So more nursery shopping was done the other day and finally the rug dilemma was solved.
After wandering through the market hall to pick up a few things Cottonsocks and I dipped into the bargain corner section to have a quick look.
I'd kind of/not really/really not really chosen the black and white/green trim rug I've previously blogged about.
My resolution was to paint the green bit... but then I decided it just wasn't going to work at all.
A lady was looking at the above rug and it immediately caught my eye.
It was the only one in the bargain corner and I was sure she was going to take it so I just forgot about it.
We went to the checkout and CS paid for her goodies then the lady came to the check out and DIDN'T HAVE THE RUG.
We went back to the bargain corner and it was still there, after a quick check to see what was "wrong" with it (tiny black mark on the side) I had my mind set like jelly.
I'm now going to base nursery items around the rug, it's kind of tied all my ideas together AND given me "highlight" colours - grey, mustard, navy.
Yipyipyippppiiieeeee I'm so excited to start putting things together now!!!
Just need the cot to be delivered!!!!!

Yay!!!!! What a find!!!!!

See I need cot linen!
DeleteI'm making a mobile, will get onto it now that I'm on mat leave!!!
xox
OH and totally need to clean out the room...... it's still a junk room ahahahahahaaha
DeleteI bought the black white rug, because I have the matching cushions and the green and blue cushion the trim is based on! Not till I got it home did I realise. I could have got it half price in bargain corner but it was mega dirty. Always have the best luck in bargain corner when it's not the weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove your new rug though!
I am always wary of the bargain corner but this rug wasn't dirty!!!
DeleteJust a small grey mark on the side, too easy!!!!
I don't think I would have bought it if it was filthy, not worth the $$
xox

Glad it worked out for you, and must a say, what a good looking rug.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt was the one thing I just couldn't figure out

It's going to be such a beautiful nursery! Love the rug, you have excellent taste xo
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope it all comes together perfectly.

Love that rug!! As a bonus for you ... it's likely to be small enough to fit in one of the washing machines at a laundromat in case the little one has any accidents on it!
ReplyDeleteThat is SUCH a good idea!!!!
DeleteTotally need to remember it for the future, thank you!
xox
Woohoo!! A rug for the rugrat - perfect :) Loving mustard.
