Redesigning spaces on a budget
One of my favorite tips that I use when redesigning spaces on a budget, is to layer area rugs. Many of us have an area rug that we love that is too small; there is no need to part with, you can give it new life and save funds by layering it over a larger rug. For this purpose I recommend a flat woven jute, cotton, or sisal rug. Rugs of this material are very affordable in larger sizes, are durable, and are neutral enough to showcase your more colorful or patterned rug as shown below. Give it a try!

Selecting an area rug
Selecting an area rug for a bedroom can be a daunting task. You want to consider the size, texture, and type of mood you want to create. Below, I selected a photo of a bedroom done in a neutral palette. In the original photo, a sisal rug is used to add texture; however, a sisal rug is not as soft as a wool rug, so if you walk around bare foot, you may not want sisal or jute. I included other examples of rugs that would also look great in the space, a graphic gray and ivory patterned rug with a thick wool pile, and colorful tribal rug with a lower profile. Any one of these would work; it just depends on what mood you want to create. And lastly, selecting the right size is important. If you have a small room, you could use a runner at the foot or sides of the bed, a medium size room would need an 8x10 or 9X12 to frame the bed, and a larger room would need rugs of various sizes scattered throughout.
Selecting the right Area Rug
This week's Daily Dose is about selecting the right Area Rug. There are no hard and fast rules about color, it is more about selecting the right size, weight, and dimension for your space.
Tonight, I want to address the most common question I get; "Can I put and area rug on top of carpet?" The answer is "YES". In fact, I encourage it if you have plain, low pile wall to wall carpeting. In this example, you can see how the texture and pattern of this rug fills the vast flatness of the wall to wall carpet and adds much needed dimension. When you place an area rug over carpet, you just want to make sure it is thick and heavy so that it lays flat and stands up to activity; also, add a rug pad specifically for between area rugs and carpets, this will help extend the life of both your area rug and carpet.

How to attach wallpaper to a fireplace
Today I wallpapered the fireplace in a charcoal gray textured paper. I wanted to use a paper with vertical stripes to give the allusion of more height and a taller ceiling. In addition, the texture adds warmth as we are not able to hang drapes. This particular paper is hung by sizing the drywall first, then when dry, spreading paste directly to the wall. This technique allows for easy shifting of the paper to ensure it is level. To try this at home, look for "paste the wall" wallpaper, I ordered this style from, Graham and Brown 
they have many colors and textures to choose from. Up next, tile!

Fireplace Face Lift
The Fireplace Face lift project continues! After the cinder block was leveled out for tile. The Contractor bolted 1X2's to the cinder block to build out a base for the drywall. He then faced the fireplace with drywall, creating a facade about 3 inches deep. It is now ready for wallpaper!
