Hey Karen! :)
Yes, I wondered about that one shedding. I have 2 other wool rugs that I’ve been super happy with but they are the “shaggy” type. (and don’t shed at all)
This one is shaggy and reviews did say it shed. I might not notice it with Ryder’s white hair though!! lol
The white is a little scary but so far so good. It’s nice that they can be washed too. I love the smell of clean laundry anyway so I can see myself washing these pretty regularly for that reason alone! ;)
I can NOT (not,not, not!!) wait to get the kitchen done! So excited to see it all. Light bright airy and updated.
And thank you for the sweet words as always friend!!! xoxo

Congrats on getting your slip covered furniture!! The new love seat looks great in your space and makes the room look so much larger. We desperately need two new sofas and I’m glad to hear that you’ve been pleased with your Ektorp. That’s one that I’m considering but we need to get to an Ikea to sit on one to make sure.

OK, lots to talk about! First, while I love the Tuscan Moroccan Shag Rug you are considering for your living area, I’m personally partial to the jute rug you already have down. I like the texture and the little bit of color it provides, while still being neutral (you know how I love my neutrals). One other thing…. and I’m sure you know this, but wool rugs shed like crazy. At least every wool rug I have ever put in my house has. I have replaced every one of them… several times! And as a matter of fact, I have been keeping my eye on the very jute rug you have! Amazing how similar our tastes are! :)

Second, I am in love with your new white slip covered furniture. I’m not sure how you talked the hubby into it, but you need to teach me how to do it, because I don’t think I could EVER convince my husband to go with white furniture…. mostly because of the dogs. And it wouldn’t matter that the covers could be washed….

Third, the kitchen…. I love the new design! It will look fabulous and light and yet still neutral (there’s my favorite word again!). You have picked some gorgeous materials and it will come together beautifully, I am sure. I’m anxious to see it all completed!

You never cease to impress me! xo

Hope you are doing well!! xoxo
