Just stumbled across this item when looking for ideas for our new home. We live really near the Olde Bell (in fact we got married a few yards away from it) and can testify to its beauty! It's actually much warmer and cosier in the flesh too. Wow! Just stumbled across this item when looking for ideas for our new home.

I have a post on this (plus one other) hotel all set to go for tomorrow! That was after I scrapped another post idea because I saw it on another blog. Oh, well, it can't be helped, I guess. I'm actually really into its simple decor right now. But I'm sure I'll be into something entirely different by next week. :) Katy!

The rugs from the Olde Bell Inn are most likely jute and sisal rugs. Pottery Barn has a few examples to give you an idea of pricing and styles available. http://www.potterybarn.com/shop/rugs-windows/rugs-by-material/natural-fiber-rugs/. Hi Nicole,

I really like your blog. So many neat finds and such a cool balance of design, practical tips, recipes... just love! So, my husband and I recently bought a small colonial in New Jersey. We're also fixing and decorating on a TIGHT budget. I'm looking for rugs for our long living room (I was thinking maybe two to divide the space into two seating areas?) and quickly (to cozy up the place for winter) but cheaply and also not too generic or hideous. Yeah, now that I write it all out I see that I want it all. Geez, I sound rug spoiled, don't I? Um, anyway, do you have any suggestions? I like the ones in the pics from this Inn. I'm thinking in the cement/slate palette to go with dark wood trim we have everywhere and to maintain some design flexibility for when we have some more time and money to figure out the walls. Oh, also, thank you for turning me on to Farrow and Ball wallpaper. Love! and saving up:) Hey Katy! I really like your blog.

Also small, and poorly lit, but very cozy and evocative. These photos remind me of Vermeer’s Dutch interiors. Also small, and poorly lit, but very cozy and evocative.
