Thank you for that. I was enjoying your traditional post and noticed the lovely sisal rugs you have. May I ask where you purchased them? Thank You, Rebecca. Hi Rebecca. Speaking of Sisal rugs… Do they shed? Do they get really dusty underneath? Do they have an odor? How do they hold up to vacuuming? Hi Kaern, yes sisal rugs do shed and they shed from the bottom too. I vacuum often so this is not a problem. Mine hold up to lots of traffic and vacuuming.
I think it really depends on the sisal weave and exact material. Some hold up better than others. Some sisal rugs do have an odor but it will go ways quickly. Yvonne, I took your advice and purchased your sissal rug! I cannot wait to get it! I am going to use it on my hardwood floor in my Master Bedroom!
I will try to email you some pictures! Thanks for the encouragement! I hope you love it, Beth! Every once in awhile vacuum under the rug. The fibers break and make dust. Other than that they are wonderful! Thank you, Yvonne, for finally helping me identify my style of decorating!
For a long time, I have tried to fit my style into one or more categories that look something like my home and style, but none of them seemed quite right for me. I have a French Provencial dining room set, coffee table, and end tables. My sofa is more on the modern side, although it is probably 15 years old now a Craigslist purchase I love. I love French street scenery prints, and quirky modern art. Thanks again for clarifying this style for me. My sofas have a camel back and rolled arms but are covered in a pale taupe leather.
My colours are taupe, cream and some bronze for contrast. My decorations are big. Not a bunch of littles cluttering up my coffee table, mantel or console.

We are doing some updates to our 25 year old colonial. They are about 15 years old and I know bedrooms are now a more eclectic collection instead of matchy, matchy. We still like our furniture so in addition to a new mattress we have all new lighting — 5 lighting sources, ranging from a pair of transitional lamps on the dresser, a lamp on the nightstand, and a more contemporary styled accent lamp on the armoire. We also added a more contemporary reading light and new alarm clock to a new brushed brass and glass night table on the other side of the bed.
