LAYER IT UP!


I'm back! & I'm cold! Its around 17 degrees here in NYC and with the wind chill it feels about 10 below. I've missed you so!

As I was layering up this morning I thought why not share a recent obsession of mine with you all. Rug Layering. If you have been following my blog you know we are in the middle of putting our apartment decor together. Yes, I am STILL waiting for Restoration Hardware to deliver a few major pieces & I guess it is kinda premature of me to worry about finishing touches given the fact we haven't received the key pieces yet. But.... I cant wait any longer! I'm all over getting the floor texturized. 


Our living room/dining room style is a good mix of Industrial/French meets Scandinavian Chic. Imagine dark greys, heavy metals and reclaimed woods in all colors. We need to bring some more texture and pattern into the space so I'm planning on layering a cowhide rug over a large jute rug. 


Here are some of my favorite rug layering looks Id like to share with you:








Here is the Argentinian Brindle Cowhide we already own (we have it under our Colette Bed for now until we decide on the perfect Jute rug for the space).




You can purchase beautiful ones via Wisteria, One Kings Lane, Gilt and even Rugs USA. The one I purchased was a major success due to the fact that it was a steal of a price and has tones of gray tones throughout. 


I get it, alot of people hate the cowhide rug but they are extremely durable and beautiful. For us it is the perfect layering piece for texture. Add any color cowhide over a neutral colored Jute rug and voila.... your space is instantly turned chic and unique. Try it! & Don't forget to layer up today.
