...Or at least I didn't know it until I read this post. It's something that I was doing before at least semi-intuitively, but consciously paying attention to this tiny fix is such an easy way to instantly give a room a more polished feel.

Basically, forget about centering art on a wall, and pay more attention to orienting it around the furniture. (This doesn't necessarily mean always placing it dead center above a major piece of furniture - although it could - but rather just thinking about the art as it relates to the way you've arranged the pieces in your room.)

(Kel, if you're wondering, is Kendrick's nickname - his dad made him that stool when he was little.)

Alright, so yesterday I showed you all those little things about our new place that I love...and now I'm going to show you a room that I very seriously do not like even a tiny bit.

Our bathroom.

Now that's a good globe.

I promise, I'm not turning into Young House Love, Ramshackle Edition over here; I just literally have been doing nothing but working on our place for the past week, so...well, talking about home decor is what I've got.

The present object of my obsession: lighting. I'm working on a full remodel of the lighting situation in our house (by which I mean I having lights as opposed to having literally none and living in near-total darkness, because that's what was going on before). I'm shooting a before-and-after video so you can see the full extent of what we're doing, but in the meantime we need to talk about lighting fixtures.

I can't own rugs.

Or...I mean, one day maybe I'll be able to own a rug. When I have a serious, sit-down conversation with my dogs about what activities are and are not appropriate to engage in when confronted with a rug (or maybe when I suck it up and finally hire someone who knows what they're doing to train my untrainable little disasters).

But oh god, my rug fantasies. I have so many of them. White rugs, patterned Turkish rugs, cowhide rugs, pink rugs (ooo pink rugs)...love them all. Want them all.
