Thrifty Decor Chick: Our warm and cozy family room

Since the beginning of August, Ive been cravin some warm colors around here. Have I mentioned fall is my favorite time of year? A few times? Well, here I go one. more. time. 🙂

The warm colors of fall make my heart go pitter pat. Theyre just sowell, warm. Ah DUH. Im a wordsmith you know. 😉

Ive never been one to really change out my decor for the seasons I mean, I decorate for fall and the holidays and all that good stuff, but Ive never changed out drapes, pillows, beddingall the bigger items.

But like I said, its August and Im trying with all my might to hold off on putting the pumpkins out. Youd be proud of me Im determined to hold off till September. (September 1st, but whatev.)

So I figured I could cozy up the joint with a few changes but I wanted to make sure theyd work into the winter, spring and summer as well by making just a few changes when the time comes.

I was on a mission -- make our family room warm and cozy and fallish without necessarily being fallish. Just a schosh of warm. A leeetle bit of cozy. Just a smooch. Like youre kissin your sister. (Name that movie!)

My first goal was to find a new rug. I got a new one back in January, but it was very spring/summery:

It was also way to small for this room. I layered a larger rug underneath it, but as time went on, it still wasnt feeling big enough. And then Pee Cat struck again (CURSES!!! She owes me big time cash!!) and we needed to replace the big rug anyway.
