Spring Break Swimwear for Kids

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Have y'all had your Spring Break yet?  Ours just started, and over the weekend we did a little family get-together at our house with an old fashioned hamburger and hotdog bbq, and ended the evening with roasted marshmallows and firecracker snappers.  Just being around family and taking it easy, enjoying each other and the kiddos after a roller coaster of emotions was really nice.  And, after talking it over with our family, we agreed to continue with the short ski trip we planned months ago.    It will be James' first airplane ride too and he cannot wait! I think the time away will do us good.  Grandpa would like that. </div><br /><br><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixhStyfgwyQKN_YKcCo09GuqMHAdvQ-xpqCg9QM9eCaRSdldNfg39Kf7Re95iKhDN1sTHK0u1ayLSXghYu0ANqhc_Qy8Ch_G0tWQHfIvcuN7CoQJzCSwXQ75C8j1vUIyK56-Hap2o65qIv/s1600/Spring+Break+Honey+We're%2BHome.118.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixhStyfgwyQKN_YKcCo09GuqMHAdvQ-xpqCg9QM9eCaRSdldNfg39Kf7Re95iKhDN1sTHK0u1ayLSXghYu0ANqhc_Qy8Ch_G0tWQHfIvcuN7CoQJzCSwXQ75C8j1vUIyK56-Hap2o65qIv/s1600/Spring+Break+Honey+We're%2BHome.118.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1DikLxp" target="_blank">shirt</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1Dil3UZ" target="_blank">shorts</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1OOiOM7" target="_blank">sandals</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br><br /><br><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2015/03/spring-break-swimwear-for-kids.html#more">Read more »</a>

Big Hugs & Motorcycles

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />With a grateful heart, I have read every message and comment you've left, sympathizing with me over the loss of my Dad.  It was a long, hard fight and he did us proud.  So many of you have also lost a parent or other family member and I'm struck by how much the same our pain is, no matter where in the world we are, or what our life circumstances.  We can relate to each other through the life experiences that we share.  I actually thought twice about sharing that my Dad died.  I know most people read blogs for inspiration and pretty things, but such a monumental life event will shape me  forever and therefore, my blog that reflects me. <br><br /><br><br /></div><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2015/03/big-hugs-motorcycles.html#more">Read more »</a>

Hope your weekend was good to you and you're starting the week off feeling fresh and ready to go.  Most Mondays find me super ambitious to tackle everything on my to-do list, but also dragging, wishing for just one more day of weekend, hence the need for two cups of coffee to get me going.  Can you relate?!  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />The calendar says Spring is here, although most of the country is still cold and so ready for a reprieve from jackets and boots.

