A few months ago, I stumbled across the company Coco Carpets. See, I was on Pinterest late one night (no surprise there) and this a-mazing boucherouite Moroccan rug stopped me in my tracks. Now, if you’ve been watching my Instagram, you’ll know I’ve been pining away for the perfect rug. It’s become a thing. At one point I had 3 rugs I didn’t like in the basement storage room and The Boy said if I brought a new rug home, an old one had to leave the nest. ERMERGERD! Who says this kind of things! What sort of monster are you?
MORE AFTER THE JUMP
Well, throwing caution to the wind, I immediately looked up their URL but there was only a coming soon message and a field to add my email to a notification list. Darn it! This rug was the bomb diggetty in my home. Waiting list it is.
Fast forward a few long months. Checking back to see if the site was up, stalking their Facebook page. Hello my name is Kyla and yes, I may have a rug problem. Which is funny because up until a year ago I was totally against rugs in the house. Go figure. Anyhoo, I finally got the email! HOORAY! They were open for business.
Coco Carpet rugs are all vintage…about 20-30 years old and would have originally been made by a Berber woman and used in her home. Each rug is one of a kind and made from wool and small portions of cotton thread.
I love the bright colors on the cream backdrops. Pinks, reds, teal, blues and orange. All in these beautiful organic patterns. I would have pulled the trigger, but alas, the rug I was in search of had to be at least 9″ X 12″. I was so sad. But Little Maus is getting a room makeover soon, as is the guest bedroom. I might just have to make it happen. Doctor Evil (AKA Lilttle Pinky) keeps whispering buy me in my ear. Check them out if you’re in the market for a unique, one-of-a-kind rug that will make your home decor memorable. It’s worth the investment and will last for years to come.

Oh my! These rugs though! I too share your rug problem. I used to think rugs were seriously icky and then one day it was like all these lovely textiles started materializing and now I’m just overwhelmed. I think I experience rug FOMO at least once a day. I’m too nervous to commit to a rug for a fear that a better one might come along! Is it time to start a local chapter of Rug Lovers Anonymous?

You and I girl, we are rug soul mates. I too have been afraid to pull the trigger in case a better one comes along. I’ve also been known to pick them up at an estate sale, bring them home and hate them. They are finicky little buggers.
OMG! I am in loooove! Can’t afford one though. But those are to die for.
Wow! I am totally in love with the first one! *sigh*
Take care, Ronja Lotte
I know! I love that one so much as well! I think it’s the bright pink that draws me in. I was bummed when I learned it sold mins after I posted. Sad face! But I’m told new inventory is arriving soon!
Ohh, I am jealous now! The rug is really stunning! I am sure you will be over the moon when your rug arrives 🙂
Sadly, I’m not the new owner. Someone else bought it. I so wish it was me!
What fantastic rugs! I look the vintage feel. I am always looking for eye-catching throw rugs to cover these chilly hardwood floors.
They are soooo good, right? I love all the bright colors incorporated into them!
