Sample Sale

So, I mentioned Madeline Weinrib in a post recently, and guess what came in the mail?

A postcard with an invitation to a sample sale! YEAH! Of cause I did not really expect to buy anything, but it does not cost anything to look, right? Right??

Well.......... I found the perfect runner, marked down a thousand percent, I am so happy I went.
Turns out it was a custom colored runner for someone (who wasn't happy with it, I take) so now it ended up with me!



It is the same Greek key pattern as above, only the colors are different. Since it was custom colored, I have been unable to locate an image..... The key motif is white and the body is turquoise-y, on the green side, perfect for my house!

I spy....

....Stripes. Thick black & white stripes.



OK, so at the moment I do not have any stripes in my home, but I am planning on changing that! I have come across so many Black & White striped interiors lately; in magazines, old tear sheets, other blogs and in my files.



I am drawn to the graphic, thick bold stripes....





I have had my eye on this Ikea rug above, since the gorgeous Madeline Weinrib rug is out of my price range.

What is your take? Are the stripes here to stay, or are they done?