Weekend Steals & Deals

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />And we're off to the start of the weekend!  What are you up to? On our agenda is a shrimp boil at our friends' house, kids double birthday party, and weekend dinner at my parents' house.  In Texas, lots of people love crawfish boils, but growing up in California and Ohio, I've never gotten into the crawfish thing.  They are called "mud bugs" for a reason.  #notafan  I'm happy our friends opted for a shrimp boil instead! As for the kids' birthday, this will be the second time parents have combined two friends birthdays into one party and I think it's a great idea.  This one is scheduled for the playground at the park; I hope the weather cooperates.  Last weekend was full of sunshine, but it's been rainy, rainy the past couple days.  I've been dressing in my 'mom uniform' lately lots of denim, tanks and tees. </div><br /><br><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">weekend steals</span> <span style="color: #ea9999;">&</span> <span style="color: #e06666;">deals</span></span><br><br /><b style="color: #444444; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1pOuFQ5" style="color: #ff9999; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">NORDSTROM</a></b><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">:  </span><b style="color: #444444; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">Earn Triple Points this weekend, March 18-22.</b><span style="color: #444444; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;"> </span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTig7Xy7hGf_l-20iMOx_3TGaHa4Dbmjg1DEhkC4i_m2SX0pk2eahqSJeRCLX8XOxKYt8GA4jnKiLLNblWi9hBR0GPy4w_lXBIye3ASomkwph7AJvtOAbayRPGjON1KzrTzY3iWMs7L9cz/s1600/White+Tee+Honey+We're%2BHome%2BCollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTig7Xy7hGf_l-20iMOx_3TGaHa4Dbmjg1DEhkC4i_m2SX0pk2eahqSJeRCLX8XOxKYt8GA4jnKiLLNblWi9hBR0GPy4w_lXBIye3ASomkwph7AJvtOAbayRPGjON1KzrTzY3iWMs7L9cz/s1600/White+Tee+Honey+We're+Home+Collage.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/17BqsrC" target="_blank">My 'Very Favorite Tee'</a> (regular & petite, other colors/stripes) $25 <i>note</i>: I found it runs large, I'm wears XXSP here and have another one in XSP and it fits too, just a tad longer | <a href="http://bit.ly/1ElEWoA" target="_blank">initial necklace</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/19fAeRE" target="_blank">jeans</a> (unavailable, but see <a href="http://bit.ly/1CcF2DQ" target="_blank">other distressed jeans on this post</a>) | jean shorts (<a href="http://bit.ly/1C2PQ5x" target="_blank">white</a>) mine are from last year, hopefully GAP will carry them again because they are probably the single-most worn thing in my closet (<a href="http://bit.ly/1ObBeWD" target="_blank">these are similar</a>)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2015/03/weekend-steals-deals_20.html#more">Read more »</a>

Painted Closet Walls | DIY Thibaut Tanzania Wallpaper

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />When I <a href="http://bit.ly/1EtEsiV" target="_blank">cleaned out and organized my closet</a>, I decided to do something funky to the walls.

Wardrobe Wednesday | Spring Break Swimwear

