No I’m not pregnant.

We’re not getting a dog either.  At least not right now.

Nope, not talking about anything living or breathing, but about something that brought a breath of fresh air to our Living Room.

A NEW RUG!

As you may recall, it was love at first sight when I saw the Pottery Barn Mia Rug in their catalog a few months back.  It was exactly what I had been looking for and I would have gone out and bought it right then and there, but it with all the summer landscaping projects, it wasn’t really in the budget.

Well, good things come to those that wait.  Good things like a rug sale, a 10% off your entire purchase coupon, Pottery Barn gift cards procured by redeeming credit card points and being able to convince Peter that since we both were sick of the old rug, the rest would make the perfect anniversary gift to give each other.

So this weekend it was out with the old:

And in with the new!

I’m absolutely in love with this rug.

Lydia likes it too.

Although that may be due in large part to the fact that she enjoys picking fuzz out of it to chew on.

Oh well!

The rest of us are enjoying it’s colors, patterns and the fact that it is very cushy under foot.

Welcome to the family, Mia!
