When the husband nixes an area rug purchase, ask for clothes instead.

I recently asked the husband if it was okay to purchase a new area rug for the living room. I had been wanting to replace ours for some time now. It's 4-ish years old, showing it's wear, and its size is more appropriate for my small one-bedroom apartment I was living in at the time I purchased it. I mean, did you see how insignificant it looks in our current abode?

I know, I know. All three of you are sitting on the edge of your seats wondering what the husband's response was. It was no. Geesh. He's such a mood killer!

In the event he signs off on a new area rug purchase, I've decided to add a few additional items to my list for good measure. While these items are decidedly non-house related, a girl has to look good in her city dwellin' abode, no? So without further ado, I give you my wish list courtesy of Modcloth:

Yes Pleats Dress

First Snow of the Season Coat

Shear Romance Top

Midnight Runner Boot

White Chocolate Mousse Top

Earn Your Wing Ring

You Com-Pleat Me Coat

Ooops! Gotta run. The husband just caught me checking out boots & he didn't seem too amused. I guess this means a future area rug purchase is out of the question?
