I picked up a couple of goodies at the thrift store that look great in my family room. The first is this clock that I paid one whole dollar for. I placed it in a thrifted tray on the door sofa table. Now hubby knows the time and where to find the remote.
I also found this wool rug for ten dollars. It's in great shape and the colors and bold pattern are perfect in the family room. And yes, I put a rug, on top of a rug, on top of my painted floor. I'm sure that some people would cringe, but hey, it's my home and I can choose to not listen to "some people."

Joy, pretty rug!! Thanks for joining in today. I love your armoire too. :)
Wow- you found some great deals! :D I love shopping and thrift stores and junk shops- I always feel amazing when I see a great find! I live in a little, LITTLE town, but there is a junk shop, a (big) thrift store, and a liquidation store. It's the greatest! :D

Beautiful rug! What a bargain at only $10. It looks fab with your red walls.
I like the rug! Even if it is on top of another rug, on top of your painted floor ;)
The rug on a rug is just fine with me and it looks so wonderful in your room. $10?!?!? Wow, it is big too!
The clock was a steal too and fits in perfectly:)
Love the rug on a rug on a floor!!
Lots of Panache! The clock is very nice as well! Love your home! ....ya, and ya know I'm in love with your yard! lol Have a good one!

I have a very similar clock that I got at GW for $4, but it's from Target, not from Howard Miller (I think I see that name on yours).
That rug was the deal of the century, and so pretty!
Ten dollar for that rug--WOW. And I love a rug on a rug on a painted floor!
glad you didn't listen to "those" people!
It looks great!
Your home is so beautiful!

Joy, the clock was such a good deal! As if you didn't already know! And that rug...very pretty, and I think it's just fine to layer rugs upon floor.

What $10 for that rug…..that’s awesome! I love the BOLD pattern. I’ve been on the hunt for a fun round rug to put under our kitchen table but have not come across one that is in my price range. You go girl not listening to “those people” there are so many rules if you listen to all of them it may stifle your decorating pizzazz. There is one decorating rule that I am trying very hard to break away from but I really love what they do for my space…..faux flowers! I don’t have a lot in my space but have a faux tree and a little berry arrangement. I know it’s a BIG no, no but they add nice color.

I have a rug on top of a rug in my living room! ;)
UGH! I soooooo need that rug. That is my next mission. great finds!
Great finds! I love clocks. And your rug is fabulous.
That clock is really great, but I LOVE that rug! And what an amazing deal you got! It looks gorgeous. Is there something wrong with putting a rug on top of a rug? I do that all the time!
The clock and rug are BEAUTIFUL!!! I have seen them stack rugs like you did in the decorating magazines. You are right in style (as always) girl!!!!
I love the rug! Great colors.
hi there, stalk your blog often, but don't think i've ever left a comment. What a great find on that beautiful rug!!
Your rug looks perfect. Doesn't it feel great to find just the right accessory at a great price. I love it over your painted floor.
Have a great evening.

YOu guys watch TV?? Lol...I just figured you all did crafts, and amazing projects all day long.=)
Jokes, it was nice to see something like I would see in my home, a remote. I long for the days of going back to the states. Because of you I will never look at the dollar store the same way.=)
Your rug gives me inspiration that I might find something just as great for my family room. Good for you!!

The rug is gorgeous! And what a great buy too. I've been on the hunt for a pretty circular rug at a great price~so far I've not had your great luck!
I love that rug!!! Great find! Don't know how I got behind on your posts. Catching up now!
LOVE that rug!!! I don't listen to some people either ... they just don't have the eye I do... and usually those people end up copying my ideas later on ! lOL
You have a wonderful eye and style! I love old doors and I am envious of your creations!! Really inspiring! =)
