One Room Challenge: Week Four

How quickly the ORC Week Four has arrived. It's like here I am, minding my own business and suddenly I have to have some HUGE update to report for week four. Well folks, I hate to tell you but I just have a minor update to report today. Ok minor but also pivotal, ok? I got a new rug for the space. You, and my clients, are fully aware of my obsession with kilim rugs. So naturally, go kilim or go home in my office space. So this is what happened...
Remember where we were before...blah blah blah. 
And how far we have come. I have to say, I am digging the pink kilim rug. It is sooo me. And Stella mentioned it is also soooo her. Stella has quite the obsession with kilims as well. Girl won't leave this rug and she insists on rolling all over it to cover it in her scent. Maybe she is trying to conceal some goat aroma from a far away land. I mean you never know with Stella. She is secretly protecting the family at all times. 
So the desk is in atrocious shape right now, loves. But I am keeping it real. It is what I will tackle next. Organization can be the prettiest. 
You know the drill. Check out my equally crazy peers that are plugging along with me in this challenge. When you guys hear "challenge," does anyone else's mind go directly to the Cosby Show with Bill Cosby challenging Rudy's tap instructor to a tap off? If you do not know what I am talking about, you should. Fine, I will indulge you. You twisted my arm. I am Bill Cosby in this scenario. About 4:30 into the video is where I am at right now. You're welcome.

    LURVE the rug! Great pick. PS- Wilma is totally like Stella about certain things. I put these new horn knobs on my filing cabinet and she was all on them like a bad smell (or she thought they smelled like the animal they came off of, I dont know). And then with my overdyed rug, she thought it was a serious persian mule that I brought home for her to play with. Funny what these girls know...
