Here are the two rugs we bought for our mid-century design house in California. With a lot of wood features and barely any space for wallpaper, I strongly feel that the wood in the new house needs to be toned down. Hence I want to introduce colorful patterns for the floors and step out of my comfort zone that previously consisted of warmer hues and monochromatic color schemes. Using vibrantly patterned rugs in cool shades of blue, the house will reflect (hopefully) a nice combination of textures, colors and patterns. Take a look at the two we chose and some of the pillows we selected for the main living areas.
The moving truck is due to arrive in the East Bay next Monday. After spending the upcoming weekend with us in New Jersey, on Sunday, my husband will fly to California to receive our belongings and begin setting up house. I'm beginning to feel anxious to get there soon...
