Updates... Metallic Rug..

Hi Friends! I have to admit I've missed you in my absence! Things around the "new house" are coming along slowly but surly! The dining room is been a source of head ache as I can't make a decision to save my life.. Do you have a room like that in your home??

I thought I'd share a little sneak peek of whats been going on in the formal living room. I got this gorgeous metallic cowhide rug from Rugs Usa and I'm slightly obsessed!! Right now I put it in the formal living room but I keep moving it all over the house! It's such a gem it looks good everywhere! Here are a few iphone snaps (the quality is probably making my husband cringe) I'll share better ones later.. Promise!

In other news I've been pinning like a mad woman! Find me under Gina Kates if you please.. Rugs Usa is also on Pinterest here 

Here are some other rugs that I'm loving from Rugs Usa

Orange Pops

There is no better time year to incorporate orange into you home than now. Just throwing a few mini pumpkins here and there really perks things up!  As much as I love my pops of orange I am ready for my winter wonderland! Soo excited to decorate for Christmas this year!

Come and Knock on my Door!

I don't know about you but I am obsessed with pretty doors! Pinterest is not really helping me with that addiction. Geeze that website sucks me in!! Have you joined yet? Am I the last one??

Here are so favorites as of late:

Gray Walls

I have finally decided that I want to paint my walls gray in my bedroom, so now back to the drawing board of trying to figure out a color. UGH Gray is NOT an easy color to pick! It can be too blue or purple looking.. Alll depends on the light.. Do tell though, what are you favorite gray paint colors??

Yellow Wallpaper

Things have been soo hectic but I had to share this awesome deal that I found with you! I absolutely love wallpaper but I am always so hesitant to put it up because I change my mind so quickly. Well this is an good option because one it's a great price at $30 a roll and two its temporary wallpaper!! Easy to put up easy to take down.. Win, win!

Now Sherwin Williams website is so hard to navigate so use the info from the screen grab above to find it!

How Romantical

I cannot believe the weekend is over! It went by ever so fast. We had a family party and an college friend in town, it was nice to entertain in the new home but I'm exhausted!! I swear I don't know how people are party planners. It's a full time job.  So now I'm thinking of all things calming and oh so romantical! Happy Monday.
