The Little Rug That Could...

It's so funny to me how much i like this little black and white striped rug... 

It just adds this little pop of personality wherever you put it

so i call it 

""the little rug that could"

I even posed some pink roses from the garden on it, because not many things look better to me than pink, and white and black !

 I see that color combination occasionally in magazines, like a zebra rug with a soft pink mohair sofa, and maybe lucite side tables...
oh my gosh....soooo yummy together 

Here it sits right at the front door

It's also been in front of the kitchen sink

I bought it at Crate and Barrel, and since it was small it didn't cost too much, so that was good...
they do have bigger ones

There's not much to it,... but it has alot of impact for such a small little feller...

Here it is posing with a dead dog...

ok, she's not really a dead dog...

have you ever looked around your house when the dogs are all crashing and sleeping on the floor, and thought it looked like you had a bunch of dead dog bodies lying around in your house?

ok, maybe it's just me that thinks that way

see the little table on the left, it was just all brown and boring when i found it at the thrift shop...

i just painted it white, and now it's a great spot for well, whatever... i have lots of glass jars in it, because for some reason i can hardly bear to get rid of glass jars...

pay no attention to all the crap on the stairs, and the random glass door behind the chair please..

i have some faux fleurs, old books from the thrift shop and a lantern from the TJ Maxx on the table right now

here is a little closeup

here are the same roses i posed on "the little rug that could", sitting on a silver tray

you see the two prints in the background... 

they are 'artist's proofs' of giclee prints of some of my paintings

i have the artist who creates my giclee prints, print these so i can compare and get the color just perfect for any prints i sell...

it's all a pretty big pain in the butt actually... and kind of expensive... the whole process 

but it is fun selling prints to people who appreciate them, so it makes it all worth it

ummm...  i see that the price tag is still on the silver tray, i don't see details, 

i'm pretty sure there's something wrong with me 

 

i sure have enjoyed my roses this summer

the little rug, peeking from behind the chair, so small, but so fun...

of course there is a random bag hanging on the doorknob in the background, details again...

 please lower your expectations of good staging and photographs from me

and one more photo of 

"the little rug that could"

bein' all pretty with pink roses...

...the end...
