My Love of Rugs

I have a minor addiction to rugs.  I love wool, felt, loop, and jute rugs – just to name a few.  They can bring color, warmth, and depending on the design, even art into a room.   Despite having a rug in almost every room in my house, including two in the basement, I am always in the market for fresh and charismatic rugs.  Recently, Garnet Hill has grabbed a hold of my attention.  Take a look at why…

I have my eye fixed on these 4 rugs.  I really wish I had a spot in my house for each of them, especially the sunflower rug.  This particular rug (I think) looks best as a runner – which makes it a bit more difficult to find it a place in my home (but I’m still working on it!).  And what about these doormats…

Lots of fun designs and bright colors.  Each of these doormats are offered with fade and mildew resistant properties which is important for longevity.

Another innovative idea, is taking your children’s art work and turning it into a rug.  The folks over at Rugs to Love in England, have taken this idea and ran with it.   You supply your child’s art work and they produce a 100% handmade wool rug.  Here are some of the amazing results -

It’s wonderful that the colors are nearly the same.  I don’t think it could get any better!
