west elm runner

Happy Thursday night abode lovers! I am readying myself for mini-girls party that is happening next weekend. What does that mean? LOTS of home updates for my best girl friends to celebrate the Christmas season! The "girls" have been doing this annual party since middle school- it always involves LOTS of food, cooking, pjs and a few cocktails (no worries, the cocktails didn't start in middle school!)

Anyway, I am making some changes at the abode while simultaneously decorating for Christmas! Photos to come by the end of the weekend.

Here is one of my new items purchased for the party! It's the oh-so-popular West Elm Andalusia rug. I needed something OTHER than tile in this space-- I wanted something that would compliment the rug in the living room, which is shades of yellow as well.




Have a wonderful night, more updates to come by the end of the weekend!

  2. It's a great rug. I bought the same one in a 5 X 8 for my entry but it was getting a little too much traffic from my kids friends coming in and out. I moved it to my guest room/home office and love it there.

  4. I love it. I want something similar for our entry hall, but I am afraid as soon as the Boston winter hits it will look terrible.

  5. Thanks Stephanie! Just a heads up, you can flip this baby over and it looks exactly the same on both sides! So- if you wanted to have a "winter/dingy" side- you totally could!

  6. Looks perfect in that spot! I've thought about putting a rug in our kitchen--but we are so messy, it would have to be a dark one?!
