Found in my garage - Oh Pinteresting Wednesday

Since I moved into my husband's condo after we got married, and he had been living there for 2 years prior he had a bunch of stuff collected in the garage, stuff I had no clue what was in there. I am one to really utilize the place that I am living at, you know enjoy where you live, enjoy the space that you call your home whether it is inside the home or int he backyard. For example that fire pit mentioned in a previous post has been collecting dust in the backyard since he moved in almost three years ago. I really wanted to use it so we cleaned it up and we have used it twice in one week, just sitting around with friends enjoying conversation and a fire. The other day, we had an electrician working on our panel and there was a chop block on wheels in the garage and lo and behold there was the most beautiful rug sitting on top of the chop block, 
again collecting dust.These rugs over at Ikea look very similar and I have the greenish color rug
So I promptly pulled that rug out and have started to redecorate our living room
area based on that rug, is that silly? Redecorating based on a single item?
It is entirely ok if you think so :-) Using that rug has brought me to this week's Oh Pinteresting board and the inspirations I am using on how to redecorate my place. I am linking up over at The Vintage Apple and the oh so much fun Oh Pinteresting Wednesday.

And to accompany such a great living room, you need some tremendous flowers and my current flower love is the peony. These arrangements would be perfect to sit on an end table or be centerpiece on a coffee table.

That's not silly at all! I think the rug looks great, and you should take pictures when it's all done so we can see your great work!!

Flowers are always gorgeous in any room. I'm loving all those peonies--I never used to like them, but we have a bush in our backyard and I'm really starting to love how beautiful they are. Whenever I get married, I want a bouquet of pink gerber daisies, pink roses, and pink peonies :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Peonies!!
They were out of season for our wedding, so we got cabbage roses instead. They are equally beautiful but don't carry that lovely scent that peonies do!

and when did I become so knowledgeable about flowers? silly weddings...
