Happy Friday! With two sick kids at home this week I have been fairly homebound. While they sleep I have been online swooning over Turkish Rugs. Maybe it’s the cabin fever and snow on the ground that has me craving some bright warm color – but seriously – aren’t some of these rugs just gorgeous?

In an entry, a kitchen, a bathroom – they work almost anywhere. But as you can see, the key to these beautiful room is keeping the walls light and bright – and really letting the rugs be the star of the show.

I am debating how I might use one of these in my own house. I like the idea of using a runner in our upstairs hallway or a smaller one in our kitchen in front of the sink. Stay tuned!
