Arriving Soon! Andalusia Rug

I'm actually breaking this news to you before I tell the hubs.  Well, I mean, by the time you read this he'll know.  But right now he's playing on his new iPad (a gift to himself, for being himself) with a new App where he can record his own voice.  Apparently he's writing a song.  The lyrics go like this: "Back in the daaaay... there was a doooog... his name was Geooorge...".

I just ordered the Andalusia Rug from West Elm for our dining room. Yep, I've been looking after it for quite awhile. 

I haven't seen it in person (we don't have a West Elm in Birmingham), but it's made enough appearances to make me feel relatively comfortable.  Like this season's Secrets From a Stylist.

It was kind of an impulse.  Yes, I've loved it for awhile but I'm a commitment-phobe. I've considered a striped rug, a DIY stencil rug, another natural fiber rug.  But tonight I walked in from a pretty long day at work, and decided to buy it.  I'm like that.  I usually waaaay over-think something, but every now and then I make an impulse buy, comforting myself that there will be a way out (and there is, ya know, I can always return it). 

The gift card my mama and daddy-o gifted my a West Elm gift card awhile back took the edge off.  I had about $15 left, which helped with the shipping.

Are you considering some rug options?  Geometric? Natural fiber?  Do you think we've made a mistake?  :)  And (most importantly) do you like recording yourself writing songs, the kind you would never dream to let anyone hear, like Seth does?