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />What comes first: the bathing suit or the warm weather?!  Over here, its the bathing suit!  I've got the <a href="http://bit.ly/1Eucdkc" target="_blank">cutest new bikini</a> picked out, now I just need the temperatures to cooperate or someone to whisk me off to a sunny location (preferably with swim-up bar service and umbrella drinks!) Oh a girl can dream.  We are off for Spring Break soon and although we're going skiing, I'm sure the hot tub will be calling my name after some time on the slopes. I've only been skiing once (like 10 years ago), but I do recall my legs being so sore after a couple days. Even if you think you're in good shapes, those hills have no mercy on your legs!

Top 10 Organization Challenge | Master Closet

Wardrobe Wednesday - Seeing Red

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I'm kinda red obsessed lately.  Ever since my girlfriend Audrey encouraged me to wear red lipstick when we were on a girls trip celebrating her birthday, I've been hooked on the color.  I was wearing a grey and white dress and she was sure my pale lips weren't doing it justice, so with my other friends' chiming in in agreement, I wiped off the pink and put on the red.  After the initial uneasiness about fearing your lips are screaming, "look at me!", I started to really dig it.  This just goes to show that it's good to get out of our comfort zones and try something new once in a while.  Even if it's just our own comfy 'fashion' zone.  </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkbIbfZhNuhh53frwCctrjg1lfIK4hafD_ReDYB92HKe-Jcasg0_49u-DslvNQx8dEbINGqxnZd80K7mQohdfr92I1xPxs7BB76Hwpov-6hMkeVk5RPv4UMdm1fmw_84Ps9Puq9kx5cBxX/s1600/red+camisole+Honey+We're%2BHome%2B(1%2Bof%2B9).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkbIbfZhNuhh53frwCctrjg1lfIK4hafD_ReDYB92HKe-Jcasg0_49u-DslvNQx8dEbINGqxnZd80K7mQohdfr92I1xPxs7BB76Hwpov-6hMkeVk5RPv4UMdm1fmw_84Ps9Puq9kx5cBxX/s1600/red+camisole+Honey+We're%2BHome%2B(1%2Bof%2B9).jpg"></a></div><br /><br><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg718-CiG0ZwU0ej5d1A6YrPbkaJEO_L7AW0AZyJSZG2nHZ65b0nIpXO3qnn9ItsSXUsw3IDfbPUGVfKxIkVjX7hSznrKeJuDvtWidNR-bfU83CXBIzItP19fAV_kDeWFy01Ydslh6JhEsS/s1600/red+camisole+Honey+We're%2BHome%2B(8%2Bof%2B9).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg718-CiG0ZwU0ej5d1A6YrPbkaJEO_L7AW0AZyJSZG2nHZ65b0nIpXO3qnn9ItsSXUsw3IDfbPUGVfKxIkVjX7hSznrKeJuDvtWidNR-bfU83CXBIzItP19fAV_kDeWFy01Ydslh6JhEsS/s1600/red+camisole+Honey+We're%2BHome%2B(8%2Bof%2B9).jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1AwWTTk" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">Red Camisole</a> (XS) | <a href="http://bit.ly/1AVCpVN" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">strapless convertible bra</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1MrmLUG" target="_blank">legging jeans</a> | earrings <a href="http://bit.ly/189ZnMi" target="_blank">(similar)</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1EyuYWd" target="_blank">watch</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1C5fto8" target="_blank">necklace </a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2015/03/wardrobe-wednesday-seeing-red.html#more">Read more »</a>

