Great Outdoor/Indoor Rugs for Your Porch

 I apologize for the fuzziness of these photos, but I simply had to share these fun rugs from Trans-Ocean Group designed by artist Liore Manne.  We have a black lab in our family named Levi so these first few rugs struck a chord with me.  I may have to order one for my beach house!

 I would love to see what Levi would do on a surfboard.   He can open a door with his paws, so I'm sure he could ride a surfboard!

Do you love the "vacationing" black labs as much as I do?

If you aren't into black labs, I do have something else you might like...

  I have been working on a porch project with a client, so naturally my focus has been on outdoor products.  I found these Trans-Ocean Import Company Rugs and fell in love!  Check out some of my favorites from their "everywear" collection!  These rugs are called "every wear" because they can be attractive enough to be used indoors but durable enough to handle the exterior elements.  Pick your fav!

Trans-Ocean's "everywear" rugs are well priced and such cute patterns.  Click here to see the entire collection!

Founded in 1908,Trans-Ocean offers a complete line of hand knotted, hand hooked, hand tufted and hand woven rugs in casual, traditional and novelty motifs.  Trans-Ocean also has a group of pillows and mats for outdoor use.  The painterly designs of the pillows work well with the rugs. Liora Manne, the designer for the collection is a graduate of Georgia State University and her masters in textile design and textile engineering from NC State University.
