Madeline Weinrib
While searching for carpets to take the place of my MISSING WSHome rug, I stumbled into Madeline Weinrib's website. And then spent the entire morning dreaming and trying to convince stores that sell her stuff to sell to me and ship. Yes...living in Central Maine has its drawbacks. Also, I found an article about how Madeline Weinrib actually sued WSHome for copyright infringement. I agree Madeline!
So check it out:

Anyway, onto more positive things. I may have changed my mind about a rug for the dining room anyway. Look at this one:
The inspiration for the color change comes from my Mottahedeh Sacred Bird and Butterfly China:
Plus, I'm still very definite about navy and white for the living room. Because the dining room and living room are connected via two beautiful pocket doors, I need to consider that the colors in each room work together. I adore navy and orange together. Jon is not sold...so I still have work to do. Also...I can't find prices for the Madeline Weinrib rugs anywhere! In the process of trying to find prices/someone to sell me these rugs, I found this adorable store/interior design company in San Francisco: Lotus Bleu Some of their interior design does what I wish I could do - blend modern patterns with traditional and antique furniture.
Why do I have to live so far from cute shops!?
i love the orange rug. that would look so fab with those dishes. i am still steaming at ws!
ReplyDeleteBetter to not find the price of MW rugs. And fabrics, and pillows . . . they will stab you in the eye.
ReplyDeleteAgain, lottery, where are you? I am waiting.
Love the rug with the china. When it gets there, Jon won't even notice. Trust me!
Mmmm. Love the rug. I agree it would look oh so fab in that space. The price, though, sounds painful.
ReplyDeleteHow about a painted floorcloth? Dan and I have been talking about making one for years. Why not make 2?
Oh Alice, that's an awesome idea. Especially for the dining room. I was thinking that it might be stupid to put an expensive rug under a dining table (that we also use as our kitchen table) where it would catch food and shoe dirt. And if we ever have kids...those little monsters drop food all the time. Haha. Oh decisions, decisions.
