Hello World! This one will actually be a short post. Miracle, I know. I have nothing to say about the thought process about buying new rugs for the kitchen. I was tired of my old ones. I was in Target shopping for something completely different (isn’t that how it always goes at Target?). I just happened to wander down the rug isle and spied the rug. The rug was only $14.00 bucks. I bought two of them. Came home, put them down on the floor. See, it was nothing. No thought process. No game plan. No intention. Now I have new rugs. Sweet!
Below is a shot of the previous rug in my kitchen at my prior home.
Goodness, those counters are clean and free of clutter. I must up my game in this house.
Such a fun pattern. I’m noticing that I’m now being drawn to very bold patterns and colors. Before, my tastes were pretty, but a little on the tame side. Like a pretty English rose.
Also, a great thing about this rug is that it has a dark background which hides dirt much easier than my previous rug that had the cream background. Not that I’m hiding dirt. Well, I guess I hide dirt until I get the time to clean up said dirt. LOL
Here’s the one by the back door. The double doors lead to my pantry. See that icky sliver of paint in the corner? That’s changing soon.
What do you think of my new rugs? Don’t you find the best purchases are the ones you stumble upon?
Alright, my loves, I’m off to get Little Dedicated ready so we can pick up Mr. Dedicated from the airport. He’s been away on business this week. We are ready to have him home!

Great rug, very fun! I find choosing a rug for the kitchen is always the most challenging. Have to love Target! I can't get out of there under $100!
Love the new rugs! Great color, pattern and price. You did good!

That rug is only $14?! Wow, that's so cool! And it's cute to boot too!

Oh so pretty and inexpensive…I love that! I do want one like it for my kitchen. Your kitchen is gorgeous dear Kathryn.
You did good.
Have a great weekend.

The purchases that are not planned are always the best. The ones researched….well they never come up to scratch do they! Awesome choice!
Thanks for linking up to Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning.
Nice, love the new rugs!!
Your rug is pretty. I love the pattern and the color.
Love quick fixes that make a great change! Looks great!
Hi, I'm visiting from Wow Us Wednesday. Your rug is very pretty, especially the bold color. I hope you will drop by.
I love the design and colors! Your whole kitchen looks lovely! Thank you for sharing this at the #SmallVictoriesSundayLinkup!
I love what the bold color and pattern adds to your kitchen….the dirt hiding isn't a bad feature either. I love how a cheap, small change can make such a big difference in a room!
Isn't it funny how in some shops things just "fall" into your basket without you really meaning for them to! Some times the price is so good and the item so lovely it's just rude not to though.
They look so good. Pinned and tweeted! Thanks for being a part of our party. I hope to see you, Monday at 7 pm. Lou Lou Girls
This just shows that not every design decision has to be filled with agony. Love the color and pattern! Target for the win again!
Great find, love it!
Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!
Blessings,

Kathryn, I have brought rugs home from Target on more than one occasion. lol! They really do have some great ones. Love the navy and the design! I recently attended our local Home Shows and Navy was the new hot color. You are on top of it girl! So happy to have you join SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Wonderful pattern! Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!
I too find the best purchases when I'm not looking for anything in particular. Your rug looks great! Thanks for sharing on Found & Foraged!
Cute rugs!!! This reminds me… I need new rugs! I'll get some eventually. Anyhoo… Thanks for sharing at the Submarine Sunday Link Party!!!
It's amazing how a rug can spruce up an ordinary space. Accent colors are so much fun to play around with 🙂
