Pin-Therapy

Please don't tell me you're not Pinning yet. "Pinning?" As in Pinterest - the interwebs' most delicious collection of all things imagery, and notorious vacuum of precious time? I could (and do) spend hours pouring over images - from delicious design I may have otherwise missed, to clever quotes and phrases - selecting my personal favorites to add to my Pin Boards.

To say it's addictive is entirely cliché, BUT after reviewing my collection of pins, I've come to the conclusion that pins just might be a window to the soul. OK, well it may not be a spiritual experience, but it certainly provides a clue as to what charms you, what defines your style.

Through the lens of my pins, I'm clearly not over yellow. I don't know what that says about my soul, but it sure does soothe me (in an energizing kind of way).

Product Review: Overstock Chevron Kilim Rug

A few weeks ago, I spied a tweet by designer and fellow blogstress, Camila about a chevron rug on Overstock. As I'm still on the chevron bandwagon, I linked over to the clearance website, and found this: Chevron Kilim Rug...

The price was too good to pass up ($130 for my 5x8), especially considering it's a natural fiber (i.e. wool and jute) rug.
It arrived today, and I have to say I'm initially very pleased. Now, don't get me wrong, this was not an expensive rug, so it is not very thick, and I don't imagine the weave is very hearty, but it gives great impact, which is what I wanted. I also like that it has a more natural, textural feel - making it at least somewhat unique among the sea of chevron rugs out there.

For now, ours is making itself at home in our entry. (yes, I know I need a larger console)

So, to summarize: Chevron kilim via Overstock gets a thumbs-up for value and looks. Bad news: I think I probably bought the last one, as it was under "high sell-out risk," and I can no longer find it on the site.

Lesson: It pays to Tweet! Follow me if you're not already!

Just a quick social media update - MLHP now has a Facebook "page!" Many of you have joined the MLHP "group" (I know, page/group = confusing). I'll be shutting down the "group," and to do this, I must remove all the members, but I hope you'll hop on over, and join the conversation on the "page". Here's a link, or you can get on FB, search My Little Happy Place Blog, and then click "like."

I'll post links to blog posts on the wall (that you'll see in your News Feed), as well as additional photos of projects that didn't fit into blog posts. It's a great way to get MORE Happy Place, and a fun way for you to leave feedback on posts, photos, and engage other MLHP readers. So, boot scoot on over, and get your MLHP social media ON! ;)
