Needing, Wanting, Loving: A Chic Runner

I love making a statement through a single piece of décor. Whether it be a fabulous abstract watercolor painting above a fireplace, a velvet leopard cluchair, or a colorful runner that adds life to a mundane hallway- a single element that can pack a punch isn't easily forgotten. Today I thought I'd share a few of my favorite runners (mostly Persian- no surprise there) that bring life to hallways, kitchens, and living spaces:

Alex Kaehler added this blush pink Persian rug to her kitchen- and the result is stunning. I love the pop of color and life the rug adds against the sleekness of her kitchen cabinetry and tile.

And finally- who can get over Erin Gates Glen Eden leopard stair runner? Not I. The lusciousness of the print honestly makes me drool.

{Erin Gates, Elements of Style}
Speaking of Erin, girlfriend will be making an appearance and signing her newly released coffee table book, Elements of Style, tomorrow at Tootsies here in Houston from 6-8 pm! Can you guess where I'll be? Yep, acting like a bonafied fan girl as I meet one of my favorite fellow bloggers.
