* I partnered with Rugs USA for this post. While they provided the rug, all opinions and thoughts are my own.*
I shared a little sneak peak on Instagram the other day, but we have a new rug in the kitchen!
I haven’t shared much about from my kitchen lately, primarily because it’s always a mess. I love my island in so many ways, but it is the first thing to be piled high with everything that is in our arms as we walk through the door. And if it’s somewhat cleared off from all of that, it’s usually a craft zone for the kids, which I love. At least it’s pulling it’s weight around here!
Since we moved in, I always dreamed of having a runner for the kitchen that ran the length of the island. Our floor gets SO cold in the winter, so I needed a runner that had some warmth too it, and would be durable enough to hold up to this high traffic area.
I recently shared with you our new barn light pendant over the sink. I’ll share more next week, but I wrapped the cords on all our pendant lights in the kitchen with twine to bring in a little beachy vibe, but it also ties them all in together.
I had been looking at runners just about everywhere for the past few years, but nothing held up. I have always been impressed with the quality Rugs USA holds in their product. I’ve bought a few rugs from them myself, and they are also my go to for clients. You might remember but I used to have this very rug in our living room in navy blue, so I loved the pattern, but this time I opted for a more subtle hue. This color is their “Blue-Grey”, found here, it looks a bit more gray in these photos but it has the prettiest undertone of light blue mixed with gray. It’s the perfect pop in my very white and neutral kitchen. It doesn’t compete with the design, but rather compliments and completes the look. AND it is so warm!!
I also shared a little sneak peak on Instagram of my new drying rack (found here) courtesy of Painted Fox Treasures! It is the perfect addition to my farmhouse kitchen!
On instagram I showed it off holding our recycled drinking glasses, here you see it with my favorite mugs easy to grab for a warm cup of coffee, during these cold winter months.
p.s the muffins were gone as soon as my son got home from school! Baked goods don’t last too long around here 🙂
After lots and lots and lots of searching, I remembered I had used these same trellis runners in a clients home, and when I installed them I was dying inside because I loved them so much and was wishing it was my home!! HA HA. So when it came time to making a final decision I remembered how great they looked in my clients house, and they have held up great in her high traffic home.
I’m so happy with this newest addition, and everyone that comes over remarks on how thick and plush the rug is as well!
P.S. If you are looking for a new rug, or even want to get your own Morrocan Trellis rug, Rugs USA is currently having a %75 off sale!!

Your kitchen is gorgeous! i was wondering where you got the Bakery sign?
Love this rug. And the color and texture it adds in your kitchen is perfect.
I am ready to paint the 1980’s oak kitchen cabinets. I love the grey owl for the wall color. I was wondering what color you would suggest for the cabinets? Also, have you ever taken old Formica counter tops and put a concrete look on them? I am open to any other suggestions.

Hi Mindy! Thanks so much for stopping by! There are so many colors for cabinets, especially in the white family 🙂 I would suggest hopping on Pinterest and searching “white paint” that way you can compare the different undertones all in one spot. It’s a lot easier when you can see them all next to each other. Also I haven’t personally done the concrete look on countertops, I’ve only seen DIY’s on Pinterest 🙂
Kitchen is lovely. Can you share the wall paint colors?
Hi Kim, Our kitchen is painted Grey Owl by Benjamin Moore!
Thank you for taking the time to respond!
So so gorgeous! Xo
I love your runner. I’m always on rugs usa website. Great prices. Just a quick question. Being that it’s wool, how will you keep it clean?
Hi Carol! Other than vacuuming I just use a stain master carpet cleaner spray, and that works great 🙂
Oh boy am I envious of your absolutely stunning kitchen. Our kitchen floor gets so cold, we have ceramic tile. We also have a single wide mfg. home so no foundation under home and we live in Western CO. Not nearly as cold this winter as last few have been but it’s still so cold I wear heavy socks and my short ugh (faux) boots. Whatever works right?
Love your rug, it’s incredible, perfect touch for a kitchen to keep tootsies warmer. Happy for you to find just what you needed, I bought a long runner for front hall last year and what a difference that has made on, again, all that durned ceramic tile. I’ll have to see what the rug place has on sale.
Enjoy rest of weekend
