Look what finally arrived! It’s pretty cool to have my piano in my house again – I’ve been picking tunes out all day. And I’m really looking forward to playing Christmas carols in a few weeks (and may have placed my Christmas sheet music at the top of the pile already).
The Purple side won!
Thanks to all who voted!
Plans will soon be in the works to have the piano moved, so stay tuned to see the finished product!
Forget politics, I’m talking home decor-ics!
The rug I chose for our piano corner has arrived. But now I can’t decide which side should be “up.” Technically, there’s a “right” side and a “wrong” side, but in my opinion, it works either way.
Which do you like best?
[Please try your best to imagine an oak-colored piano sitting atop the rug!]
Predominantly Purple:
Considerably Cream:

As mentioned in my List-O-Mania post, one “to-do” item is to have my piano moved from my parent’s house to our house.
the piano will go here, up against the stairs in our family room
But before we can do that, we need a rug to go underneath it.
I was originally planning to bind a leftover swatch of our carpeting. I figured this would do a good enough job. And it would be free. (well sort of; the carpet would be free but we’d still have to pay to have it bound). But the more I thought about it, the more I doubted that a carpet swatch was the way to go. Our carpeting is kind of a non-descript oatmeal-y color (as you can see above on the stairs). Perfectly neutral for the rest of our home, but maybe the piano deserves more pizzazz.
But now I was stumped. What type of rug should I look for? What would go best with the room? How could we add a little pop of color or pattern without overwhelming the rest of the room?
Until one day, when I found this beauty in a Land of Nod catalogue!
It’s the perfect size (4′ x 6′).
It’s woven.
It’s purple.
… and the kicker…
It’s reversible!
And it’s on it’s way to our house now! FedEx – please get my little lavender beauty here safe and sound!
