Mother Nature isn't cooperating with sunlight so I did my best with the living room lights on.
Here is the new and final rug!
From the beginning of my search I kept gravitating toward these lattice rugs I was seeing but I kept second guessing myself and I was having trouble finding one that I liked in a color that would work for us AND a reasonable price. Of course we end up with what I really wanted from the beginning! I tend to do this so it isn't a surprise really.
The other
rug was super reasonably priced, and natural fiber and I wanted it to work but as you know it didn't...
As soon as we decided Knotty McRug wouldn't be staying with us I got right back on the computer and found our new rug. 100% wool, a soft green that goes really nicely in the room and a pretty reasonable price. Good old Overstock delivered it for their flat shipping fee which is less than $3.00, can't beat that!
I'm not going to lie to you. 100% wool means it is a bit itchy. I'm getting used to it and our little one could care less. He was playing with legos bare legged in a diaper the day we received it so it's safe to say he doesn't mind. It is a flat weave so there isn't much cushion to speak of and we're waiting for a rug pad to arrive. I bought a regular old rug pad from Home Depot and found the chemical scent so offensive I had to return it. I figured it didn't make any sense to lay our natural rug on that stinky thing! We found a company that makes natural rug pads. I'll let you know what we think when it arrives.
We are really happy with the look. It changes the room in a good way. Warms it up and adds more interest. With each day I find I'm liking it more.
So, there it is. I'll take a break from rugs for a while and get back to other obsessive, I mean passionate pursuits around the house. Have a happy weekend!
