My Striped Little Spot of Happiness
Sometimes I like to dream as if money weren’t an issue. After all, dreams aren’t held back by real budgets, are they??
So, in my dream world, I would shop at Dash and Albert.
I love them so very much ~ especially their carpets.
The patterns are so fun
(Birmingham Denim Woven Cotton Rug ~6 x 9 ~ $248.00)
…and happy…
{Spinnaker Woven Cotton Rug ~ 8 x 10 $495.00}
and beach cottagey.
{Marina Stripe Indoor Outdoor Carpet ~ 6 x 9 $405.00}
I could think of at least 6 spots in and outside my house where I’d put one of these, but I’d start with under my Dining Room table. I’ve been thinking a little jolt of pattern and fun would really add a little somp’n somp’n to that space.
I’ve been contemplating trying to paint stripes on the above (boring and blah) rug, but just couldn’t quite picture it.
Then, a little shopping miracle happened.
I was browsing in Walmart the other night and perusing the rugs. There is often a bin of bound commercial carpet and I like to keep an eye on it.
Am I ever glad I did. Look what I discovered!
A commercial bound carpet in stripes!!
It’s fun and happy and beach cottagey…
…and it cost only $34.00!!
Oh, I love shopping miracles!!
Way to go….now can you pray for a little shopping miracle over here? …..I’m looking for the same thing. :)….well, not exactly the same, but something big enough for under my table, and just as cheap. 🙂
It’s so great! What a fun find.
What a great find, it adds so much to the room. I guess I’m going to start watching Wal-Mart for rugs.
Wow, love it! It would be perfect for our home too. What a great deal and very Dash and Albert-y.
Love the rug! Amazing how one change can make a room go from already wonderful to WOW!
I LOVE shopping miracles too!! You just know they weren’t meant to happen when it works out so perfectly like that! Love that rug… Will have to keep my eye peeled at Walmart for another like it:)

That should say “we’re” meant to happen!
No – darn autocorrect on my IPad! And I’m a teacher so I can’t let it go… ‘were’ meant….
It’s amazing in favor of me to have a web page, which is helpful
for my know-how. thanks admin
