The Rug and The Review…

The Rug…

Starting a blog kind of fell into my lap.  Last summer I knew I was taking a break from designing bedding for the former “Addison’s Wonderland” and I knew that I loved sharing our home remodel on social media.  What I didn’t expect was allllll the questions.  I absolutely love and am completely flattered by it, I just honestly didn’t expect it!  I was so sad about leaving the design world for a little while and I thought hmmm… blogging would be a great little outlet for me to share what I love, answer all of your questions and continue Addison’s Wonderland in a new form and fashion.  So today I am using my blog for just that.  Answering one of my most asked, e-mailed and messaged questions ever.  Like ever ever.

Where did you get your living room rug and do you like it?

nuLOOM Zem Sweet Geometric Area Rug

Living Rooom Rug

First of all, I absolutely love this rug.  It’s the perfect neutral yet patterned rug that coordinates with everything.  I love the light cream/white background, charcoal gray lines and the thick shag pile.  No matter how many times I change up our pillows, it all still works.

Secondly, it is honestly not that difficult for us to keep clean.  Mind you, I do have two house rules… 1.  No shoes in the house!  We do live on a “farm” so shoes get quite dirty so I have shoe baskets on every porch for easy shoe throwing.  2.  No food or drink except Cheerios, Cheez Its and sippy cups anywhere but the kitchen, breakfast room and dining room.  Let’s be honest.  Our breakfast room table is DIRECTLY behind the sofa.  Mickey might appear about 1″ smaller but I think my kiddos will survive.  Given that crumbs are about the only thing that “spills” in our living room, it honestly hasn’t gotten stained.  Even the Cheez It crumbs fall into the great shag abyss and I don’t realize how plentiful they are until the vacuum cleaner sounds like a tornado.

Next, it does shed worse than a long-haired German Shepard…  for a couple of weeks.  I was ready to break up with the rug, burn it, and then throw it away for about two weeks.  Like holy cow the fuzz balls everywhere.  BUT, it does stop shedding and now it honestly does not shed anymore.  At all.  Whatsoever.

Oh and ours is 9′ x 12′!

    As always, thank you Brittany for being so generous to share your decor sources with us! I also really appreciate the details and feedback with all of your posts – this really helps so much. Your home is gorgeous and I keep reading your blog because your amazing personality really shines through. Thank you for answering our questions. Now, the only one I have left – may you please share the details of your 100lb weight loss before Winter? That is such a HUGE success story and I’d love to hear how you did it and the healthy habits you maintain to keep it off. As a new mom, your story is inspiring!

    Thank you for this review! I am considering this rug for our bedroom. This convinces me it’s perfect! Did you notice it had a smell? Like a musty or chemical smell?

    By the way, I have the same “no shoes in the house” rule! Thankfully my friends and family are so accustomed to this that I don’t even have to remind them. I have babies crawling around and one glance at the toxins shoes drag into a house (lead poisoning, anyone?!) nevermind the MESS is enough to make wearing your shoes into my house pretty much the worse offenses a person can commit against me! It sounds dramatic but it’s a big deal to me!

Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AN Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AND a beautifully made bed? ME TOO!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ A few days ago on stories I was chatting about how huge, fluffy pillow inserts can MAKE a pillow sham! I feel the same about a comforter or duvet insert too. Layers and fluff make all the difference 🥰 P.S. My personal fave… @brooklinen is having a HUGE SALE so I linked it in my bio. Not sponsored… just love it and sharing. Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the books BUT I did have four unexpected surgeries in December so technically I feel like I should have four extra weeks of Holiday shares… right?!? 😉 But I’ll leave it at one… AND technically it isn’t mine so I’m just bragging on my girl Ab 🥰 Hehe I’ll stop blabbing and leave y’all with a peek at Ab’s beautiful Holiday home she shared on the blog a few weeks back (linked in bio). If you want to see more of Ab AND more AW design, pop over and follow our new “behind the AW design scenes” page she’s running… @keepingupwith_aw ♥️ We also have some big news about Ab and her role with AW but I’ll save that for later too. WHEW! I think I’m done now. Goodnight friends!!!
