Moving the Ikea rug back into the foyer


This morning, Natalie displayed  a gorgeous indigo and white colour story for your home...and included our rug in her post!  It is currently available from overstock! (Probably doesnt ship to Canada, but there are ways around this!)....We bought the rug from ikea about 2 years ago. I LOVE THIS RUG!

It was originally purchased for the foyer...and held up well through a winter...then we bought a smaller Weinrib rug for the summer (to show off a litle more of the marble)...and I put the blue kilim into the guest room...it looks fantastic in there...except, once again, we need a large rug for the foyer during the yucky weather.  So the kilim is back downstairs..


There is always the possibility that we find a third rug...cause it really does look great in the guest bedroom (this is an older photo...)

If you are thinking about buying this rug - GO FOR IT! Its soo great...kinda scratchy - like jute, but great colours and holds up well...I wash it with a sponge and soapy (Palmolive -green -original) water...

update: Here is a photo do over with boots as props...and a shopping bag for extra points!

  1. I think we might be style cousins, I'm dying for that rug. And yes, there's always ways to order things. You just have to want to do it badly enough :)
