This here makes 2/3 of my posts so far - about rugs! I never knew I had so much to say about them until now. The reason I am posting about rugs again is because of a specific collection, one that I can't believe I forgot to mention before - the one that epitomizes a modern-traditional aesthetic, and should have been #1 on my list to discuss!
Behold: "From Russia with Love" by Jan Kath. I went to an event at Colin Campbell this past summer and saw these rugs for the first time - displayed vertically in all their giant glory. It was love at first sight...
Jan gets the inspiration for his rug designs from traditional motifs and reinterprets them in a modern way - this collection is obviously no exception. Taking inspiration from traditional folk textiles, Jan has created very contemporary interpretations of slavic floral designs...ones that I would one day like to get my hands on.
I didn't bother inquiring about the cost of such a rug, knowing that it is well out of my reach (and comprehension), but I haven't been able to forget those designs and the impact they would have in a room.

"The look for less" is something most of us want, and I've found a couple of alternatives for these gorgeous rugs. Good old Anthropologie's got the look, and in 4 different sizes!
