INSPIRATION: Graphic and stripes, oh my!

Area rugs!  I am always in search of fabulous area rugs. I switch them out in my rooms as often as people switch out their throw pillows!  I find it changes the entire look of a room.  I prefer 100% wool rugs for the ease of cleaning and durability.  They can be expense, but I will let you in on a little secret! Ikea!  They have a wonderful selection of handwoven wool rugs! They are well priced and sometimes you can find them in the as-is section for even 65% off, like I did last week!! (see future, guest room post!)

Here are some rugs that I have been coveting lately!
Where do you find great area rugs??

  1. I have been on a quest for the perfect rug for our living room for 3 years! I just can't seem to choose (it is also a bit of an investment)! I love your choices, especially the gorgeous orange herringbone one! P.S - you are more than welcome to use my pic of the foxes in my garden...
