Giddy with Rug Love



I gots a new rug in my dining room. Lets just throw all previous dining room color schemes out the door. This rug quite possibly was made for my dining room. It goes so. well. Like, textile/paint soulmates. Like, peas in a pod. Salt and pepper. Batman and Robin. Justin and Britney. 

Whaaattt, you know you wished that they were still together too!

Sooooooo, can you tell I like the new rug?


The little guy is just an Ikea cheapie. He's a lightweight flatweave with a gray stripe and navy blue accents (much like its soulmate). The golden color is just dark enough so that it doesn't attempt to stand out against the yellow moorish tile rug in our living room. 


My mom and I picked it up Saturday and it's been love at first sight ever since.

Find anything you love this weekend?

    Love the rug! I actually bought the same one (go figure!) a few weeks ago because I liked it so much, but returned it last week because I couldn't figure out a place to put it. Boo! So glad it works amazingly in your space!

    I really do love your rug. I have been searching for a rug for a loooong time but am having a hard time since our couches are a weird forrest green color. This would be perfect! So nice and it makes your room look so chic :)

    Hi Michelle -- Congrats on the new rug. It does look great and I think the color is perfect. But I must tell you what I truly LOVE is the color of your dining room walls. So bold and original. Will look forward to see what you do next and I so appreciate you stopping by to see us.
