Subtle Changes

Okay so I got really tired of our carpet in the family room looking like we owned 3 dogs, 2 cats and a hamster.  Seriously- where do all those mysterious stains come from?  We don't have pets, we never eat in the family room... yet here come those pesky spots that won't go away with an entire bottle of Resolve. 

So to keep my sanity and stay within budget (new carpet was not in the budget) I found a nice rug and cute throw pillows on clearance this week.  I am pleased with the final outcome and even though new leather furniture would make this outcome SO much more desirable, that is definitely not in the budget.  But still on my wish list.
