A Romantic Hooked Rug

This is the rug I just got from my friend Bridget's

 shop in New Hampshire, Rustique. 

Isn't it gorgeous?

 I have been getting a lot of my treasures from Bridget. 

Many of you may know that she writes a blog, 

The Rehab Boutique~you can find it on my sidebar.

I am going to pair it up with my slipcovered sofa.

 This rug, has an oatmeal colored ground 

with ballet pink border,sprinkled with a 

 yellow pink, green and blue floral pattern.

 It has the vintage frenchy feel! 

I will give you a sneak peek at how it looks.

When I threw it in front of the couch, 

I might have let out a squeal of delight!

Here is a quick sketch I did of the room with the rug.

I am using a rush bench for my coffee table.

The soft faded colors of the rug were just what I was looking for.

A fitted slipcover will be made for the chair and ottoman

 I have hiding under all that slipcover fabric!

The iron and wood table will be getting 

a paint job as well~in off white.

A cozy white faux fur throw is a perfect touch of glam.
A sequin fleur~de~lis on an aqua pillow~so yummy.

I realized I have quite the mirror collection
 between the two houses, 

and now one of my favorites 
is over the mantle waiting to be hung. 

An old  crocheted mantle runner 
creates a romantic feel.

This reversible table skirt has a beige and cream check

 on the underside with brush fringe on the hemline 

giving it a heavy hand and beautiful drape. 

I made this about 15 years ago and am glad I saved it.

I am working my way towards being 

one of the Most Romantic Rooms Ever!

Yes, I fantasize about creating this magazine. 
This room looks like a cover shot to me!
Price is only $2.95~
 because I hate paying a lot for a magazine, don't you?

I'll keep you updated after the 

new drapes and slipcover and other tasks are completed!

And if and when I get my magazine deal....
