The Los Angeles Times Ought To Have Called Me.

After reading the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/home/la-hm-rugs7feb07,1,1617759.story">Los Angeles Times article "Rug art turns floor into canvas"; in the home section on feb. 7th by Janet Eastman</a>, I simply had to show but a few of the truly amazing carpets and rugs that really are 'art for your floor'.<br /><br />While the article was correct in calling this a 'trend', they certainly did not do it justice. Although Janet Eastman pointed out the fabulous <a href="http://www.sayinli.ekvoll.com/html/rugs/sdandrnr/sex_2.html">Ekvoll rug</a>s and singled out one of my favorites, <a href="http://www.dangolden.com/">Dan Golden</a>, as well as a few fabulous others...the article left out so very many worth mentioning.<br /><br />The amount of artful designer hand-tufted, carved, shaped, signed and pricey wool rugs out there have been growing exponentially over the past few years. <div><br /></div><div>Below are only 18 of the <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog">over 80 rugs I have pointed out on thisnext.com</a>. They include fabulous carpets by the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Ronen and Erwan Bouroullec, Karim Rashid, Kiki Smith, Adrien Rovero, Kyle Hunting, Reuber Henning, nani marquina, Artware Editions, Amazed carpets, J. Milo and more.</div><div><div><div class="tn_post"><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><map id="ThisNext_map_BAAF2D3C" name="ThisNext_map_BAAF2D3C"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/0303CC17/DE8B2AF7/Ekvoll-Silk-Rugs-Sex-Drugs-War?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Ekvoll Silk Rugs – Sex, Drugs, War & Rock n' Roll" shape="rect" coords="11,11,203,203"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/91AAD71F/61D6A0BD/Kr1-Rug-Signed-karim-Rashid?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Kr1 Rug Signed (karim Rashid)" shape="rect" coords="205,11,397,203"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/9D277045/B868C034/Woody-Wood-Rug?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Woody Wood Rug" shape="rect" coords="11,205,203,397"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/CB035463/A01293F0/Kiki-Smiths-Carpet-for-Artware?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Kiki Smith's Carpet for Artware Editions" shape="rect" coords="205,205,397,397"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/0D96D8AC/95CEC825/BIG-GAMEs-Miles-Rug-with?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="BIG-GAME's Miles Rug with wooden cars!" shape="rect" coords="11,399,203,591"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/0762AFAF/816F5EC9/Ronan-Erwan-Bouroullec-Zip-Rug?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec: Zip Rug" shape="rect" coords="205,399,397,591"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/ABF90187/35AF8375/SCREAM-rug-by-Henzel?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="SCREAM rug by Henzel" shape="rect" coords="11,593,203,785"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/00ECB239/89355FD7/Dan-Goldens-Cartoon-Hand?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Dan Golden's Cartoon Hand-tufted Wool Rugs" shape="rect" coords="205,593,397,785"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/3B4AD515/2E81CDA2/Adrien-Roveros-Dis-Order-Rug?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Adrien Rovero's Dis-Order Rug" shape="rect" coords="11,787,203,979"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/D231E29F/29A2C3BC/Nanimarquina-Rugs?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Nanimarquina Rugs" shape="rect" coords="205,787,397,979"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/DA9E253C/4DFDE799/Kyle-Buntings-Exotic-Modern?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Kyle Bunting's Exotic & Modern Cowhide rugs" shape="rect" coords="11,981,203,1173"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/8858760F/E99CACC1/j-milo-phenomenal-rugs?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="j.milo - phenomenal rugs!" shape="rect" coords="205,981,397,1173"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/E63361AB/71E45232/Roy-Lichtenstein-Carpet-from?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Roy Lichtenstein Carpet from Artware Editions" shape="rect" coords="11,1175,203,1367"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/0BD6E76A/FF388087/Rose-lace-Hexagon-lace-Kiki?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Rose lace, Hexagon lace & Kiki carpets by Kiki van Eijk" shape="rect" coords="205,1175,397,1367"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/D0FE91FD/BAE02D9C/Labyrinth-maze-rug?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Labyrinth maze rug" shape="rect" coords="11,1369,203,1561"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/0C121F5C/0EFF93F7/Unhappy-Friend-Felt-Carpet?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Unhappy Friend Felt Carpet" shape="rect" coords="205,1369,397,1561"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/1FDE4DBA/C9072C70/Reuber-Henning-Carpets?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Reuber-Henning Carpets" shape="rect" coords="11,1563,203,1755"><area href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/E7125EF3/985E913D/AMAZED-RUGS-snowdrift?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="AMAZED RUGS (snowdrift)" shape="rect" coords="205,1563,397,1755"></map><a href="http://www.thisnext.com/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical?u=laurasweet&p=/list/6B8C9DC6/Fancy-Friggen-Flooring-Radical&t=blog" title="Fancy Friggen Flooring & Radical Rugs"><img alt="Fancy Friggen Flooring & Radical Rugs" src="http://www.thisnext.com/media/blogit/BAAF2D3C.jpg" style="margin: 0pt;
