It is nice to imagine a life without financial constraints.
In this imagined scenario, my shopping destinations would be Dash and Albert.
I have a great fondness for both, particularly their collection of carpets.
The designs they offer are wonderfully playful.

(Birmingham Denim Woven Cotton Rug ~6 x 9 ~ $248.00)
And it brings joy.

{Spinnaker Woven Cotton Rug ~ 8 x 10 $495.00}
It evokes a lovely beach cottage atmosphere.

{Marina Stripe Indoor Outdoor Carpet ~ 6 x 9 $405.00}
I can envision placing one of these in at least 6 locations, both inside and outside the house, but the Dining Room table area is where I would begin. I feel a burst of pattern and cheer would significantly enhance that area.

I considered painting stripes onto the aforementioned plain rug, but I simply could not visualize it working.
Subsequently, a fortunate shopping discovery occurred.
While browsing in Walmart recently, I was looking through the rugs; I always keep an eye on the bin of boxed commercial carpet.
I am truly thankful I paid attention; take a look at what I found!

A striped commercial bound carpet!
It is cheerful, joyful, and perfectly beach cottagey...

...and it was only $34.00!
I absolutely adore these unexpected shopping wins!
