ebay and nesting...

i know the subject of this post sounds dangerous... but here's how the story went.

Evelyn was having a very hard time with our living room layout... very frustrated, the jute rug wasn't working, and the coffee table tried to bite your shins everytime you passed by it. So off Evelyn went to ebay in search of an alternative solution. Enter hand knotted rug from some strange province in Iran, and some pictures that still didn't really confirm whether or not i would be a total sucker for bidding. So i closed my eyes, entered a maximum bid of $26 US dollars, and won. Not so bad. Three days later the suspicious package arrives on our doorstep and i chose to leave it there for a couple of days... because i was still nervous about it falling apart in my hands. When i finally got the courage to open said package, i was delightfully suprised at what i found. Here are some pictures of the updated space with our new addition to the family. (Don't worry, the jute rug found a better home in our bedroom.)
