Transcript

I'm not proud to say that I just bought a rug that costs more than my couch but I am proud to say that it looks good and girl that's all that matters to me. I'm still in the process of decorating my new place and I haven't stopped thinking about this brown rug and marble coffee table combo. So I pulled the trigger and they came in the same day so I wasted no time putting everything together. Did I use my little plastic grocery cart to get this coffee table up to my apartment? Absolutely. Did I look at a hot mess? Absolutely. Last year's living room vibe was a bit darker and homey but this year I wanted to go warm and modern. I threw together some decor pieces I had around the house but they're just temporary because one thing about me is I love a good home goods trip but let me know what you guys think so far.
