Finally, a new rug! It took me two hours to find this kilim at the flea market. It's the perfect size and adds a nice touch to the living room. Crossing fingers, toes and eyes Beatrice doesn't sabotage it. Here are a few before photos: one + two + three.

Nice one! Flea market finds rock :)
It's really on it's place there. Love it!
it looks amazing! so sunny & beautiful!
so good!
2 hours, eh? that's pretty awesome.
i've been looking on eBay for 2 years!
granted, i'm super frugal and don't like red in my house (much) so that eliminates like 85% of all kilim rugs...but i really need to bite the bullet and just choose one. even IF it means we'll be eating elbow macaroni and drinking water every night for 2 months.
soooo jealous. looks fabulous.
oh great, you found one! looks great!! see you saturday!!!!
Ah if we had hardwood floors, I would love a rung like this!
Great find; you've worked it into the space like a little decorating rockstar! Please can you hop across the pond and teach me some photography skills?
P.S. I love that B takes center stage, she's such a star!

@ Will You're the greatest. Thank you. I'd hop on over someday! Bea loves the attention!

Congratulations! I know you've been looking for one forever. To answer your question about the self imposed sabbatical: I have no idea! I need to recharge a bit more. I was getting burned out and irritated by shoppers. :( Hope you're having still having a great week.
Um, have I said before how jealous I am of your giant windows? :) Such a lovely rug, good on you for holding out for the good stuff!
@ Rolerkite Thank you! And so happy to have you stop by.
@ Allan Thanks! One down, three more rugs to go. Ha! And I totally feel you about thrifting. Have a super week!
@ Trude :D
oh my gosh, i canNOT get over how beautiful your place is -- that window is to die for. and naturally, the rug looks perfect. :)
Heh, yeah. 2 years. Mostly because my job pays the most meager amount everrrr and I'm trying to pay off a new car & some other stuffs. BUT I know that a sweet rug is in my future.
