Function vs. Aesthetics

 I am usually guilty of being on the aesthetic side of this argument most of the time.

Be it pretty but painful shoes, or a striking chair that feels like you have a rod up your back when you sit on it for more than 5 minutes- 

I will champion for the visually pleasing always.

But sometimes I just have to wave the white flag too.

I have been trying to make my shaggy Beni rug work in my office for a week now.

The poor thing has been in every room of my house practically!

Its just really thick, sheds like a German Shepard and my office doors jam on it as do my chairs. 

So after the 10th time of getting tangled up in it, I had enough.

 This morning I ran down to the basement and dragged this tribal dhurrie into my office:

Despite the the fact that I was loving a pink and yellow office, I do like the pink/reds/rusts thing happening.  So much so, I even committed by painting  my lamps a burnt red too...

 Of, and for those of you asking about how the wrapping paper/ wallpaper was going...

its up...

Two words:

Spray adhesive.

worked like a charm, and allowed me to reposition

- just do it outside b/c it makes you high as a kite, therefore I forgot to take how to pictures- 

I sprayed the backside of the paper, not the wall, and just smoothed it on.

I will get back to you on how easy it is to take down or paint the walls under it when I get bored and change it in about 6 months. 

In the mean time here is my new color inspiration from my Pinterest to finish this bitch up:

Reds, pinks, oranges and burgundyness

See, not done:

 my desk area/wall is looking lonely and sad and quite unruly

(thinking major art wall and heavy organizing.)

off to work now
