Chevron on the Diagonal

Thank you for your suggestions on yesterday's post.  There were some really good ideas!  A friend of a friend is a color consultant and she has offered to give me some help on choosing a color to paint my house.  So, stay tuned!
This weekend I found an amazing blog - Live.Like.You.  Jill Sorenson (I love her desire for color) owns her own interior design firm called Marmalade Interiors and you must check out her projects.  While browsing her blog, I found this amazing Swedish shop called Brita Sweden.

They have these amazing woven plastic rugs, and one which caught my eye was the Gunnel pattern.  Chevron on the diagonal - how genious!
They are child proof, woven plastic that can be wiped down or thrown in the washer machine.  They are also eco-friendly (no heavy metals or toxic softener) and affordable!  Supposedly, $150 for their largest size (3' x 6.5').  I could definitely see adding this rug to a kitchen for an added punch of color or to a hallway to brighten it up.

You also have to check out their other products!  Colorful kid's aprons and stylish door mats.
And, I couldn't help but add this adorable picture advertising their products.  Too cute!
