rugs + bold stripes

hopefully heath & i will be in a house very soon.  when we do get in one i can't wait to decorate with my stuff that has been in storage for over a year, and new things.
we hate our current rug.
it was an inexpensive purchase for our apartment in nola & we loved the look.  plain sisal.  
but it gets sisal hair everywhere.

our first purchase in our new house will be a new rug.

these are some looks i'm really digging


grey rug from indian dhurries  LOVE!


also love their blue zigzag
the diamond weave indoor/outdoor rug from dash & albert
wouldn't this be fun in a kid's sitting room...well...if it wasn't $13,000 (from ABC carpets)


LOVE this one from Wisteria


and this one from design retreat has a nice price tag!
i might try to paint my sisal rug.  there are a lot of demos out there to do it


my old favorite from ikea


this chevron stripe rug from west elm


here are some pics of interiors with these type rugs

LOVE



this is a jonathan adler design




look how pretty and i bet it doesn't shed
i've been eyeing stripe/chevron stripes for about 4 years now.  not sure if i will still love them when we get into a house, but the odds are looking good right now.

i'm going with either a cotton rug or an outdoor rug this time.  i like the thin aspect of the sisals, but the others don't get the hair on you.  neither do really expensive sisals.