24 Grey Rug Options

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />This weekend was filled to the brim celebrating our now 5-year old!  I know all parents feel this way, but we are just so proud of him and delighting in the person he is becoming.  Since I stay home, I'm grateful to have lots of time spent with him and made sure to include him on every decision for his party, down to the favor gifts he'd give to his friends that came to his party.  I love getting his input and hearing his opinion on things. And who knows better what gifts other 5-year olds would enjoy than another 5 year old?!  Though this particular birthday pulled hard at my heartstrings, <a href="https://instagram.com/p/z_XoQEyLXW/?modal=true" target="_blank">we all survived</a>! <br><br /><br><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />___________</div><br /></div><br /><br><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I feel like I'm going cross-eyed looking for a grey rug for our <a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2012/02/new-upholstered-bed-bedding.html" target="_blank">master bedroom</a>.  I've searched so many sites (and visited Homegoods), and the rugs were all starting to run together.  Many retailers also carry the same rugs, so I've been checking prices and size selection.  Lots of the rugs I found below would be good choices for our bedroom, but they aren't all available beyond 8x10.  I need about 9x11.  </div><br /><br><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />When purchasing a rug online, I'm careful to read the rug specifications/description so I know what material it's made of and the pile height.  Some of these are flat weave rugs, which I don't prefer the feel of on my feet, but other people love them.  Also, for instance, I really like #12 (first graphic), but it's indoor/outdoor.  That might be great for a breakfast room or other high traffic area, but not necessarily for the bedroom.  </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Of course, one of my favorites is #8 (first graphic), but it's the most expensive! Of course. :( Doesn't that always happen?! And #1 (first graphic) is also awesome, but too small for our space.  Choosing a rug feels like a big commitment because it then limits your bedding choices.  But, I'm ready to add another layer to our room and since I'm still fond of <a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2012/07/end-of-bed-bench-under-300.html" target="_blank">our bedding</a> after several years (and know I love a neutral bedroom), I want to finally choose one.  <b>Do you have a favorite? </b></div><br /><br><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypc2-pnRMpZ0nYIWgjRogSIXsmIw_mI1JqzyTkuLzBNunY8tCC0LAuqIrFGjPMhoHlwfHxF1J2mV-0OHuqQwoesMfBeHumZrMh37XZROfRCBJLZNz_cd3W2tNVF2dVT4GXkU7xeN4c6bd/s1600/Grey+Rug+Options+Roundup+Honey+We're%2BHome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgypc2-pnRMpZ0nYIWgjRogSIXsmIw_mI1JqzyTkuLzBNunY8tCC0LAuqIrFGjPMhoHlwfHxF1J2mV-0OHuqQwoesMfBeHumZrMh37XZROfRCBJLZNz_cd3W2tNVF2dVT4GXkU7xeN4c6bd/s1600/Grey+Rug+Options+Roundup+Honey+We're%2BHome.jpg"></a></div><br /><br><br /><br><br /><br><br /><br><br /><br><br /><br><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://www.jossandmain.com/Always-Appropriate-Serena-Rug~FEZY1445~E17808.html?keyword=area%2Brug" target="_blank">1</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1Nyk7hw" target="_blank">2</a> | <a href="https://www.jossandmain.com/Always-Appropriate-Fables-Rug~JCJ2194~E17808.html?class_id[]=167&sort=f" target="_blank">3</a> | <a href="http://bit.ly/1GwvKn5" target="_blank">4</a> | <a href="https://www.jossandmain.com/Always-Appropriate-Anabelle-Rug~YA25145~E17808.html?keyword=anabelle%2Brug" target="_blank">5</a> | <a href="https://www.jossandmain.com/Always-Appropriate-Utopia-Rug~LYH5121~E17808.html?keyword=utopia%2Brug" target="_blank">6</a> | <a href="https://www.jossandmain.com/Sink-Into-Comfort-Wiseman-Rug~LYH5256~E17804.html?keyword=wiseman%2Brug" target="_blank">7</a> | <a href="https://www.jossandmain.com/Always-Appropriate-Gregor-Rug~JPU8650~E17808.html?keyword=annabel%2Brug" target="_blank">8</a> | <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/safavieh-cht731/dark-grey-ivory/101CHT731D-10014.html" target="_blank">9</a> | <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/safavieh-bel446/grey-silver/101BEL446A-23012.html" target="_blank">10</a> | <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/safavieh-cam123/silver-ivory/101CAM123D-10014.html" target="_blank">11</a> | <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/safavieh-amt411e/ivory/101AMT411E-10014.html" target="_blank">12</a><br><br /><br><br /></div><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2015/03/24-grey-rug-options.html#more">Read more »</a>

