide rug? I’m in. The organic shape and on-trend-yet-classic styling are too good to pass up. Although these rugs tend to be a bit on the smaller side, they work nicely layered on top of a larger, more neutral area rug.

OPTION 2:

Kilim rugs are another on-trend-yet-classic look that I can’t get enough of lately. I think one of the most common misconceptions is that these often vintage rugs are too precious for everyday life. I think it’s quite the opposite though. All of that pattern and color go a long, long way in hiding dirt and stains. Here’s hoping IKEA comes up with a budget look-a-like soon!
