Has your living room been decorated the same way for over a year? {2 years? 5?!?!}

I just finished a Tumblr blog theme for the adorable, and almost-too-thin-to-be-my-friend, Georgina. She lives in New York and is using her blog to showcase fashion trends from the Big Apple! Georgina and I had a connection from the start, and have had fun getting to know each other long-distance.
Check out her {pimped-out} blog at [...]

Just found a few of the rugs online, and it looks like the rugs might be affordable {In a “Pottery Barn is affordable” kind of way}.  I’m seeing the 5″x8″ at around $600-ish…
