I like to obsess. I think it keeps my ADHD mind busy (that's my self-diagnosis). If I did not have something to hunt for and obsess about I'd be bored. My latest? Mid Century Rugs. I want one (or two)!
I see them on Craigslist from time to time and they are always quite pricey - with good reason. Don't get me wrong, I understand their value but I'm cheap, I mean I love a good bargain. I'm the girl that wants to come across one at a garage sale or estate sale and get it for like $10. Hey, it happens. My friend Darren found one of his MCM rugs for $4 at a garage sale. I remain hopeful....but I'm impatient too. Great combo I know, obsessive and impatient. I'm a wreck! My ideal rug would be hues of blue/green or orange tones - or all of them mixed. I don't have a particular style or design I like, I'll just know it when I see it.

Even Kitty thinks its amazing! Flickr
apparently ABC Home's designer sued Williams Sonoma Co. for this design. Maybe that's why it's no longer available. I really wanted the orange one but can't find it anywhere. ;(

Those rugs look fantastic! I would love to have at least half of those! That would be amazing!
I adore rugs as well but they are always too much.. like you said! They have all natural herbs for ADHD type behaviors, I'm just saying you might want to check them out! :)
LOL I don't actually have ADHD....well, maybe I do!
I've been wanting to get some vintage rugs too but I don't come across them often (and when I do they're more the traditional/"Oriental" style). I'm holding out hope that I'll find one at an estate sale soon.
I'm a real sucker for rugs. I could buy one every week and never have enough. The ones you've shown are absolutely gorgeous! I'd love one of each. :)
These are so gorgeous! I seem to only find tiny rugs at good prices. But what we need is a big 8X10 beast. When I can muster the energy, I search "rug" on Craigslist and spend some time culling through the paisley and floral horror that results, just hoping for a diamond in the rough... No luck so far.
