Our Home: Mushy New Kitchen Rug!

Our old kitchen rug was looking pretty bad, so I found this new one at Urban Outfitters. I love it! Although Im pretty sure thats mainly because I've been away from Peter for about 3 weeks (me in France and then him in New Orleans) & have been feeling all lovey & sappy.. haha maybe it will remind me of that lovin feeling when I'm doing irritating kitchen chores!


Oh hello Benson.

Aw he likes the rug too! Or he just thinks I'm weird for taking pictures of it.

Ok thats all for the kitchen rug turned benson photo shoot. Have a great week!
