here goes the story..
Remember a while ago when I posted my Kitchen and I showed you the rug which was supposed to be going in it....well E-Bay is a funny beast, and Turkish Rug Vendors are always tempting me with things like the above...So here we go...New Turkish Kitchen Rug! Frankly I needed a punch of red in my life and at $450 bucks... not bad
Then I needed a punch of pink and orange and turquoise...so I purchased this beauty, which is flipping STUNNING and only 200 dollars.
Thennnnnn I needed a hallway runner so I snagged this Robshaw off One Kings Lane. 2.5' x 9' for $98 bones. {I haven't received this rug yet, but to be honest I am a bit dubious that the color is gonna look bland against all my bright and pretty rugs}
Then I hopped over to Ikea and this 8'2" x 11'6" old faithful was in the clearance as is for....$150 bucks...normally $299. Can anyone say SWEET DEAL?
Then, last but not least this little gem of a jewel has no home in our house yet but will most likely reside in our bathrooms...as soon as we can afford to smash them into smithereens them.
On a side note...I have tons of DIY shit to show you lovers, but A LOT of it is not quite completed. For example I painted G's Ikea dresser and it's reeeeeaaally cute, but I have no hardware yet. So you can't see it until it's completed..Sorry.
Also I made curtains and recovered an ottoman, and painted an old draper knock off dresser....






























Well well well! Aren't a little shopping, painting, sewing machine! Looking forward to more photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat rugs!! Love that last little one :)

ReplyDeleteGreat rugs. I've been wanting that black and white one from Ikea, but didn't want to spend the money. I will be watching for your DIY projects.

I'm sooo jealous of all your rugs- also quite jealous that you snagged MY IKEA rug (hehe) for like half of what I paid- damn Canadian higher prices. LOVE your rug haul my dear- all stunning.
ReplyDeleteA girl can never have too many rugs, especially pretty ones! I'm heading over to that ebay shop right now!

I NEED to know what ebay vendor you got that second rug (aka dining room rug). Looking the same type of thing and having no luck!

Those first two rugs are beautiful! We actually have numerous similar tribal patterned rugs at my company, Peykar Rugs (www.peykarrugs.com) that are very similar to those two! Including a couple that I know will be put on Ebay fairly soon (old clearance rugs! so the prices are low!) If you or any of the commenters are interested in these.. send me an email! marianna (at) peykarrugs . com
