Finally, a Rug for the Kitchen

I knew I wanted a rug under the table in my kitchen.  I also knew I wanted something in a natural fiber.  Unfortunately, I had a hard time finding the size I needed (6′ x9′) at a price I wanted to pay.  In fact, I almost stopped looking.  I went ahead and did the big kitchen reveal sans said illusive rug.  Then one day I virtually hopped over to Ballard Designs and what do you know – they had the perfect rug!  Oh happy day!

Before

After

This is the Sunbrella Bordered Seagrass Rug.  I’ve had it in here for a couple weeks now, and I’m very happy with the look, feel, and quality.  It’s so great for hiding crumbs (especially with my dark floors).

I had no idea how hard it could be to find a 6′ x 9′ rug, but Ballard sells that size in lots of different styles.

I love the way the chairs stand out against this rug.  Speaking of which, many of you wanted me to share how the stenciled chairs would hold up to lots of use.  They’re doing great – kid tested – mother approved.  😉

The new rug works well with the rug I already had (from Lowes) in front of the kitchen sink. 

Hope you all have a great weekend!  We’ll be cheering on the CATS tonight!  Then maybe a little Hunger Games action on Saturday night!!  Happy Friday to all of you.  Thanks so much for making this little blogging adventure so. much. fun!

  • I was JUST looking at that rug! I'm thinking about doing the one without the border. I figured it would break up a little of the white in my kitchen. You know with the newly painted table and all;)

  • Ballard Designs items are amazing. This looks perfect against your floor and table/chairs and sets off the upholstery beautifully and the functionality of it adds to the overall great choice.

    1. You know I love the sprayed yellow bottles!
    2. The corner nook with the horse pillow and red throw is perfecto!
    3. Love that rug in your kitchen, the trim perfectly ties your drapes! Question: how is it having a rug under you kitchen table? How's the clean up? I have to sweep under mine everyday.
    4. I have that same chandy…sprayed it black a few yrs ago, would love to spray it a bright color now. Can't wait to see what you're doing with the pink one!
