rug hunting

As we get more settled into our (not-so-new-anymore) abode, I'm finding myself craving a nice rug for the living room. I'm already envisioning cozy evenings curled up on the floor in front of the fireplace reading and watching movies on the projector. Only two - make that 3 problems with that equation - we only lit the fireplace once last winter (well, we moved in February), the projector is currently on the fritz, and there is no rug. Hey, its my daydream, no one said it needed to be rooted in reality!!

So, I took to the nets to gather some inspiration for the floors.

I've had my eye on this rug for quite some time. I especially fell in love when I saw the black/white goodness going on in this room.


But a certain man wasn't feeling it.

Perusing IKEA for some more inspiration, I came across this new lovely.


A flatwoven version in gray...

Or a plush one in blue...



And since I'm already , how about this


I'm loving the tribal meets chevron pattern in this one. 


Perhaps something a bit more bohemian is necessary to counteract the modern sofa



More inspiration found while persuing flickr



I think I'm in love with this entire room





What are you looking forward to this fall?
