Rug Deal

Ballard Designs has some real hits and some serious misses. Today I found one of the best pieces I've seen from them in a while - the Sahar Rug. The Sahar rug comes in three colorways (seen below) and for only $339 for an 8' x 10', it is an insane deal! (It also comes in 3' x 5', 4' x 6', 6' x 9', 8' round, and 2'6" x 10'.) We're contemplating buying the brown and white for our living room...







If you want to accent the Moroccan design of the rug in another part of the room, check out the Moorish Arches shades from Delia Shades (below).

Incredible Shades!

I was thinking of waiting until Monday to post this, but I couldn't resist! I came across a company called Delia's Shades tonight on Apartment Therapy, and I am completely in love. If only I didn't have window treatments already!

My favorite:




For a touch of humor:



I am going absolutely insane over these! What a nice option instead of boring shades or more traditional curtains. Oh, I'm going to have to save up for these for our next place!
