My older son brought me this beautiful rug from Iran on this visit.
It is so lovely that a) I had to decorate my room around it, and b) I had to show it you, my gentle readers.
The divan is in the dining room. The long carved sticks you see on the corner table are whistling sticks from Bhopal- you twirl them around at speed and they whistle!

The rug is absolutely gorgeous! The colours are beautiful. So is everything else - the chairs, the cushions, divan... lovely :)
Gosh the rug is so vivid and energising! Loved it! And the whistling sticks are something my husband wants to buy at every exhibition, but I stop him, coz certain little people might assume it's for other purposes :P
@Arundhati: Thank you! I love to play around with colours in my home:)
@starry eyed: Any such stick is very tempting to many people, including little ones:) I'm loving the vibrant colours too:)
Next time I visit I want to twirl those sticks
@eve's lungs: Do that!
And I prefer this to the green theme

Very vibrant..
I guess it is time to change the brown, beige and olive colour scheme in my home.
this is really pretty. Whistling sticks eh..it must have been wonderful growing up in your house.
Beautiful - the rug, the room and you.

@eve's lungs: The green theme is cool, lovely in peak summer. This looks lovely when it's cloudy outside:)
@sandhya: Thanks:)
@Aneela Z: Ours has always been a mad house, but the whistling sticks are a recent addition.
@chox: Thanks.*blushes modestly*
@kbpm: Thanks! Let's form a society of whistling stick owners:)
I love the rug. And the whistling sticks, I have one of them. They are used by the shepherds as they walk through the forests. They also have a rainmaker. Do you have one of those? The room looks so inviting.
@Radha:Thank you.
I didn't know about the shepherds!
I don't have a rainmaker :(
Lovely lovely lovely rug! :) Colours are so vibrant on it...
Your home looks so warm.. and the rug is absolutely beautiful!
Now, I'm off to check the other posts you linked up :)

@Usha: Awwww, thank you.
@Anjali: Thanks. It is a large flat and most of the furniture is not too large either. But you never know what size of flat we will eventually retire to.
Hope all our stuff fits when we do!
@Mandira: Thanks. I don't quite think it was the Home Science, though!
Lovely rug - we have a somewhat similar one from turkey and believe me it was tough to buy just one! And your home is lovely, just like you
