OVER THE MOON GIDDY WITH DELIGHT.......



Anyone who knows me....knows I'm certainly NOT a minimalist....with color or with my home.  I have been looking for a rug to incorporate into my living room...it seems like FOREVER.  Anyway....finally found one I adore!!!


Ordered this Persian  on-line from One King's Lane....rugs can be tricky...and ordering them over the internet can really turn out to be a nightmare...but as I said....I could not be happier. Love the color, love the design and it is just enough color in the middle of my room. A large coffee table normally goes on top of it....but I wanted to show you the design of the rug clearly, so took these shots without the table in place. Oh and the best part is the rug was marked down half-price.

Needed a pop of color on that traditional rug of ours and this one fits the bill.
~~~
BTW......here is a shot of my studio.....where I can be creative from time to time...when I'm not messing with dogs....teehee.


You can see how that rug I just purchased would fit right in with my funky/eclectic decor.


Let's all go have a colorful weekend.

Smiles from me to you.

Jo

  2. Love the rug, and the pattern is unique sort of southwest, sort of art deco, sort of Parisian. Good job! When are you heading north?

  3. Gosh, you have such a beautiful home. That rug is lovely. We just bought an area rug for our living room same color scheme, but immediately Miss Minga went and started clawing it, so it has been removed to the bedroom where she is, for some reason, fearful to enter. Have a great weekend.

  17. love your home, love your studio, eclectic and color splash and earthy blend. so alice in wonderland.

    thank you, for sharing.

    we were in Marksville, Lousiana, at the Paragon Casino RV Resort, owned by the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe. All of this is on their reservation. We do not gamble, we rather like a sure thing. We are now just north of Natchitoches, La. Leaving for Texrcana Thursday.

    hope you are well and happy. kisses and hugs to the new fur baby.

  18. Dear Jo, Love the eclectic style! I am a huge fan of funky, spirited colorful oddities..no matchy matchy stuff for me..although many can make it work well..I have tried that, and find it boring. Now your lovely home...oh it's so inviting, always something new to catch your eye, a subtle twinkle here and there, a pop of color next to a rustic piece.. a Persian rug..paired next to a sofa filled with colorful throws, and pillows..beautiful!! What enormous style you have! Love it! You are a woman of many talents, writing, photography, gardening, thrift store treasure finding, decorator, artist, hostess..you can do it all, you probably even sing and dance! (smiles)xoxo Christel

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
