Good news: After looking through literally hundreds of rugs online, plus visiting some in person at places like HomeGoods (one just opened nearby, eep!), Target, and Ikea... We've found one!!! Who knew it was so hard to find an interesting-but-not-crazy, colorful-but-not-floral, sedate-but-not-grandma rug... for under $200.
Okay, well, seeing that list of criteria listed does make it look a bit more like the challenge it's been.
But without further adieu:
Thank you Overstock.com! Quite the thorough selection they have (uh, 131 web pages of 5'x8' rugs alone), and even though their shipping on everything is only $2.95 every day, this purchase qualified for free shipping to top it off. Still a pretty hefty investment in my mind, but the reviews are great and it should last pretty much forever with good care since it's hand-tufted wool.
This rug is ultimately a much more logical option as it has a non-white base color, and with it's destination being the most used room in the house plus the dog roaring around, I think we really have a winner.
Now, just keep your fingers crossed that this order comes through!
Beautiful and you can keep it forever. (Plus, it's pug hair colored!)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with LB's comment - this will stand the test of time and dogs! Beautiful rug with a nod to the colors you adore.
