My kilim arrived on Friday! I LOVE it!!! I ordered it from an ebay seller in Turkey, and I have to admit I was a little bit nervous that it wouldn’t be what I expected when it arrived… but it is perfect! According to the listing it is 80 years old, made of natural wool, and vegetable dyed. The colors are so gorgeous! Just what I wanted. It arrived in less than 2 weeks, which also surprised me. Here’s a close-up:
Carissa! Oh my gosh it's beautiful! The colors are so vibrant. It looks wonderful in your living room.
ReplyDeleteCarissa! I think it looks perfect in the room, its very urban chick! We just did a post about how to achieve an "urban chic" (www.eieihome.com/blog/how-to-decorate-with-black.html) look and i think you nailed it! Would it be possible if you did a "sourcing list" for this room? Im really interested in the curtains, love the chevron pattern
ReplyDeletewow...It looks so wonderful in your room! Love all the colour & the design is so creative! The whole room just clicks! Happy for you!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing! I too would have been totally nervous ordering a rug from Turkey, but it looks like it paid off big time.
ReplyDeleteYahoooo!!! I just love it. I took a risk in ordering 2 rugs from Morocco and ended up hating one but LOVING the other. Looks like you picked a winner here!! I love the gold table with it!! xxox
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous and looks amazing in your room!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love Turkish Kilims. We have one that we got in Turkey in 2000 and it is in perfect shape still, in spite of dogs and kids. I love the colours in yours - it adds so much texture to the room.
ReplyDeleteThat's one killer kilim! It fits right it. Yay! Great find.
