Thankfully there are some good sources for handsome but affordable rugs. Here are some of my favourites.
Shades of Light (Most of these rugs are between $300-$400 for the 5x8 size.)
IKEA has a few to choose from too. (Prices vary from $30-$400.)
(I'm sure there are other great sources out there, but I'm still on the hunt to find them. Let me know if you know of a good source.)
And speaking of rugs, I've had it in my head that I just might want a Persian rug in my future kitchen. It would look something like this...
I think it really cozies up the space.
Alright. Well, you have yourself a fabulous day and a good start to your week. I'm actually going to be doing some baking today (something I haven't done in a very long time). We're having a cookie exchange at the mom's group I'm a part of. I'll be starting my Tuesday morning with a major sugar load. Oh yeah.
