As usual I was walking around town being a tourist taking in all the new retail spaces in Montauk. There is so much to look at and BUY this season! I have been wanting to update my younger daughter’s room. Typical of being a second child close behind the first I never really had time to decorate her room. The rug is from the living room, the pictures on the wall are moved around from other places in the house, and the paint was never refreshed. She keeps asking for a rainbow sparkle with hearts paint job. Sounds like a bad trip paint job to me.
As I was walking around, I came to Gansett Lane. This is their second season in Montauk. It is a wonderful home shop filled with all sorts of decorating pieces from gorgeous couches to VERY AFFORDABLE water goblets. There is quite an extensive section for kids. I immediately saw the remedy to my daughter’s blah room! A new woven cotton rug in pale aqua and lavender stripes! The best was it was only about $200 for a 6×9 rug. This is a steal for such a large rug. I quickly purchased it, brought it home, and put it down in place of the old one. WOW! What a wonderful difference. It made the room bright, fresh, and so beachy. We all love it. She did say that she was expecting a new paint job when I told her to go see the surprise in her room. Oh, well. Such is life with Little Ones!
