Updating the Nest

I hear that when a woman becomes pregnant she feels an overwhelming urge to "nest". Well I'm not pregnant but I have this feeling constantly. It may be the design instinct I have, but I am always looking for new and exciting things to accessorize my home with. Whether it's new annual flowers, changing out pictures in frames or just getting new pieces, I always want change. I'm a visual person and am in constant need for something interesting to look at. Mr. Grubbs is slowly beginning to understand this OCD part of my being, and he is a good sport about it.

So here are the latest additions to the Grubbs' house:

A new rug for the living room. Our previous one was soft and fuzzy on your feet but it caught tons of crumbs. So we have added this gorgeous brown rug with orange and gold vintage inspired designs. P.S.- Orange is my new favorite color!

I have also added a new arrangment to the floating shelf above our TV. I found these fun, coral frames at Pier 1 (a place that isn't always my favorite, but I find some funky stuff every now and then). Again, Mr. Grubbs has a great sense of style himself, but I think I scare him sometimes with the items and ideas I come up with. Compromise, compromise, and more compromise. Along with the frames I added 2 vases of colorful fruit since our walls are a dark bronze they needed a pop of color. Then my father-in-law's flag is fittingly paired with a gold sailboat- he was a Naval Seal.

Your home should be another expression of you, and we are always evolving, so your home should too! I feel a renewed love for my home and I can't wait to add more stuff, sorry Mr. Grubbs!
