Thanks again if you voted for any of these designs. I should be receving the Vintage Floral Stripe rug sample soon, so I’ll be sure to share pics when I have it here at the house. The larger version (the one in my photo is a 5’x8′) would look great in front of a checkout counter in a shop, or under a porch swing on a front porch. I could see smaller versions of it in front of a kitchen sink, inside a back door, or outside a front door. What a treat to see that one come to life! It looks almost exactly like my original design and I think it’ll be so fun to see where folks use it. Last but not least, my Home Hardware rug: I’m sad the other one won’t make it onto any little ones’ floors, but I’m so grateful they were open to our suggestions! □ Find your perfect carpet and connect back with us. I asked them if they’d be open to the possibility of making both rugs available for sale, but they said only want to produce one of them, and based on the results from a poll I posted on Instagram, I think we’re going to go with the flat weave instead of the plush. Order Dash and Albert through Stoney Creek Furniture and save. It was a splurge though Dash and Albert rugs are a much better price point :). My stair runner is actually just carpet that I purchased from a local design boutique. The way stair runners work is that you purchase the rug (or carpet slab) and create a runner from it. I picture that one used as a kind of “layering” rug…ya know, on top of a larger jute or sisal rug to add color, pattern and a different texture. The Dash and Albert rugs make great runners. Thankfully, they were open to my request and created sample #2: Constructed using a flat weave in durable 100 cotton, it is perfectly designed to make a style statement in any space. Dash & Albert Cottage Stripe Cotton Rug Collection Available in a fun array of striped patterns, this reversible, handwoven cotton rug collection is poised to mix and match, providing a burst of brilliance in casual decors throughout your home. ![]() I thought it would look great in a kids room, nursery or playroom, but it wasn’t exactly what I had envisioned, so I asked them if they could produce a flat weave version with bigger, cleaner-lined stars and fringe along the edges. The one they wanted me to see is the plush one with smaller stars: One that they dreamed up, and one that is more of what I originally had in mind. The team at Annie Selke put together two samples of my Octogram Star rug. The designs have changed a bit throughout the process, but they’re still very much in keeping with my original ideas. Before I share the photos though, here are small mock-ups of the three rugs they’ll be producing: Dash and Albert Rugs Jute Ticking Handmade Jute/Sisal Indigo/Beige Rug Solana Handwoven Cotton Area Rug in Beige/Navy Mark D. I received some samples of two of my designs last week, and thought I’d show you how they’re coming together. You may remember that all three of the designs I submitted to the Annie Selke Rug Design Challenge made it into the top ten, so they’ll be available for purchase later this Fall through Dash & Albert. ![]() ![]() I have an exciting rug update to share with you today.
