When you can't put colorful art on your walls to brighten up your home, colorful carpets can do the trick. We picked up the first one at Camden Market, second one in Little Arabia, and the third at Fair Share in Soho (made by Asha Handicrafts). They aren't the most amazing quality but when you're only going to use them for two years, they do the trick. Besides, we're saving up for when we go to Turkey - their carpets make my heart sing.
