When Vintage Rugs Made the Room

This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting my creativity!

It’s no secret that I love vintage, Persian rugs. Once upon a time, I sourced and sold vintage rugs — in the long-ago first days of my Instagram. Even though I don’t sell them anymore, my love for vintage rugs is still going strong. In my opinion, rugs can make or break any room!

Rugs are perfect for adding texture, depth, and color to a space. They ground your furniture, provide cushion, and make a space cozy and inviting. If you have hardwoods or tile, rugs are a must!

A quality handmade wool rug is an investment worth every penny. So many people are scared to purchase an expensive rug in fear that their kids or pets will ruin it, but it’s quite the opposite. Many of my handmade wool rugs are over a hundred years old, and trust me, they have seen it all. Thankfully, real wool cleans up beautifully (Unlike all the man made stuff).

So often a vintage rug has “made” the room in my home. They add the perfect blend of warmth, texture, and character to a space. And a little bit of drama too. Don’t be afraid to use them in unexpected places — like in our boho bathroom remodel.

Persian rugs are perfect for adding something special to a design and will simply and beautifully complete your space. Don’t be surprised if you become addicted to them — happened to me! Head to this post to read all of my favorite places to purchase vintage rugs.

6 Packing & Moving Tips to Maintain your Sanity

Baby Schroeder’s Nursery Reveal

We moved FOUR times in 2020. It's a long, exhausti We moved FOUR times in 2020. It's a long, exhausting story, but here we are. Finally in our, dare I say, forever home 🏡⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I had tons of requests for moving tips, and you can now find them on the blog! My husband refused to rent a moving truck on our last move of the year because it was a mile down the road.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
FYI Regardless of how far you are moving, 10/10 do NOT recommend. It was absolutely horrible. Our other moves during the year were pretty seamless! #movingtips #newhousewhodis
That clean room feeling 🖤 I’m so glad we are That clean room feeling 🖤 I’m so glad we are keeping the door off of this closet. It lets in so much light + it’s motivation to keep it clean 🤪 #bedroommakeover
Guess what is on the blog this morning! The nurser Guess what is on the blog this morning! The nursery is officially my favorite spot in the house 🖤 This tiny little room was a total labor of love, but it turned out cozier than I could have imagined. Looking forward to all the snuggles, feedings and diaper changes in here 💞 (words I thought I would never say).⁠ {link in bio + stories}⁠⁠

Everyone keeps asking about this paint color & it’s actually wallpaper that was here ☺️ It’s one of the few papers we decided to keep. But enough about the walls, look at those FLOORS 😍 So much more to do in this room but I’m stopping to celebrate the progress & reminding myself that #hometakestime 🖤
