The Oriental Rug

The Oriental Rug - Inspiration Wednesday

The Oriental rug. Is it even PC to say Oriental? Anyway, it is a classic that has gone in and out of fashion. For the past few years it's been seagrass, hides, overdyed, and chevron pattern rugs for me. Between Dave and I we have three Oriental rugs, two large traditional ones from him, one smaller Kilim from me. Since our beach house is a combination of our styles, I'm incorporating the Oriental rugs. One will go in the living room, one will go in a bedroom, and one will go in the center hall.

Learning to love Oriental rugs again

I pulled a few inspiration images to make me get in like again with Oriental rugs. I haven't used them since my hippie days in New York. They are kind of looking fresh again to me.
