Let's Make Life Awesome
For most people I know, their families were begun long before they were even born. I’m not talking about siblings or even cousins. I’m talking about family dogs.
My parents had their first baby Roxie, a blonde Cocker Spaniel, well before I entered the world. My calling her to come play ended up being my first word – I said “Mmmmm!” and she would come running. I guess she was my big sister.
That’s not an Instagram filter, kids. That’s an honest to goodness retro photo of Roxie and me.

Even though the hustle and bustle of Christmas is upon us, I haven’t given up on my (pipe) dream of having my office finished by the end of the year. So far, I have cleared the office of the clutter, installed a Herringbone wood wall, painted the ceiling and other walls, and transformed a few pieces of furniture (updates on those coming soon). Whew!
I still have a few things to do, including building my own (very ambitious) light fixture, but items are quickly being marked off of my to do list. One of those items is finding a rug for the room.
I really love the overdyed rug trend happening right now, so that’s the route I’m going for my office. Generally, these rugs feature traditional patterns with a super saturated dye that has been poured on the top. You can buy a vintage rug that has been dyed for mega bucks (like this many: $$$$$$). Or, you can choose a mass produced version with a more budget-friendly price (more like this: $$$). Whichever you choose, the bright colors and distressed areas bring a modern twist to traditional styling.
And they are oh, so Lindsay, don’t you think?
