Our very own rug appassionata, JaneT, selected this from the many choices generously made available by the giveaway sponsor csn rugs. Jane feels that the colors and style is so basic this sweet 2.6 x 4.2 area rug (a $100 value) could enhance almost any décor. We also are hooked on hand-knotted rugs made of a durable, natural fiber.

Comments must include your screen name and a working email address in the U.S. or Canada. (You cannot comment anonymously, duh). Tell your friends!

Nice rug…and happy first giveaway!

What a gorgeous rug. Alas, I live in Australia, so am not eligible for this great giveaway, but good luck to all, and an early congrats to whoever wins such a beautiful looking rug.
Great choice for the color JaneT, as it would suit many homes.

What a fun giveaway! I think it would look really good in MY house (hint, hint).
June 18th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
I agree with Jasmine, JaneT made a very good choice. I can see the colors working nicely in a couple of rooms. Thank you for offering this!
June 18th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
It was made for for our kitchen. We’ll provide a great home for it and will send pictures on every birthday.

Gorgeous rug. My boyfriend and I are moving into our first house soon and need a rug for the living room and one for the basement. This is perfect!

Terry, wish I could give you extra points for humor
very funny! I tried to leave a comment on your blog but blogger doesn’t always cooperate with non-blogger blog urls. But I am following you now on Twitter.
And to everyone else on Julia’s list that doesn’t receive a comment from me, please know it’s not that I didn’t try. Some of my most witty comments disappeared into cyberspace thanks to uncooperative comment boxes.
Good luck to everyone on the Giveaway & glad you like the rug!!
June 19th, 2009 at 12:14 am

A giveaway that includes Canada? And something as lovely as this? I must be dreaming!

This versatile rug would look perfect on my new hardwoord floors. Thanks for this great giveaway.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:51 am
this is beautiful!
June 19th, 2009 at 5:37 am
Like Lizzie, I’m VERY impressed that it includes Canada – most giveaways don’t! Such a rug would look stunning in my hallway which has been crying out for one for ages. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!!
June 19th, 2009 at 7:13 am
Well………this is fun! Great idea.
June 19th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Yes, please. Count me in.
June 19th, 2009 at 7:45 am
I’m just here gawking and saying thank you to everyone who is participating. Can’t wait to see where the rug “lands” and hope whomever wins it will send us pics in the new home. Very exciting!
June 19th, 2009 at 8:17 am
Count me out of the contest, I don’t actually WANT the rug (beautiful, but it’s a coals-to-Newcastle-thing); I simply wanted to commend AtticMag for the fun promotion, and JaneT for the beautiful choice. Can you modify the post so that we can see a larger image of the carpet if we click on it? Would love to see more detail.
June 19th, 2009 at 8:36 am
So pretty -count me in!
June 19th, 2009 at 8:37 am
What a gorgeous rug! It will be perfect for our new house.

I’ve been internet rug-hunting for weeks–if not months–trying to find a nice, light, natural fibre rug. We’re transforming my office into a baby’s room. This one brings out the colour of the walls (green), yet isn’t too overpowering. Crossing my fingers!
June 19th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Rug is awesome! Would look quite lovely in my kitchen
June 19th, 2009 at 10:17 am
Lovely giveaway!
June 19th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Don’t listen to Julia…it would look better in MY house! lol
June 19th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
I love rugs… and that one looks like it would fit in any decor!
Have a FUN Friday!

The colors in the rug are clean and soothing; the texture is very appealing.
My daughter would just love that rug in her mid century modern apartment!
June 19th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
What a lovely, versatile rug! Congrats on the giveaway.

June 19th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Been to India several times and the rugs I’ve seen are often pretty wildly coloured. This one is beautiful in that it would fit with almost any decor.
June 19th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Who couldn’t use a handsome new rug?
June 19th, 2009 at 10:45 pm

What a beautiful rug, Thanks for your wonderful customer service this morning, June 20th, when we picked up our rugs. We enjoyed sharing stories about our families and their ties to Oakland. Thanks again
June 21st, 2009 at 1:39 am
I don’t want to sound crude here, but we are looking for a nice rug to go into our yard tent (it’s a brick patio the tent sits on, 10′ x 12′, fully furnished), and to be truthful, the colour matches the tent colour very nice. The tent is a dark sand colour, and the wife is decorating the inside this year with bright lime-green curtains and same colour throw pillows.
Me, I like the more subdued colours, so this rug fits my choice very nicely!
Uh, I live in Canada, so IF I do win it, I’ll send you my FedEx account number as our summers are kinda short and I would like to enjoy the rug before I have to take the tent down prior to our annual August Snowfall.
Really, no kidding! It happens every now and then. Very first year we moved here, August 21st, 1997, 6″ of snow, 0 degrees C as highs for 3 days. As we were moving, all our winter clothes are still in the moving truck somewhere in Central Canada…We froze our..uh, well, it was reeeeeel cold, eh?
June 21st, 2009 at 1:39 am
wow, I’d be so happy if I had that rug. What a fun giveaway!
June 21st, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Nice rug– and nice site! I’m glad I stopped by to try to win this rug, because your site has been inspiring.

What a cool rug! and what a great concept. Crossing fingers for the rug.
June 21st, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Edwin, you make a charming case for worthiness and those of us down here who have sea breezes certainly would like to see our friends north of us enjoy maximum comfort during your brief warm season (though we have yet to see a warm season this year). However, I want to assure everyone that the winner of the rug will be chosen randomly, impartially and transparently! All will be revealed on Thursday!
June 21st, 2009 at 5:42 pm
nice looking rug! i love the neutral colors and the simple pattern, a very nice piece that will blend well into many different types of styles. thank you so much for sharing this with your readers
June 21st, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Hello folks–I see some familiar names here–and lovely pick, Jane! Think I’ll have to stop by more often…

I love this rug. The colors are so soothing and, should I win it, it would be so much fun to share with the world on my Furniture Today blog at http://www.furnituretoday.com “Retail Ideas” how I came to have it in my home!
Twitter rocks and so does @GuildCraftRugs for alerting me to your great contest. I love that the drawing is random and so soon! Makes it fun!
