Hello World! How is everyone today? A handful of posts back I let you know that a rug I had ordered came in quite earlier than expected. It’s always a crap shoot when the doorbell rings. It’s either a solicitor or one of my favorite delivery guys. So, I was quite the ecstatic one when it was my UPS delivery guy.
My plan for my house is to take one room at a time and decorate it completely. I was getting way to scattered and losing focus and my rooms look really unfinished with some nice pieces here and there. So, the first project of the year has been to focus on my entryway. This is where the new rug has been placed. Oh, and good news, the cats are now trained to stay off of it, but I still roll it up at night. Better safe than sorry. I would really hate to have the 16 yr. old cat have a hairball too close to the rug and accidentally get some on it. Just sayin’. Okay, enough yapping. Here are like what seems a thousand pictures of The Rug.
I know, right? Is she not just the prettiest thing you ever saw? Now, here are a couple of pics of the rug that was there before.
It was in my green phase before I knew that I loved Blue/White with Beige.
Okay, back to the prettiness.
I do wish she was just a tad larger, but I have the little intricate chest that I’ve been working on that will go in the entryway opposite the china hutch.
A view from above looking down from the second floor.
I know it might seem risky to have a cream based rug in the entry, but I’ve noticed that most everyone that comes into my house are close friends and family and they usually take off their shoes. The front entry never really got dirty before with stuff being tracked in. That happens at the back door. Maybe I should sweep out back more often to keep the tracking at bay.
Anyhoo, thank you for the visit. I hope you like my rug. I lurve her. It looks like this week’s Make it Pretty Monday will the largest week. We are close to 400 link ups and it’s only Wednesday.

I love the pattern and the colors are lovely!. The rug looks so pretty in your entry. I would have chosen this pattern also.
We recently re-decorated our entry door way too. I will be posting about it soon, I still have a few more little things to add.
Have a sweet day, Elizabeth
It's a beautiful rug, Kathryn! I love the colors in it. The round shape is a nice touch I always find when there are lots of straight lines around.
The rug is so fresh and pretty, and I like the way the round shape contrasts the rectangles in the door and floor.
Lovely rug I like it ! Same here everyone who knows us comes in the back kitchen door not the front lol ! Thanks for sharing with us looks good ! Have a good day !
That rug is so pretty! Very good choice!
I love the rug, the colors are so vibrant. I'm looking at pulling blue and yellow in a room I will be doing soon. Thanks for sharing
Just gorgeous! The colors are just perfect. What a beautiful rug! I love the way it looks in your entryway!
I can't get over how such a small change made such a dramatic impact! You have me thinking for sure! I love Ballard designs, can't ever go wrong. Your home looks so fresh and pretty with your new blue & white decor!
Thank you so much! I still have so much to do to make the switch to blue and white. That's why I'm taking it one room at a time. Thanks for popping in for a visit. Toodles, Kathryn

Love your new run, the colors are stunning. Great idea to do a room at a time, that way you can focus on what you need for one area and not go crazy trying to get everything done at one. Thanks for sharing at the Cabin!
Why not put a brown edge around the rug? That would make it a bit larger…
Not a bad idea. Thanks, Kathryn
So pretty! And I love Ballards!
Gorgeous and perfect for your entry. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
I love the new rug! Ballards is just a short drive (several Blocks) from where we live. They have an outlet store in front of the warehouse that is always filled with lovely accessories. I think I'm overdue for a visit. The rug looks fabulous in your entry. Cheers!

That rug is beautiful!
Beautiful! It really draws your eye to the blue on the walls as well! I've been too scattered in my decorating as well and have been trying to do the same thing as you…focus on one room at a time! Have a blessed day, Tammy
I seriously love this rug. I want to buy it and paint a room to match it. It's beautiful. Love the shade of blue on it. Have a good week. ((hug))
No wonder you love 'er…a beautiful rug.

Lovely! What an awesome find for your home – the perfect pattern and shade of blue for your decor! I do appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
