I find myself in quite the conundrum. I would really like to own this chair. It is, however, $1898.00 + tax + shipping. Then comes conundrum #2: I would like to own a pair of them. For some reason I have developed rag rug fever (not to be confused with Bieber fever and Flea Market Fever although I have combed the latter in an attempt to satisfy the current). Sometimes I swear Anthropologie is reading my mind. I think things up and the next thing you know they magically appear in their shop. It's kind of uncanny.
About 6 months ago I saw this rug (and subsequently sought out 50 more like it):
It's a Boucherouite rug straight out of Morocco
--(not to be mistaken for Mariah Carey's kid).
Immediately I thought of my grandma who used to be able to make a rag rug like no other. The rug lived in my mind. Okay it lives in my mind. I thought about hanging it on the wall, putting it on the floor in my living room, swaddling up in it at bedtime...covering a chair. And then there was Anthropologie - having swooped into me ol' noggin they went on to produce the very item I've been dreaming of.
I have now convinced myself that if the closets can ever get purged and organized I think I am going to try and make a version of this rug. Check back in 5 years to see if I've actually succeeded. On a serious note though - I think I could do it if I could find enough of the right fabric colors.
Help.me.
