Under Foot

After months (literally, MONTHS) of searching, we finally settled on an office rug. It’s a bit ridiculous how long this search has taken. I stumbled on this rug at HomeSense a few weeks ago while shopping for a client and snapped a quick photo of it before moving on. Later on that night, I was scrolling through the photos on my phone and took a closer look… and LOVED it. The boyfriend did too. I’m not sure how I managed to glaze over it so quickly the first time. I dashed back to HomeSense the following night, crossing my fingers that it was still there – and luckily for me, it was!

I love the little bit of interest the pattern adds to the space without being too overwhelming. Plus, it’s all natural fibres, which I tend to prefer in a rug. And at HomeSense prices (it was $149), it was impossible to resist.

It's a little dizzying in these photos but the pattern is much more subtle in person, thanks to the black & white colour scheme.

Now that we’ve finally settled on a rug, I can move on to finding fabric for curtains. I’m thinking one super-wide panel that I can pull all the way to the right when open. This beauty from Tonic Living is a strong contender... 

If you’re interested in other #OperationOffice projects, you can find them all right here. This room has come a LONG way in the past 6 months! Besides the aforementioned curtains, the only other immediate tasks are to hang our degrees (why I've procrastinated on that for so long is beyond me) and purchase two desk chairs. I'm partial to these ones, but we shall see...
