Kaki Shopping

When my hubby travelled to India on business the last time round which was a good 2 years ago, he almost bought a beautiful silk rug for our home. In fact, he sent me some photos of the rugs he considered buying then, and although they were all breathtakingly beautiful, the price was exorbitant! So we gave it a pass.

Then after he came back, my hubby and I visited his manager’s home where I personally saw, felt and sat on one of those 100% silk rugs his manager bought from India too. And I tell you, I was completely blown away! I had never felt anything like it before…and I loved it even more because the rug goes perfectly well with our timber strip flooring. Turns out though that the price of the rugs in India weren’t all that expensive compared to the price we would have gotten if we had got them over here instead. Regretting a little for not buying ourselves one of those rugs at that time, we could do nothing but admire the one in his manager’s house.

Well, since we do not foresee any more business trips to India, this means I will have to rely on internet sources to get ourselves a rug if I really want it. I know for a fact that there is a splendid collection of Oriental Rugs and even Area Rugs available online. Rugs that will change the demeanor of a room or a home in just a blink of an eye, literally. And I bet I can find some treasures in the clearance section too. There are rugs to suit every whim and fancy, from the traditional kinds to some that are conventional and modern. Now to find myself some moolah and get one of those gorgeous rugs to adorn our living room floor in time for Chinese New Year!
