I'm a big believer in investing in quality pieces for your home and very often one of those pieces is an area rug.  The rug in my living area was one of the more expensive things I purchased but it completely set the tone for the room.  Sometimes, though, you just want a little fun.  This rug may be a little trendy color and pattern-wise, but it is still 100% wool and nicely made.  I found it on the World Market site for $449 (on sale with no shipping charges) for a 5'x8'.  The deal of the century?  No.  But a good balance between fun and smart.
