A few weeks ago we ordered a rug for our living room. Zack and I have never lived in an all-hardwood floor house before, so bare floors is definitely new for us. We found a neutral shag rug for our bedroom but were still looking for something in the living room. Until a few weeks ago :]
The rug arrived over the weekend, along with a handful of smaller packages {fabric, yes!}, and Zack put everything in my studio… I went in there late Sunday evening and noticed the giant roll. He had confused the rug “roll” as a roll of home decor fabric :] Hah! {What? This isn’t normal?}
Here’s our new rug — along with some pics of Bauer.
See his mowhawk?
Funny stories:
– I “caught” Bauer under our bed today; He was crawling around under there. I couldn’t figure out what he was doing until I realized he couldn’t see how/where to get out. Our bed skirt is brown and it was dark under there, ha ha!!! Poor puppy.
– My mom told my our nephew Collin {5.5 years old} to come to the computer so they could watch a video of Bauer online. He said, What dot com do we go to?
Do you have nieces/nephews? What cute things do they say that melt your heart?
I love it!!!
That puppy melts my heart. Keep the Bauer pics coming!!
Is he named for Jack Bauer? I mean…I had to ask. I heart Jack Bauer.
love the rug! love the pup!
When I was pregnant our nephew told everyone I swallowed a baby!
The best thing about hardwood floors is that if you put some socks on your feet and get a good running start, you can slide across the room. (You know, like skateboard/snowboard style.) The thicker and cushier the socks, the better you’ll slide. I grew up in a hardwood floored house. Just looking at your pictures here makes me want to slide…. :)
aww your house looks SO amazing. I really miss our all-hardwood floors and wood-burning fireplace…especially during Autumn!! Enjoy it, your house looks so cozy especially with a little dog curled up in front of the fireplace ((swoon!))

That rug looks great in your living room. Bauer is so cute!
BTW~ what type of camera do you use? I’m asking for one for birthday/Christmas & your photos always look great.
BTW2~I wore one of my Gussy headbands over the weekend & of course got compliments on it! Always!
yeay! It got there!! :)
Bauer is just adorable!! What a great addition to the Gussy family!
How cute is Bauer?! <3 the new rug. Your house looks so hip and fun.

love the rug and your pretty floors and the mohawk – he and Jack look alike
xo
Oh, Bauer is SO cute! And I love that rug, too. :)
I don’t have any nieces/nephews personally, but the sweetheart has a nephew & 5 nieces – I always tell him I’m excited to be an aunt when we get married. They’re all so cute and fun!
Love the rug, we are planning on ripping up our carpet soon and I am hoping our floors look as good as yours do underneath. It’s so funny how much our homes look alike! Bauer is too cute! My nephew is almost 17, so when he says “I love you” to me that melts my heart!
Have a lovely day!
xoxo~Meg
your rug looks awesome, especially with some puppy goodness on it:)
he is so freakin’ cute. i also love your video with him!!!! Polo would love a playmate. Wish we lived closer. :)gina
don’t you love having hardwood floors?? it looks so roomy in there! i like the new rug! (and the new pup, he is so darling)
p.s. did you know that joel and i have a niece now?? we are finally going to meet her this weekend :)
You have totally done what I want to do: stayed neutral with pops of color! It looks great.
We have ceramic tile throughout the living area; and I finally gave in about a month ago and got an area rug – definitely the biggest investment since I bought my car. lol.
The rug looks great. I love the turquoise chair by the way! And I really want to give Bauer a hug. He’s adorable! :)
Love the rug and the cute puppy!
I love your new rug, it looks perfect for the space! We have hardwood floors in our main living space as well, I love the look. I actually do have a niece that is two years old, she’s my sister’s daughter. Whenever I call my sister I can hear my niece in the background shouting, “I wanna talk to Auntie!” She’ll keep saying she wants to talk to me until she gets the phone, Of course as soon as she gets on she’s silent… haha! Kids are the best!
When my nephew Zac was not yet two, he did not know how to say he was hungry, so he would say “ya, my tummy, it quwack wike a duck” in the saddest little voice – sooooo cute!!! Almost as cute as Bauer, with those sweet eyes!
awww.. cute story about bauer & your nephew. my nephew, preston, is like my little baby. he was the first grandbaby. when i was pregnant in 2009, this was the conversation i had with my nephew:
me: “Preston, guess what?!? Aunt JJ is going to be a mommy!!”
Preston: “No, you not mommy, you just Aunt JJ.”
me: “That’s right, Preston.. I’m just Aunt JJ.”
;-)
Love your rug! My favorite pic is the one with Baure barking…cute!
I don’t have any nieces or nephews (yet!) but I do have 3 year old twins and a 2 year old! They always keep my husband and I laughing!
The latest fave…
Me: โEvelynn! Did you hit your sister?!?
Evelynn: Yes
Me: What do you say to her?
Evelynn: Um, your welcome?
I love your living room couch/chair. I can’t help it – they’re my fav.
Bauer is just the cutest little puppy! Or little puppy loves to hang out under our bed too. Although he tends to steal underwear (everyones) and hide them under there. Not cool.
I have been looking for a chair just like this for my black white and sievlr bedroom. I haven’t been able to locate anywhere. I looked online and have not been able to find. I was going to have one custom made and ordered from Indonesia. All the pieces in my bedroom are from HomeGoods but for some reason every HomeGoods I go to I can’t find something like this. If anyone sees in the NJ/ NY area please post. I would greatly appreciate it.
