Assisted Living:  Lattice Print Rug

CasaSugar Community member McPanda asked in the Assisted Living group, "I am pining over a rug I never knew existed until this week and is exactly what I am looking for. Problem is, it was sold in 2008! I love the West Elm Taksim rug in the grey color, and am having trouble finding a good look a like that is affordable! I'm looking for under $500 for a 5x8.

Crave Worthy: Martha Stewart Gate Rug

I’ve shown you plenty of crave-worthy rugs in the past with bold patterns and colors that really command attention in a room — rugs that really wow you.

Ask Casa: Madeline Weinrib Rug

Hi Casa, I have fallen deeply in love with a beautiful Madeline Weinrib rug, The Brooke Chenille in Watermelon. The Tibetan pattern, the bright pink color . . . sigh.

Lattice

In the most general sense of the word, lattice is a pattern composed of criss-crossing diagonal lines.

Christina Ricci at Met Gala 2012

Christina Ricci brought new meaning to being bow-tied in a showstopping Thakoon gown. Aside from an intricate lattice-worked bodice and a flash of midriff, all eyes were on Christina's dramatic sculptural neckline that ends in a floor-skimming bow at the back. There's no competing with this kind of adornment — Christina keeps the rest simple with a single sparkly cocktail ring and a pair of Read more
