You know, precious moments figurines, pastel textiles, clown paintings and the like. I've been checking estate sales and Craigslist for a good long while and never seen a single rug that fits the style :(<br /><br />Sudha - You don't even want to know. I've filled up my entire desktop with links to different rugs. After yesterday, I thought that I was set on number 1, but I took the idea to my girlfriend and she thinks that I should get a "natural color" (ie brown/beige) jute rug. Hmmm... at least I have until the 1st of February to figure it out.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-49322483726982023412012-01-27T11:54:32.266-08:002012-01-27T11:54:32.266-08:00do u have anything else in mind...both look so dif...do u have anything else in mind...both look so diff when u put them in the pic along with the furniture :(Sudhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987412242044006509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-43407578827537300152012-01-27T08:34:20.456-08:002012-01-27T08:34:20.456-08:00I think you should hold out for vintage.

I haven't even hung them properly and they are still on tension rods. We're thinking about going with blinds in either white or teak.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-25534744404517591922012-01-26T18:41:54.333-08:002012-01-26T18:41:54.333-08:00Not too late!
