{kilim obsessed}

i'm completely obsessed with kilim rugs, particularly Turkish ones but any gorgeous antique kilim will do. i am smitten by these things and cannot stop thinking about owning one... this has been going on for over a year now but in the states my home has berber carpeting so owning an area rug just was not an option. but now... oh yes things have changed. i need rugs and can justify the expense. so this is my dream rug, my magic carpet... but it is sold (it's antique so one-of-a-kind)... so boo hoo. it would have looked lovely beneath my dining room table. i am looking to warm up the space with pattern and color. this is the layering part of decorating that i love. pattern, color, layer layer layer! of course these are all wonderful too -- and they are currently available online. and they ship to germany... oooooh. but i still want to go see the Persian man in Hannover. i meant to do this yesterday but time escaped me. i will go see him saturday. perhaps he will have my dream rug and i can carry it home same day. we'll see. but for now i'm dreaming of owning my very own magic carpet. :) (images from rugstore.org)
