Last spring we moved the rug that was in our family room up to the
guest room. I loved that rug but in an attempt to save money I ordered a size smaller than I should have and it always bugged me. It went perfectly in our gray guest room though and so we moved it up there and I started hunting for a larger rug down here. I wanted something that would be soft and comfortable for the girls to play on and had a pattern that would help hide any day to day dirt/stains and I didn't want it to be too dark or too light. With all those requirements I had trouble finding something that worked. While I looked we moved a large jute rug from upstairs down here so we'd at least have something underfoot. I looked for months and never quite found anything.
Then one day a couple of weeks ago I was on Birch Lane's website looking through some of their beautiful new spring items as we were going to collaborate with them on a spring refresh and I stumbled across their
Nellie rug and fell in love with it! They shipped it out and it arrived just a few days later. I have to say I love it even more in person. It's so soft and the color and pattern is perfect.
I have always loved working with
Birch Lane. Their customer service is wonderful and they ship items so quickly. They also now offer FREE shipping on all orders over $49, including furniture! Lots of companies have huge surcharges for shipping furniture so free shipping is pretty awesome. The
stone colored pillows on the sofa are from
Birch Lane as well. I had them down here for a few days but then when we finished up our guest room upstairs I ended up moving them up there because they matched perfectly. I'll have photos of that room later this week or this weekend.
