a little something to please everyone.

cameron and i recently purchased some new rugs for our carpet-less home. one of them was this one, from IKEA.

 IKEA is great for fast, affordable home purchases. particularly when we needed to find several rugs for around the house - fast - which is exactly what happened this past saturday.

i like this rug for many reasons. it is heavy, soft, it gives a punch of color on our neutral wood floors and next to the newly painted sandy colored walls. also, finally, the cats have come out of hiding.

and no, it was not my first choice, but my husband vetoed the expensive persian rug i first picked out :)

i am very satisfied with it though. while mass-produced, it claims to have been hand knotted, is made of wool (sustainable, naturally stain resistant) and judging by the selection at the store, no two were exactly alike. (hey, i'll take what i can get).

now i just need to take some time to find some accessories and art for the bare walls to make the room perfect for us...cam just hopes i can keep my eye on things within a reasonable price range.
