 Painted Edgeby Rug

I always get so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff in Ikea that my mind goes blank and I can’t imagine doing anything like this. I’ve got to plan ahead for this kind of stuff.

Christmas wishlist #4

The numbers rug from West Elm is my newest object of desire. A special thanks goes out to my cat, Princess Pee & Poo, for ruining EVERY area rug I’ve ever purchased and causing me to waste countless dollars on a hundred and one ways to remove cat urine.

So…this is not merely a want but also a need since the latest to go out with the trash was the 8 x 10 under the dining room table. And since my house is nearly ALL hardwood floors, area rugs are necessary. But here’s the pickle. I buy a rug, she ruins it. I buy another one, she ruins IT. Getting the vicious cycle we’re in?

Anyone want a cat?
