Kitchen Rug

I got the pink and red Persian rug in my kitchen from eSale rugs a couple months ago. I bought it on sale for about $150 (with free shipping!), which I think is a steal.

It's Iranian, only about 60 years old and is in great condition. I love the hot pink and red with the navy!


I've used eSale Rugs a couple times now and I'm a big fan. I think their prices are very fair and the site is easy to navigate. And I love that they include tons of photos with each rug listing, so you really have a sense of what you're buying before it arrives.

Their inventory is VAST, but here are a few rugs that caught my eye today. I usually look for something with at least one pop of usual color. A bonus would be something with great contrast (both black/navy and white/cream):

    Yes, I ordered one for a friend's music room and it came lickety- split and she is thrilled. Love e-sale rugs. Lots to choose from. Great speedy service.

    Beautiful rug! but how do you keep it clean? Do you just use rug spot cleaner? I have trouble keeping my PB in-door/out-door rug clean in the kitchen and that I can wash!

    I totally agree....it's the first place I go for rugs for clients. I'm absolutely in love with the furniture style kitchen island in your first photo, too!

    Love your rug. I have orientals in the kitchen too. I'm looking for a hall runner (my sister took back her loaner)and haven't found one at a yard/estate sale yet so I'll try eRugs.

    Hi! I am asking a totally unrelated question, so please excuse me. I did a google search for painting on a blackout shade and your blog name came up. It listed you as having painted a cloud mural black out shade for another bloggers nursery. Could you help me out with some feedback? My kids share a tiny room and it is an ocean/beach theme. We live in sunny So. Cal so we use black out shades to try and get them to sleep in longer. I was thinking it would be fun to paint on them and make them more interesting. Does it hold up? I currently have plastic type shades...do they need to be something else or would primer and a good sealing keep it working? Any help you could give would be fantastic!

    Thanks!
    Heidi

    Jenny - You have such great taste!! Any chance you could help recommend what type of rug you would get to go with my newly upholstered settee (pics here -- http://www.chiccottagecharm.com/2011/05/nesting.html). I'm at a loss - been trying to decide between a coral/white stripe, or diamond jute... Any advice would be appreciated!!
