Black and White Color Scheme |
More of my black and white color scheme. |
But what I've most wanted to complete my living room is a new rug.
Okay, actually what I've really, really, really, really, REALLY WANTED to complete my living room is a new sofa, like the Celine Sofa from Haverty's , but that just isn't in my budget at the moment. |
I've been dreaming about a new rug forever. The one I have is a cheap black and white scroll pattern and I'm just tired of it.

I've considered getting the Olin Rug from Crate and Barrel
Crate & Barrel's Olin Rug |
And I've thought of getting a black and white zig-zag rug - a knock off of the Madeline Weinrib Version
West Elm Zig Zag Rug |
Then I considered getting the Ikea Rand Rug.
I'm not sure if this is the Ikea version or the pricer rug that inspired the Ikea rug. |
Then yesterday I was in Ballard's Backroom and found the most perfect rug.
It was made of hand tufted wool, unlike my current polypropolene black and white monstrosity.
Even better, it was on sale!
They were practically giving it away.
I just had to have it.
So I bought it!
Just what you would have picked for the space, right?
And totally matches everything I already own. Well, except for the drapes, the lampshades the pillows and the accessories...
If you need me I'll be making drapes and recovering pillows and lampshades for the forseeable future.
