Finally, A New Rug and A Blog Update!

Did y'all notice my new blog design? Oh my word...it was the longest day of my life trying to figure this out. Thank goodness my son got home from school a few hours early so he could help me. :) He pretty much did everything for me. I just picked the pictures. 

I also changed my font size from normal to large. I'm having trouble keeping it on "large" though. It keeps wanting to refer back to "normal." I tried changing it to large a few months ago and it kept going back to normal and I got frustrated with it and gave up. Maybe I can figure it out this time. I also changed my picture size from medium to x-large. I know the post title is kind of light in color, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about that without messing with codes and that scares me. Ha! Hope y'all like the changes. :)

Now for the new rugs:

We've had the same rugs by our front and back doors for about 13 years. It was definitely time to update them. :) Here's our old rug by the front door:

It was just a little too dark for me.

It was also kind of small for this space.

And here's the old rug by the back door. Sorry about the blurry pic with the shadows.

And here's the new rug by the back door. It still had the tag on it when I took this pic. Again with the shadows...sorry.

And here's the new one by the front door. It matches the one by the back door. It's just bigger.

I love it! I think it goes perfectly with my everyday decor and will also coordinate with my fall and Christmas decor. I like the bigger size too.

Here's a close up of the pattern. It's really soft on your feet too.

 

 I seem to keep the same decor around for years and years, then all of a sudden, I can't stand it and want to replace everything at once. :)  Do y'all go through phases like that too?

Y'all check back Friday when I'll be sharing some changes I made to my pantry door. 

Thanks for stopping by!
