The {Smoothie} That Broke The Camel's Back

I accept a love/hate human relationship amongst my kitchen rugs.

I showed them to y'all non long ago, together with how I cut together with pieced an extra 1 together to brand them the perfect size for my kitchen.

Love the dark together with white.

Hate that they looked muddied v seconds subsequently I cleaned them, together with I had to throw them inward the washer to a greater extent than oftentimes than I wanted to.

Love the bold graphic statement.

Hate that they wrinkle upward together with acquire pushed unopen to easily, fifty-fifty amongst a carpeting pad underneath.

For the by calendar week or hence I've been thinking nigh looking for something different.  I hunted for the striped ones forever to respect the correct size, hence I wasn't looking also forrard to that prospect.

After cruising through Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, together with Pier 1, I establish zilch that was the correct colouring or size.

I started looking unopen to online together with had these upward on my hide for a day:

and spotted this 1 inward Emily A. Clark's kitchen.  She was dainty plenty to tell me it was from Ballard Designs:

They are all indoor/outdoor rugs made of synthetic material.  Not what I would peculiarly desire inward the theater unit of measurement room, but perfect for the abuse that they would brand it the kitchen (easier to vacuum than the others or to hose off if needed!).

And then, piece cleaning out the refrigerator that evening, this happened:

That's what I acquire for trying to build clean out the fridge. :)

I took it every bit confirmation that it was fourth dimension for the striped rugs to motion on.  They volition most probable respect some other home, they merely weren't correct for the kitchen.  Live together with learn!  That's definitely my decorating motto...although I'm genuinely trying to acquire things correct the offset fourth dimension around!

Last dark I was {this} unopen to ordering the Ballard rugs when I idea I'd hop on eBay to brand certain in that place was zilch in that place for a ameliorate deal...I was hence surprised at what I found!  These are all indoor/outdoor versions of nicer lineament rugs I've seen unopen to the web:

They are all genuinely from Overstock but were listed on eBay.  The cost was slightly ameliorate than the Ballard carpeting that I wanted, I ordered straight from Overstock hence I could purpose a coupon, together with the transportation was WAY ameliorate (I can't stand upward to pass a lot of $$ on shipping!).  I honey eBay together with accept bought a huge diversity of items over the years, together with accept e'er been happy! Well, except for once, but eBay was expert to correct the wrong.

Which 1 produce y'all intend I picked?  I'll demo y'all when they come upward in!
