Sisel / Jute / Seagrass Rugs 101

Since I am in the process of redecorating my home I have decided to go on a hunt for a couple sisel / jute / seagrass (whatever you want to call it these days rug) for my living room and bedroom.

Redecorating My Home Day 1

As some of you know I am redecorating my home. I am moving out almost everything and taking it to the showroom. So if there is an item that you may want from my house, most likely its now at Turquoise (if it hasn't already been sold) and remember all items are 40% off.
