  16. You read my mind, girl! I JUST bought a rug like this from ebay last week! Sellers like pakobelrugs and rugrunnerauction start these rugs at $0.99, some with free shipping. I can't until the UPS man comes!

  19. I came to your website via, of course, the NYT article. (and I learned of it from GardenWeb) Since I am mad for pink I had to say I too love the rugs, and coincidentally enough, I recently purchased a few embarrassingly inexpensive kilims from pakobelrugs on eBay (as was already mentioned).

    I've two sons (both toddlers, and both all-boy [trucks, tools, swords, etc.]) but I'm a girly-girl so I've pink sprinkled throughout the house. It makes me happy and, quite frankly, that's good enough for me!

    Last summer I purchased two Lack side tables from IKEA, primed them with super-sticky primer and then painted them BM Pink Lady (raspberry). They're in the living room and they are Just Right. The family room is really a symphony of pink but no one but me notices ... which I guess is a good thing. There are many touches of pink in a Jawalakhel (Nepali) rug; the sofa is slipcovered in RL Malloy, which also has many lovely pinks in it; the armchairs are upholstered in muted raspberry Irish linen I brought to the US with me (after we'd lived in Belfast -- I "stole" the idea from Brooke de Ocampo's Bright Young Things), but since slipcovered in (another) RL cream / sage / raspberry stripe, with the ottomans slipcovered in a similar colorway with berries and dots (slipcovered because of children, so I don't yell and they don't feel I love our things more than I love them). Throw pillows from eBay's uzcraft777 and melekcarpet, and roman shades from Sanderson's William Morris Fruit line with subtle persimmons. But you'd never walk into the room and think "wow, pink!"

    Anyone who cheerleads for pink is my kind of gal! (Plus we live in Boulder, and I read that you made a visit out here.)
