Magic Carpet

Posted on 18:21 by kumar
Ahem, notice anything different?

I'm groovin' on my HUGE wool reversible area rug I bought on Roncesvalles Ave. today for ... FIVE BUCKS!

This is a grunge queen moment to be savoured.

I bought it at the Eldorado Second Hand Store at 482 Roncesvalles Ave. in Toronto's west end, where you can buy stuff by the pound and for 1 or 2 bucks each - would have been way more if the owner was selling it by the pound but thankfully she wasn't.



I dig that it matches some of my other decorative elements - and it's perfectly fab for the Gemini in me as it's the same pattern and colour except in reverse on the other side! That means two carpets in one!

But the living room look isn't perfect - too much orange and green. Think a good 'ole grunge queen makeover could be in order. This rug will just pop with my deep indigo blue pieces ....
