Crossing It Off the List (Sitting Room Rug)

I know that I've shared my favorite room with you before.

It's the sitting room right off of our dining room that I love so much.

I always knew, however,

 that the area rug I had under the coffee table was too small.

See what I mean?  

TOO SMALL.

I've had a new rug for this room on my 

"to buy" list for over a year.
(Do you have one of these lists too?)

I've been searching forever it seems, 

but could never find the right rug with the right shade of blue.

Low and behold, I walked into Tuesday morning 

a few weeks ago and found it!

Now I realize that this one may be a bit too large,

(oh never the happy medium around here),

but I loved it and the colors (and price) were right.

Doesn't it look much better?

I am so much happier with this larger rug. 

I can cross it off my "to buy" list....finally!
