Office Transformation and $500 Rug Giveaway!
Remember when I decided to take back the seldom used guest room?
The bed has been moved to my daughter’s room, the sunroom desk has been hauled up three flights of stairs (sorry hubby!), supplies have been removed from the craft armoire in the living room and the best part …
Not just any cowhide rug – this is a blinged out cowhide rug that makes my heart go pitter patter – it’s from PlushRugs.com and it even has a fun name – Devour Cowhide!
It adds the perfect amount of glam to my very own mom cave/office/craft room.
It’s the first step in my plan for world domination …
I mean furnishing the office.
I was like a kid in a candy store browsing through all of the choices at PlushRugs.com and I love that they will beat any competitor’s price!
This is phase one in my office renovation saga …
will Kelly get more furniture?
will she paint and if so, what color?
how will she organize her overflowing amount of supplies that threaten to bury her alive?
I know you’re on the edge of your seat – so stay tuned.

Really love the look of the Fallon Surya collection. I’d love to win it!
First of all… I can’t pick just one to live without. There are TONS to pick from that I love. I think HWS01 (Charcoal, Gold) would look awesome in our office! I commented on HWS01 (Charcoal, Gold)

Great giveaway, and I like your cowhide! I would love VR-43 (Beige)
from Veranda by Momeni in my dining room of my 100 year old home, would really warm up the dark hardwood floors.
I really like the STL165A Multi, I commented on it. It looks like a piece of modern Art, would be a Great Source of inspiration in my Art Room. I love what you have done, your cowhide rug & desk looks like a high end plush urban loft. I need to cut down on the clutter, I think if I had something this beautiful on the floor, I would want to be able to show it off. Great giveaway thank you.
I like the handspun or herringbone jute.
Oh I love the peeks of your new office…the cowhide rug is perfect in there!…great giveaway…love the Delphine pattern!!…Great giveaway…have a great weekend!
Garden party is my favorite!
Searched for awhile, but couldn’t find a comment section on the website. Love the 8 in round Art 193 (line brown)-reminds me so much of spring (can’t wait to get out in the garden, but have a few months to go…..) Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Hi Beth – once your click on your favorite rug, you can comment on each rug page! I have a round rug in my daughter’s room – love it! Good luck!
Kelly
Thanks Kelly, got it and made my comment!
I love the Kaleen Botany Fennel rug in blue! I swear I’ve seen this rug before & have loved it for a long time. It would look great in our dining room of our 1890’s home! I have the exact same color blue walls as the rug & a pumpkin orange ceiling 🙂 So pretty and bold. I pinned it to my Pinterest board “a whole lotta rugs.”
I also posted on Twitter 🙂
Hi! Love your rug choice! We just moved to Florida and the SandDollar rug in dark beige would be perfect! Thank you for your generous giveaway! 🙂
I’m a big fan of products made in the US, so any of those from the American Rug Craftsman line is what I would choose. I couldn’t find a comment section on their web site, so this is it from me! Happy decorating!
Kelly great giveaway, since our home isn’t finished yet I am guessing 5’1 x 8 traditional rug may work in our new foyer. Such beauties to pick from in these choices. Sure I could pick one.
Cynthia
I love the black and white cowhide. They have a great selection of rugs. Thanks for sharing, I’m obsessed with rugs.
Thanks so much for the giveaway! I like the brown and white cowhide. I have that on my “list” for my living room! The giveaway would get me a lot closer to the goal of having it!
Green is still my fav, so FT-477, Frontier by Surya in the jade Oyter Gray is my top choice!
Wow, Kelly! An awesome giveaway, and SO many to choose from ! Will be hard to make a decision. But I’m up for the challenge !
What a great giveaway. I’d love to have the round BRD170A (Multi) by Safavieh for the reading corner in my bedroom.
Of the ones I’ve looked at so far, I like one called Katherine. I think I’d go with something sage and green in a rectangular or oval shape.
