I recently spotted a tee shirt emblazoned with the saying, 'Procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow.' If that's true, then I'm a future interiors superstar because I've mastered the art of avoidance when it comes to decorating my apartment. But now I have a top-secret, super exciting project on my plate that requires me to decorate the whole space ASAP. As you might imagine, I'm tearing my hair out (when I'm not burying my head in the sand even more assiduously than before).
However, as another maxim reminds us, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In my case that step means laying a strong foundation underfoot. I've always loved the look of layered floor coverings, with mixed patterns and textures in similar hues building a versatile backdrop for eclectic furnishings and accents. Rugs Direct kindly sent along this shaggy number from the Surya Rhapsody collection and I've been happily burying my toes (instead of my head!) in its plush softness.
My next to-do's include finding a sofa, hanging art, and tearing up my that horrid carpet to expose the oak floors beneath. In the meantime, Rugs Direct has offered one lucky reader $300 to lay their own decorating groundwork! It's easy to throw your name in the ring.
