Fantasy House Friday [The Rug Company]
When I saw this rug, it made me go weak at the knees. I know. Just like the boy (or girl) you had a massive crush on at high school, only now that I'm happily married with two children, it's rugs and other beautiful homewares, that have this effect on me.
As sad as I am that it's well and truly out of my budget in this lifetime, it's still made me happy to to have come across it, and at least I can pop it in the Fantasy House, right? Come on, humour me here...
Designed by the perpetually amazing Vivienne Westwood, the Thistle rug is a nod to her affinity with Scotland, featuring an abstract representation of the milk thistle.
Hand knotted from Tibetan wool and silk (obvs!), it's available in this to-die-for pale rose and gold, or
. I'd happily accept either.
It's been a while since I lost myself in The Rug Company website, so excuse me while I go and do just that, and admire not only the stunning rugs, but the always fabulous styling.
