Magic Carpet Ride!

I really, really want rugs for my dining room and living room!

Of course I’m faced with frugal hubby’s fiscal management plans supporting his very logical insistance that we get our renovations completed before we purchase furnishings for the house. Don’t you hate logic?!

What I want for the dining room (right) is something graphic in a fresh green. Maybe a trellis design… or perhaps a quatrefoil design… or maybe a chevron design… or what about off-kilter stripes? Have I narrowed it down enough?

Here are a few pics of what I’m imaging…

LOVE this chevron print rug… now image it in a fresh green!

And… I’m CRAZY about these off-kilter stripes… in a fresh green of course!! This rug (and the sweet pets) belong to Nicole from Making it Lovely. That china cabinet in the background? Built in. How fantastic, hey? Be sure to head over to Nicole’s place and take a closer look!!

Which of these 4 designs to you like best?

For my living room… well, that’s a trickier decision!!

I’m lusting over this Weavers Art rug!

My living room and dining room are partially connected. What do you think about a graphic rug in one space and a patterned rug like the one below in the other?

The the pattern/design of the rug is a nice mix of traditional & contemporary style with a lovely and important touch of whimsy: perfect for the look I’m trying to achieve in my little house… and the colours are terrific, too.

Of course finding something like this in the right size for both of these rooms AND at the right price will be a challenge!

Believe me, I’ve been looking and looking for the perfect rugs. With the living room in mind = I’ve seen a few that I like, but nothing that I love enough to bring home.

With area rugs on the brain I decided to do a little internet searching to see what other kinds of rugs I could find to share with our DesignTies readers.

 

Which one(s) do you like?

A little Purple for Kelly!

To finish off this exploration post of area rugs, let me share another rug I found this evening that I could fall in love with for my living room… or maybe it’s the overall feel of the room, I can’t tell! Just my style.

Wish me luck in my rug search!!
