I have grown tired of this area rug. It has served its purpose, and is starting to show signs of wear and tear aound the edges. Also, the more I hear the girls here sharing their love for transitional decorating, I have decided that maybe I should expand my thinking, and change a few traditional items for transitional. So, I began my search.

The treasure hunt went on for weeks. That was okay with me, because like all good hunters I find pleasure in the hunt itself. I am always confident that as long as I continue the quest I will eventually find the item for which I am searching. The thrill of the find is well worth the time!

So while on another hunting excursion I did a flip through the rugs hanging on the back wall at HG, and there it was. The perfect size, stripes that included every color in my great room, and a lush soft shag. I am thrilled. I love the way it defines and fills the space, and updates the look.

Now, I am all set for my Thanksgiving gathering next week. I know many of us update our homes for holiday entertaining. I would love to hear about some of the changes you have made. If you would like to add a photo that would be great,too. So, enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and all of the preparations for your visits with family and friends in the coming weeks.
