Pottery Barn Camille Rug


After months of searching for the perfect rug, I finally bought the Pottery Barn Camille Rug in the 9x12 size. I was able to find it on eBay since it had been discontinued. The stock photo from the Pottery Barn site is a little deceiving. The colors look much lighter than the actual rug. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and plush the rug was. I bought the Pottery Barn Green Henley rug a few years back and I wasn't too happy with the feel of the rug. Also, the Henley rug sheds like crazy. My husband and I have had a few wrestling matches with our vacuum trying to unclog that thing! I'm not even joking, the inside of our vacuum bags must have looked like we killed Oscar the Grouch and vacuumed him up. It's been 3 years, and the rug is still shedding. My daughter loves to grab all the fuzz that comes up and eat it. Anyway, the point of this article is to say that the Camille rug is really nice and uh yea, don't buy the Henley rug.

Pottery Barn Kids Sleigh Side Table


I finally found a small side table for my 1 year old daughter's room. I wanted something in a dark wood to match her cherry crib, and something without any sharp corners. Also, I wanted something that would match a non-nursery decor since the crib would be replaced with a real bed in the future. The Pottery Barn Kids Sleigh Side Table has a small drawer and a bottom shelf to house decorative items or small toys. The assembly was incredibly easy - it took less about 10 minutes. I was able to assemble it myself without waiting for my husband!