24 Grey Rug Options

This weekend was filled to the brim celebrating our now 5-year old!  I know all parents feel this way, but we are just so proud of him and delighting in the person he is becoming.  Since I stay home, I'm grateful to have lots of time spent with him and made sure to include him on every decision for …

Wardrobe Wednesday - Running Exercise Clothes + Good Jog Bra

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Happy Wednesday y'all!  Today is a super special day because my son turns 5 today!  <a href="http://honeywerehome.blogspot.com/2012/03/james-age-2-photo-word-collage.html" target="_blank">Wasn't he just 2?!?! </a> Is it just me or does 5 suddenly feel very big-boy?  I'm a sappy mess, but flooded with love and pride for how special and wonderful our son is.  When I asked him if he wanted to stay 4 so he could always be my little baby, he said no, he wants to turn 5, but "I'll always be your little baby even when I get big."  Oh, yes, my son, truer words were never spoken!  And I plan to stay healthy and fit so I can keep up with this boy for many, many years to come.  </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Today, I teamed up with one of my favorite retailers, <a href="http://bit.ly/1AHRxAd" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a>, to share some of my favorite <a href="http://bit.ly/1AHRxAd" target="_blank">women's running clothes.</a>  Y'all know I love to workout, and I have discovered that good workout clothes make exercising that much better!  We're fortunate to have an awesome running trail not too far from our house that I visit often for a 3-mile jog.  I'll choose getting outside and running in the fresh air over being inside on the treadmill any day.  If I'm feeling particularly ambitious, I'll go twice around the loop, which makes 6 miles, but that isn't too often because I run slow! </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrE6uhyphenhyphenW4IHvD6B0IfnyptidqRu7NdJqRvSV9f17L0aU86XQj3yVq5jJSNia-1jqHYL-vJXpzcZa99kdL-tHdT57Ww4yA3HV0zi0n7OEPXzj2kxG5-97Bqk1A3K5LAGXBXJ_1qQhGBYNAO/s1600/running+workout+clothes+Honey+We're%2BHome%2B(11%2Bof%2B17).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrE6uhyphenhyphenW4IHvD6B0IfnyptidqRu7NdJqRvSV9f17L0aU86XQj3yVq5jJSNia-1jqHYL-vJXpzcZa99kdL-tHdT57Ww4yA3HV0zi0n7OEPXzj2kxG5-97Bqk1A3K5LAGXBXJ_1qQhGBYNAO/s1600/running+workout+clothes+Honey+We're%2BHome%2B(11%2Bof%2B17).jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />The first crucial piece of workout wear for running is a good, supportive <a href="http://bit.ly/1NfPoFJ" target="_blank">sports bra</a>.  If you've ever run without one, you know why!  This <a href="http://bit.ly/1DSm1US" target="_blank">Zella Heartbeat bra</a> is perfectly supportive and great for running.  I was surprised that it has a removable pad in the bust like a bikini top, but you can remove it or keep it if you want a fuller look.  The medium fit me perfectly. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrymC6yqD5D5D5RRzNplXhGqnepNozZCPPX0V2Ap-Bfb-PAKwg8TOgApobYaeqM139Ff46B8QIMX99z5IgfWYVomDD5Rbf7KkttITyRef0qTrT_VTpyYNRnxGsjALIVdX-6rGEK2M8RVaZ/s1600/Zella+Sports+bra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrymC6yqD5D5D5RRzNplXhGqnepNozZCPPX0V2Ap-Bfb-PAKwg8TOgApobYaeqM139Ff46B8QIMX99z5IgfWYVomDD5Rbf7KkttITyRef0qTrT_VTpyYNRnxGsjALIVdX-6rGEK2M8RVaZ/s1600/Zella+Sports+bra.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />This bra went on sale for 40% off since I purchased it, so I requested and received a price adjustment from Nordstrom.  I love that they do that! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2015/03/wardrobe-wednesday-running-exercise.html#more">Read more »</a>

Bedroom Rug Over Carpet

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I was browsing rug sources last night, looking for a rug to layer over the carpet in the master bedroom and came across some contenders on Lulu & Georgia and Joss & Main, but I still want to check out Homegoods and some other online retailers like RugsUSA, Target and Overstock before I pull the trigger.  I'll continue pinning my faves onto my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/honeywerehome/rug/" target="_blank">"rug" Pinterest board</a> if you want to check them out.  I still need to measure to see exactly the size we need, but our bed is a little over 7 feet wide, so I'm looking at  rugs at least 7'6 x 10'6.  I like to see lots of rug beyond the actual bed. </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Below is a cool graphic illustrating how different rug sizes will look with a king bed.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2IQYnyQuswwUkgxfJrFEqJ_TiPF2J5slP4STUSreJPK4lrAZqmmhyphenhyphen2FUSlD7EbLiFFxejjRCzJDff7MyKLFqsSyq3utvS8Fxm3cu4b6APjGSQvgUkg77S5aulDIEoPHlDpbLXY9DvEDbZ/s1600/Screenshot+2015-03-02+03.15.56.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2IQYnyQuswwUkgxfJrFEqJ_TiPF2J5slP4STUSreJPK4lrAZqmmhyphenhyphen2FUSlD7EbLiFFxejjRCzJDff7MyKLFqsSyq3utvS8Fxm3cu4b6APjGSQvgUkg77S5aulDIEoPHlDpbLXY9DvEDbZ/s1600/Screenshot+2015-03-02+03.15.56.png"></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://designwotcha.com/tips-tricks/numbers-behind-design/when-size-matters-in-the-bedroom" target="_blank">via The Design Wotcha</a></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br><br /></div><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2015/03/bedroom-rug-over-carpet.html#more">Read more »</a>
