In an effort to dress up the yard, we’re covering the black tarp (the tarp used to combat the bamboo) with an outdoor rug. Not just any outdoor rug…this fancy blue rug…
Love it!
I first saw the Koko rug on Apartment Therapy. I was pretty excited that the area rugs are from a fun design studio in our own hood o’ Queens. CSN sells the rugs online. I really wanted the hot pink/red one, but it truly won’t match the fancy-schmancy new patio umbrella.
So blue it is. Still, super fun!
The folks at CSN have offered me an EXTRA Koko rug (2×3) to give away on the blog. They’ll ship it right to your door (within the US!). Drop a comment below and make sure to include your email address on the form. Will pick one super lucky duck at random on July 1st at 12PM EST.
**psst, the Koko rugs also make awesome beach mats!**
Just wanted to clarify, the 2×3 being offered isn’t the red/pink rug. It’s a darkish blue rug that compliments the version I’m getting way up top. Here’s a picture:
Sorry for any confusion, it’s been a rough week!

Super cute rug!

Ooh! Ooh! That is a very nice rug. And if it ever stops raining, it would be a great beach mat, too.

I love these rugs – we use them under the exercise pens at dog shows so the clean critters aren’t on dirt or grass. Easy to clean up and easy to pack. The blue and white will be cool and crisp looking on your patio.
And if you need any more reason to pick me as your winner, my birthday is on Thursday (June 25th) which is also the anniversary of Custer’s Last Stand. Poor Custer.

Oh yeah, I need that rug. Please and thank you.

Puppy loves to nap on rugs. He always thinks they are placed there just for him.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:03 pm
oooh that would look so wonderful on the deck and definitely be used and appreciated. The pots on the deck are in blue and basil colors and would complement the rug.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:26 pm
This would be sweet for hanging out on while we are at our girls swim meets! Hope I get picked!
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Ooh, I could put this on my front porch! That would give me an excuse to rip out the insane brick-patterned carpet on the front step! Wait, I didn’t need an excuse, I should have done that the day I moved in? Oops.
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:10 pm
Love the rug! It is almost too pretty to put outside!
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Wow! Hadn’t see these before, but went to the website and I’m in love! Definitely need at least one for the front porch, a couple for the back deck, and one for the car…a girl can dream, right?

June 23rd, 2009 at 4:58 am
Oh, now that you’ve teased with them, I GOTTA GET ONE!!!!!!!
June 23rd, 2009 at 5:32 am
I would love a new rug…
my deck is a little worse for
wear and covering it would save
me from having to stain it this
summer….

June 23rd, 2009 at 7:11 am
Those rugs are great! I would actually use it in my kitchen. Those CSN folks are nice!
June 23rd, 2009 at 7:17 am
Those rugs are adorable! I can think of several places for them.

My daughte and family just bought a house, (we won’t be around your neighborhood anymore). This would help with furnishing all the new space.
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:23 am
Love it! I just bought a house, I stripped the floors and made them beautiful again, and I’m looking for nice rugs!
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:46 am
I would absolutely LOVE one of those rugs, they are fabulous! The bright colors would go perfectly on my porch!
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:31 pm
I could use this rug to cover up my boring concrete patio. I hate concrete even more after jackhammering it out of my flower beds so I can plant them.

I think that might match the 4×6 rug I have on my porch, and I need another rug! It’s a big porch

Listen do you hear that ” Dee” the rug is actually calling out my name ?
June 24th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
At 2X3 this is more of a doormat than a rug BUT it is much prettier than any doormat I have so please do enter me!
June 25th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
I want a super cute blue rug to use in my backyard! It would make sitting out with my kids so much more comfy!
June 28th, 2009 at 5:23 am
I could see improving my deck with a beautiful rug!!!
June 29th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Hey Jean! I’m from Brooklyn, NY. We are in contract for a house in Bay Ridge and I’d love to win the blue run for our desk (off of the dining room).
June 30th, 2009 at 6:41 am
Rug? Me please? It would look really nice in front of the couch. Or even better, on my side of the bed!
July 1st, 2009 at 6:51 am
ooh la la! I just spilled some cleaning product on my bath mat, and since I completely lack an outside this baby would fit in perfectly.
