phew...

I always feel like I need a vacation from coming back from vacation. I was only gone a few days and now all I escaped is back in my face...times ten!

Honestly though, I can't really complain. We lucked out with beautiful weather, delicious food and drinks and minimal travel issues.

Now that I'm somewhat caught up and still channeling the relaxation and refocus from my vacation, I'm starting to plot new projects and goals.

Number 1: Rug for the dining area. Since our palette is monochromatic, blacks, grays, whites, silvery blue greens, I'm having a hard time deciding how to incorporate some jazz into the space.

Possibly by adding a pop of blue green...



Or some eye-catching stripes...


Maybe a more traditional pattern that incorporates blacks, grays and whites...




Decisions, decisions...looks like I have weekend of March Basketball and Rug Shopping Madness.
