We get a good many emails and inquiries from readers (friends and strangers alike) asking advice on certain projects, products, or design dilemmas. Because it's hard to keep up with the correspondance, we've decided to start a new feature - "Free Advice Friday" which will run once or twice a month.
One reader wrote asking for guidance in finding children's rugs for her new home. Pottery Barn Kids wasn't cutting it, and she wasn't sure where else to turn. So here goes!
For a kids room or nursery, you can't go wrong with a versatile bordered or braided rug that can grow with the child and his/her changing needs and tastes. Serena and Lily, Land of Nod, and Restoration Hardware Baby & Child offer some great options.
Serena and Lily, $299-599
