West Elm Pillows



One of the quickest ways to give a living room a fresh new look, is as simple as swapping out the sofa pillows.   Since we updated the living room this past year with a brand new white sofa, I have been on the hunt for some fabulous pillows to liven things up a bit!


   
This picture was taken right after we made the switch from the old sofa to our new friend Karl.
While I like the pillows on the sofa they really were never intended to stay there.  I originally bought the black and white pillows from Pottery Barn for a bench in my bedroom.   However,  when we bought the sofa  I just felt with all the white in the room it needed just a little something!  Just because I don't think I've ever mentioned it before, our current apartment does not allow us to paint!  Yikes!  I know, isn't that awful!  Mainly because I love the look of dark wall with all white furniture!  That's my dream, gorgeously painted walls, dark wood floor and white furniture! Ah well, a girl can dream can't she?!   Anyway, just thought I'd share one of the reasons I needed to get more color in the room!  
Anywhoooo, now that I've gotten off topic a little bit, I have been meaning to swap out the pillows for the longest time. 

  The black and white pillows haven't been completely on there own, you can tell in the above photo,  I've added a few new navy a turquoise pillows to brighten everything up.  
Are you wondering where this is all going?!?  Well I popped on over to West Elm's website yesterday and found out they were having a pillow sale! Yay!
 I think I found the perfect pillows to finally replace the black and white ones!

Here's what I ordered!





I think both of these are going to look perfect with my navy and turquoise pillows I already have!

I am thinking about getting one last pillow to tie it all together!


I love adding different metallic's to my living spaces,  I guess you can say I have a thing for shiny things!
So what do you all think,  should I go for the last pillow to finish the look, or is that silvery grey just not your thing?!

Waiting....

Patience, patience....  
Sometimes redecorating is not always super fun, sometimes it's just plain....a downer..... 
 You see, I ordered my West Elm Safari rug last week, you know the one I wrote about here! I have been sooooooo anxiously waiting for this baby!   Well it practically shipped the next a day, and in just less than a week I was unwrapping it hoping to get it all set up in the living room.   I was SOOO excited!!   As I unrolled it I noticed a ton of loops sticking up all over the place, I wasn't too happy about that, but really I could just trim them and nobody would ever know!  However,  I noticed on one edge of the rug the binding
 ( the part holding the top and bottom of the rug together) was coming completely apart!  In fact several inches were just plain not staying together!  

Ugh! 
 So I contacted the nice people at West Elm, they apologized and it seems they have taken care of everything.  I am to receive a return kit, get it all wrapped up, then UPS will come pick it up for me!  Once that happens they will ship out another rug for me!  Only the safari rug is currently on back order.  Sigh....I guess I will just have to have a little patience! 







So here she sits until I receive that return kit and get it all wrapped up!

Well, at least I know I LOVE the rug in my space!

A Walk on the Wild Side!


I will be walking on the wild side soon!
  Because the uber-soft, ultra glam West Elm Safari Rug should be delivered to my apartment in about a week! 
YAY!
Here's the little bit of wild that will be added to my living room just as soon as it arrives!

 I am just too excited for words!  I have been dreaming about this ivory and platinum rug perfection forever!  Well maybe not forever, but you know what I mean, when you absolutely LOVE something!
Anyway you may remember seeing it when I posted about my Living Room Mood Board and the list of items I needed to get or DIY for the room!


I have an aversion to paying shipping when I order things online, and don't have a West Elm store near me.
So I have been patiently waiting until the next time we needed to make a trip to Ikea, as there is one somewhat near my Ikea.  Just in case your wandering the closest Ikea is three and a half hours away, so we really have to plan the whole run to Ikea out!

BUT yesterday I received an email from West Elm letting me know that all their rugs were 20% off!!!
WooHOO!!
 Seriously people!  These things NEVER go on sale, and you CAN NOT find a coupon code for West Elm, it's impossible!! I mean seriously impossible, have you tried?!?
I did, and people are actually selling them on Ebay!  Yes Ebay!  I mean come on!!
Anyway.....enough of my rant!....
The Safari Rug really was a good price to begin with only $250 for a 5x8 wool rug!  I just didn't want to pay for shipping, but the 20% off more than took care of that, as well as the tax AND a little something off the top!
So sometime next week my little piggies will be walking all over this beauty!
I can't wait!!
If you've got your eye on a rug from West Elm I would grab it this weekend!  I don't know how long the sale will last!  They also have some great throw pillows on sale as well!  And I do have a coupon code for sale stuff, it's take15.  Clearly giving you 15% off sale items, but I'm not sure how long that is going to last either!  It worked yesterday for me on things in their sale section!  But nothing that was a promotion sale, like the rugs!

I hope you all are enjoying a great festive weekend!
Anyone going anyplace fabulous?!?
Or planning to scout the sales that will be happening this weekend?!?
I will be hanging out with my sister, brother-in-law, and my two favorite little nephews!
Oh and of course Josh too!
Anywhoooo!  I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

West Elm Love.


Operation organization 2011 has begun!
  However, I have to admit I was regretting my resolution to get organized this year when I started cleaning out my linen closet/art/laundry closet!  ugh!  Organization is just not my thing, which is one reason I needed to make this resolution, and one reason I'm kicking myself for making it!  I need to find some shelves and a few more bins and then I will share my results!
In the mean time I have been dreaming of a new living room and found some things I LOVE at West Elm!

I LOVE this new rug!






Maybe I'll have room for this gorgeous lamp, if not I have some ideas for a gorgeous DIY pendant lamp!




Have you all looked at West Elm lately?  What are some of your favs!?!
