I think I need a lot of them. First of all, they are pretty.
Second, Elements of Style featured them and who can argue with a blog like that?
(This kitchen is exactly what I would choose for myself with endless resources.)
Third, my current floor is impossible to keep clean. I think I would rather just cover it for the time being.
Design Crisis scored this guy for $160 on craigslist.
And Design Manifest has a whole post on how to get them cheap on ebay. Sounds like a plan to me!
Love your blog, Chelsea! Megan set me up on google reader… And now I follow way too many blogs. hehe. Have you seen this kitchen?

It’s one of my favorites. And I LOVE her rugs.
I am a huge fan of area rugs, having wood floors myself in our house in MD. I found estate sales and auctions a good place to find them too. Real Indian ones can be super pricey, but there’s lots of nice wool ones that are pretty and not too much. They last for a really long time, so it’s an investment piece, for sure. I have a couple from pottery barn that I bought on ebay that are great, and they were only 1/2 the pottery barn price. Good luck!
Thanks for your tips, Susie!!
THANK YOU for the tip! Love that kitchen!
