Beautiful! I have that red and blue kilim rug... funny how small the world really is that I could own something handmade that someone else owns on another continent. It makes me wonder if they were made by the same artisan somewhere in a remote village in Afganistan who now has their art work on display on the web. I bought mine on ebay about 6 years ago, I wonder where Alon and Betsy got theirs... anyway, I digress, but it really is a wonderful and peaceful home.

Personally, I love things that are distressed and aged, but for me it just doesn't work on walls. Some of those bedrooms look like they belong to a serial killer... just creepy. Keep the distressed look for the furniture please.

I also have had a horrible time with bagless vacuums, and I just threw out my last one a couple months ago. If I could afford a Dyson, I may have had better luck, but the cheaper bagless vacs all lose suction after a very short period of time and it makes such a mess to clean the filter and empty the canister. I am a bag type of girl for sure.
