Casa Quickie: A Low-Budge Rug

CasaSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 05:30:49 -0700

If you're dismayed by the prices of accent rugs these days, or just looking for an inexpensive solution to pull a room together while you look for the perfect one, I have the answer to your problem-o. Stop by a cheap home furnishing store (Ikea, Bed Bath & Beyond, a local outlet) and pick up two or three small cotton rugs, which you can find for $2 to $10. Then, tape or stitch them together to create a larger accent rug, which would normally cost you upwards of $100.

I once took this project into my own hands with some household duct tape and two $7 rugs from a local linen outlet. No, it doesn't make for the most crave worthy rug, but it's a quick, small change that can make a room look a bit more composed.

Nice and New: Kelly Wearstler Rugs For the Rug Company

CasaSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:30:21 -0700

According to LA Times, Kelly Wearstler is the first American interior designer to create a collection for the London-based The Rug Company. There are currently eight of her designs on the company's website. The ethereal, organic feel of these designs is a clear departure from the Hollywood Regency style that she's known for. But, she says, "That's so last Tuesday," anyhoo. They range from $80 to $130 per square foot — pretty pricey, but that's to be expected from the glamazon. She'll also be launching collections with Groundworks at Lee Jofa and Cole & Son. This one has her finger in every pie, doesn't she?
