A few weeks ago, I spied a tweet by designer and fellow blogstress, Camila about a chevron rug on Overstock. As I'm still on the chevron bandwagon, I linked over to the clearance website, and found this: Chevron Kilim Rug...
The price was too good to pass up ($130 for my 5x8), especially considering it's a natural fiber (i.e. wool and jute) rug.
It arrived today, and I have to say I'm initially very pleased. Now, don't get me wrong, this was not an expensive rug, so it is not very thick, and I don't imagine the weave is very hearty, but it gives great impact, which is what I wanted. I also like that it has a more natural, textural feel - making it at least somewhat unique among the sea of chevron rugs out there.
For now, ours is making itself at home in our entry. (yes, I know I need a larger console)

So, to summarize: Chevron kilim via Overstock gets a thumbs-up for value and looks. Bad news: I think I probably bought the last one, as it was under "high sell-out risk," and I can no longer find it on the site.

Sugar. I always miss the good stuff because I'm too hesitant. Love that fringe at the end.

I LOVE THAT! That would look awesome underneath my kitchen table. I may have to see if you did indeed swipe the last one, you tricky minx!
Indeed looks good, many great deals to find on Overstock. I bought a kilim recently but now I have nowhere for it.
Love the rug-great buy. Just stumbled upon your blog as we are in the process of buying a new home. Love your style and really love your he said/she said posts. hillarious!
Just found your awesome blog. How do you have those cute baskets hanging on your wall? I have an antique Indian basket with no rim on the bottom. I don't want to damage it. I hope you have a genius technique.
It looks great with your basket wall art!
