Saturday, January 2, 2010 Martha Stewart Rugs for Safavieh

We're a bit obsessed with rugs lately. It's probably because we're working on launching our new rug site and that's all we been seeing for the last two weeks.

Have you seen the Martha Stewart rug collection for Safavieh? It's not a new collection--in fact, it's been around for a while. We're seeing some new patterns that we really like though. Check them out:

What do you think? They are so Martha Stewart-ist, aren't they? One thing you can say about Martha, she's consistent in her style/taste.

These rugs are not too expensive. They run about $250 for a 4x6 to $1500 for a 9x13.

Affordable Luxury-Faux Fox Throw

We don't know about you, but we totally have frugality fatigue.

Like everyone else, we've cut back in our spending considerably, and we mean, REALLY, REALLY cut back. The kind of cut back where life stops being fun!

While there is some joy in seeing how many ways you can save money, there's a lot more joy in spending a little on yourself once in a while. It doesn't have to be a lot. Sometimes just something simple like a new lipstick could just make your day.

This year we are starting a new category called Affordable Luxury. It's our version of a new lipstick. You know, little things that don't cost much but make your life a bit more cheerful? Something that gives you a high, however temporary?

Our first item:



This faux fox throw is from Wildcat Territory. It's 80" x 48" and costs $399. We love it accross a chair, a chaise or a bed. It adds instant luxury to a room, but most importantly, because it's so soft and fuzzy, it's great for a cold day.
