Frontgate Outdoor Carpet

Okay, so don't think I'm a one-trick-decorating-ponyboy or nuthin', but did I mention I like Greek key motifs? On carpets? Well look at what Frontgate has done:


Chic, right? Also referred to as a "meander," this design is so simple yet so easy to screw up. I love the robust scale of the border and the black and cream combo is my fave. They're 100% polypropylene, come in seven different sizes, and cost only $175 for a 5'-9" x 9'-2". Meant for outdoors but I could also see one in a mudroom or playroom or hothouse or anywhere that gets a lot of moisture because they resist mildew. What repulsive words, moisture and mildew.

  2. I am in the market for an outdoor rug - but I am going to use it under my kitchen table! Any rug that can be cleaned by hosing it off works for me - especially when there are kids in the household.

    This one is a bit bold for me, but I will check out their website to see what else they have this season. Thanks for the tip!

  7. Oh, you and those Greeks. I agree that they managed to get this one right, and the price is not too bad either. Have a great week.

  10. For the record, we take issue with this one-sided post.

  14. Good lord. One of these days, you're going to wake up and go, "What the eff was I thinking? All those years I tried to get my fans on board with Greek key. I pushed hard for it. I loved it. And now I hate it. How do I undo what is already so far gone?"

    ;)

    We love you.

  16. I went on a rampage to find a greek key rug and this was at the top of the list. Youre so right, so easy to mess it up.

    But what I am looking for here is for someone to tell me that it wont be weird or tacky to have a rug of this material in my livingroom/diningroom nyc apt. like i said, its the best Ive found, but is it scratchy?
