Adulthood is an area rug

Adulthood is an area rug
By Bill Mayeroff  (http://www.chicagonow.com/where-beer-whiskey-flow/2014/12/adulthood-is-an-area-rug/

There are few things that make you feel more adult than thinking about area rugs.

About a week and a half ago, I moved into a new place. Of all the places I've lived, it's by far the most "adult." It's a downright classy apartment. Hardwood floors throughout. Crown molding and built-in shelves in the living room. An actual dining room as opposed to an eat-in kitchen. It's beautiful and it feels very adult.

But I've never really lived in such an "adult" place before. But how hard could it be, right? It's just an apartment, after all. Apparently not.

I thought I had it figured out. But then my mom started talking about area rugs. I hadn't even thought about them. I love hardwood floors. And the ones in my new place are in beautiful shape. Why would I cover those up with rugs? But she explained it and so I started looking for area rugs.

And that's where the adultiness of it all set in. For one, I wasn't prepared for the options. Different patterns. Different thicknesses. Different colors. Different sizes. And I have to get two of them - a big one for my living room and a smaller one for my bedroom. So I have to think about all these things twice.

But the adultiest part of this is the price. My god are area rugs expensive. Even the cheap ones are expensive. It feels like a very adult purchase because only adults would spend that amount of money on something as simple as a rug.

I'm about to turn 30. Crazy, right? I think so. I've technically been an adult for many years. And yet this whole area rug thing makes me realize adulthood isn't a destination. It's a journey. Yeah yeah. Terrible cliche, I know. Anyway.

My point is that you don't wake up one day as an adult. It's a process. And as I'm finding out, there's always something to learn ... even if it's only about area rugs.

[ Brandon Oriental Rugs (www.BrandonRugs.com) comments: "Bravo for Bill upon his realization that making decisions that have lifelong consequences IS a sign of adulthood. And, selecting an area rug (or any home furnishing) IS one of those decisions that has the potential for persistence in existence when approached maturely. 

At the time of Bill's nativity in the 1980's (when his now fifty-something parents were then thirty-something) "thirty-something" was associated with YUPPIEs, (young upwardly mobile professionals) a phenomenal class of achievers bound and determined to acquire, perpetuate and prominently display their enjoyment in every possible sign of wealth and refinement. 

Bill is prescient in understanding that the present generation of thirty-somethings might not be as serious about long-term considerations (at least as they relate to actually being able to sustain "the good life".) As he is finding, to his amazement, his peers would do well to consider the great fun that can be had by applying a thrill seeker's spirit to exploits that can yield excitement and pleasure for more than (at best) a day or a week. Rug collecting is among those pursuits whose evident rewards (like trophies) provide the enthusiast perpetual bragging rights to noteworthy achievement." ]

Many attractive oriental rugs spend long lives alone; accompanied by other room furnishings of course, but without companion rugs with which to share the home.

But, for those in search of lifelong mates, Brandon Oriental Rugs is an accomplished matchmaker.

Ten Things Interior Designers Don't Want You to Know

This link provides information to bolster your confidence about establishing and managing a relationship with an interior design professional.

Far from discounting the benefits and usefulness of employing a designer's help, it discusses  many areas where designers can provide you with a better result than you could hope to achieve with DIY methodologies.

http://freshome.com/2014/12/08/10-things-interior-decorators-dont-want-you-to-know/

Establishing a budget for decorating your home with which you are comfortable is essential. Once upon a time the rule of thumb was to set aside ten to twenty percent of your home's market value as a reasonable decorating budget. That probably is not a comfortable consideration for many today. But you want to be realistic about what it will require to accomplish all that is needful (hopefully including beautiful handmade rugs from Brandon Oriental Rugs - www.BrandonRugs.com.) As the article details, an experienced designer can help with planning and fulfillment, so that every dollar in your budget yields maximum value to you on a schedule that makes sense for you. 

It is important to realize and remember that you are in charge of all aspects of your home decorating projects, and that there is much that you can (and will) do on your own acting upon what you like and what you know. But having assistance from someone who can do what you can't, or help a little where you are unsure or want some guidance is a benefit you won't want to overlook or discount as you labor to realize all your dreams for your home.
