A love affair: tribal rugs - and where to find them on sale...

Oriental rugs are a classic that are seeing a big revival as of late. We're seeing them everywhere, and modern interiors and traditional interiors are sporting these tribal beauties.

Luckily you don't need to have tons of money to get your own - I've been seeing them regularly on sale and at a big discount.  Below are a sample of some of what you can find on sale and where to snag them...

Can't swing a carpet right now?  Grab a pillow made from antique rugs for about $100

The above are all on sale right now at Gilt. To shop the Gilt sales - you have to be a member - but it's free and fast - gilt.com


One Kings Lane is another flash sale site that seems to have regular sales on tribal rugs..

This beauty is listed at $1,950 - but they have it for sale at $599!

I didn't hear about "Beyond on Rack" until recently - but they seem to have regular sales on rugs like these..(and also lots of great home organization stuff!)

 This 7'7" x 1'9" runner is on sale for $129.99!

 so gorgeous..

One bad thing about these flash sale sites is that they only last a couple of days - and the good stuff sells out fast...

I got my pride and joy - below - from the sale site Ideeli.

House tours from Domino

As part of my ongoing series of posts honoring our late friend Domino, I now bestow upon you some lovely house tours we all came to look forward to every month. *sigh* Enjoy.

Mary McDonald's "Tom Jones rock" inspired kitchen. I like the typography plates.


Kathryn Ireland's rustic style home. I love the humble bathroom, and the console in the kitchen with the dishes stowed underneath.



Actress Julianne Moore's stab at interior decorating. I like some of the choices she made - not all my style, but still pretty. I like the piece of drift wood on the radiator.


A rebuilt green home in New Orleans.


Domino style director Dara's lovely white bedroom.









I love Amanda Peet's down-to-earth, bohemian home. It's so ethereal and filled with interesting, meaningful objects. I also love that you can tell that she had a hand in it. She didn't just hire some designer to come in and make it look like a movie star's home.
