Vintage Shag Rug

I'm totally hooked on the new Bravo TV show Million Dollar Decorators.  There's something so comical about high drama design.  No doubt, I can't deny the talent that the decorators showcase.  In the midst of the designers having a meltdown whether to use high back or low back bar stools, I really appreciate the risk takers who incorporate totally unexpected pieces into their spaces.

I wanted to discover more of what these decorators had to offer, so naturally, I googled their websites.  I was pleasantly surprised to come across some really unique objects in Kathryn Ireland's shop.  I really get a kick out of her brash English humor and her playful style of integrating pattern and color.

How about this for unexpected?  A vintage shag rug for a mere $16,500.  A tad bit out of my price range, but that's considered way under budget for these decorators.  In the past, whenever I came across this style of a hairy rainbow beast, my reaction was a bit indifferent.  Not anymore!  I'm really digging it!    I love the unlimited color palette to work with and all that "hair", well... looks kinda cozy all of a sudden.   Check out this show stopper on Kathryn Ireland's website, right HERE.
