Black ticking & my first Dash & Albert rug

 The black ticking hand towels from Pottery Barn were a birthday gift from my kids (thanks mom;)  I love them!
I hung the other one over here. Added one of my paper whites that I bought last Christmas from Ballard on the tray.
  And my first Dash & Albert rug. Love it! Thinking of buying a runner for my kitchen now too!!


Now I just have to get the hubby to add the crown molding in here and we're done!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Your bath guest towel is so cute! I love the rug too, I have one the same color, my stripes are thinner. They really hold up nicely when washed.
