Done. The kitchen shoot is complete. Whew! I’m just as much in the dark about what went on yesterday as you, as most of the dirty work was done while I was at work. The report from the crew was that it was a successful day and that we’ll be featured sometime next spring. That feels like a really, really long time to wait, but I’ll just have to tough it out.
I’m sure you are all sick and tired of hearing about my kitchen, so I’m quickly moving on to a totally unrelated topic – rugs. Did you know you can find 5×8 rugs (and larger) on overstock.com for under $200?! Here are a few of my top picks…

Hand-carved Alexa Velvet Diamonte Ivory Faux Silk Rug (5’3 x 7’6)

Hand-tufted Grey/ Gold Wool Rug (5′ x 8′)

Alexa Euro Collection Swirl Charcoal Rug


Handmade Alexa Pino Rose Fantasy Brown Rug

Hand-tufted Vintage New Zealand Wool Rug

Hand-tufted Garden Beige Wool Rug
There are literally 71 pages full of 5×8 rugs, and again, all of the ones above are under $200.00! And with $2.95 shipping, why not order a few and play around with them in the space? I’m certainly on the lookout for a new dining room rug, and I think overstock.com will be the first stop on my hunt.

Congrats on the shoot! SO very exciting!
Overstock is our go to place for just about everything. We always check there first, even though we don’t always end up purchasing. But yes, their rugs are a STEAL. And shipping is practically non-existent, so it WORKS. Shoot, we even got our MATTRESS from Overstock, and yes, it shipped for $2.95!

Wow, I have been looking for a runner. Will have to check here. I was tempted by the Chevron West Elm, but now I’m going to check out Overstock! Just to cover the bases.

Congrats on the photo shoot…can’t wait to see the final pictures and I don’t know if I could wait that long if I were you.
I love overstock for rugs….I have stalking them for the the past month for the perfect rug for our family room. Lots have been fabulous but I am being really picky about the colors, size and price. Hopefully I will find the perfect fit soon!

I absolutely love your kitchen, can’t wait to see their photos. As for overstock and rugs, I just ordered my second one from them. Last spring we bought ann 8×11 100% new zealand wool rug from overstock for $400 and it was a steal! I love it and i know it will last forever. I did my research because there were no reviews of the rug but found it out in web world retailing for $1300. Its a Surya Zuna Rug designed by Jill Rosenwald. I couldn’t believe it but figured I’d take the chance. Yep, its the real deal and I’m sure has some slight flaw for which they had to sell them on overstock or something but I don’t see it. I waited and waited because still $400 was more than I’d spent on a rug yet, but when it can to the last one in stock I told my hubby and he went on an bought it and surprised me later! Here are some pics on my blog http://ryanandstacybeck.blogspot.com/2010/07/death-by-interior-design.html. It wasn’t described as a surya rug but similar to your rug examples as a hand tufted new zealand rug.
