I chuckle as I read about your naughty Woodpecker, birds sometimes become obsessive!<br />Your rug is perfect and I think it is challenging to find just the right rug. I still need a couple for our home and I become overwhelmed with the decision making process.<br />We are having thunderstorms today, but we have been having a dry spell, so it's a really good thing.<br />JemmaJemma@athomewithjemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137225389791605398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-20220648949692925702017-03-28T20:34:11.078-07:002017-03-28T20:34:11.078-07:00Rules shmules.

It looks great anyway.<br /><br />I have so many woodpeckers putting holes in my eaves, I'm surprised they haven't sprung a leak lol I wonder what on earth they could be getting into at your house. Although, my mom has a tile roof and they bang on that too. Weird birds...<br /><br />It sounds like you're feeling better and I'm glad for that :)<br /><br />xo,<br />rueRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-37637246046807483012017-03-27T18:05:01.171-07:002017-03-27T18:05:01.171-07:00I'm late to the new rug discussion so I scroll...I'm late to the new rug discussion so I scrolled back to get caught up. My first thought was that the color looks perfect with your chairs and kitchen. I also think the size looks just right. I think if it was any bigger it would look like too much rug for the room.<br />Glad to hear your healing process is moving along well and that you enjoyed some nice weather.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-30723863387347558012017-03-27T13:10:40.322-07:002017-03-27T13:10:40.322-07:00I think the rug has the perfect size for your kitc...I think the rug has the perfect size for your kitchen.

Our burst of spring weather is ending today, it seems. We're getting snow and rain for the rest of the week, which is a blessing since it's been so dry. I'm trying to suck it up and appreciate the moisture.

Your woodpecker reminded me of a mockingbird who has just driven me nuts this week, attacking his reflection in a window where a holly bush grows in front of it. I'm assuming he's defending his berries but I'm afraid he's going to hurt himself. I've taped pictures and foil up in it but that doesn't work. <br /><br />It sounds as if you're feeling much better with your plans to do garden work when the weather warms up. Very pretty white tray--spray painting is the limit of my crafting too!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-52917991978283972242017-03-26T07:08:49.292-07:002017-03-26T07:08:49.292-07:00I'm glad you made a decision on your rug, Mela...I'm glad you made a decision on your rug, Melanie (I've now got 2 rugs to return). It makes your kitchen more cozy and defines your eating area without having to trip over it on your way through the room. How wonderful that you had a warm sunny day to play outdoors! I'd be soaking up the sun just like your cats if the sun ever decides to shine on us. <br /><br />Your newly painted tray is a nice spring accent on your coffee table. I've still got wool throws on our furniture, too, but spring hasn't sprung here yet.<br /><br />Have a nice rest of the weekend!<br /><br />Vickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-68756468037791618532017-03-26T06:05:11.028-07:002017-03-26T06:05:11.028-07:00I am not sure why we have to have rules for rugs, ...I am not sure why we have to have rules for rugs, I think yours looks great. Now for me I have no rug under my kitchen table as I find it much easier to clean the floor and with Max and Little B that is a necessity.

I was hoping to get an email from you after your procedure. Have you started PT yet?<br /><br />I know the rug dilemmas very much so. The corner in our Great room...I had a round jute rug before but try to find round in another appealing style...grrrrrr...that's when I chose the rectangular one and it works. Sometimes it's too much thinking. I know that you really know what you like...sometimes it's not worth putting it up for debate. Sometimes it's not even about how you 'ground' something as much it is choosing the best thing to ground. I don't want to deal with crumbs or stains under the table in my kitchen so instead I have a runner in front of my sink/stove/dishwasher. It makes for s comfy place to stand and adds some color and warmth. Personally I do not like trying to slide my chair out when there is rug underneath, even in restaurants. I do love your rug. I've always heard just the front legs of furniture should be on the rug...and that how I have it in both homes.<br /><br />I will email soon! :)<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-51441831859955117742017-03-25T19:45:27.228-07:002017-03-25T19:45:27.228-07:00I like the rug.

I noticed today that my lilac is also full of buds. But I just don't understand why the whole shrub refuses to grow any taller. It's about five years old or more, and it's still about three feet tall. Weird.

For me, at my age, I don't want anything I can trip over - I know many elderly people do fall in their own homes because they trip over things. I had thought about adding a rug in the living room with the change in the slip covers, but aside from trip possibilities I also think it would make my rather small and enclosed space look even smaller. The only rug I have is in front of the hearth for the winter months - I roll it up and store through the summer.<br /><br />All looks lovely there - enjoy the weekend with hopefully some more pleasant weather. The kitties are so sweet. Love your tray painted white!<br />Mary -Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-70217564584998345532017-03-25T01:21:07.222-07:002017-03-25T01:21:07.222-07:00The rug looks great to me.
