After Lori and I decided to add more white to our room we started discussing the rug. In our rendering we had gone darker with browns and some beige. Our first stop was West Elm. It was getting down to the wire for selecting something so we decided on their Souk rug. We called...they had one so off we went.
Then....we started thinking maybe we needed something a little better....you know step up your game and all that :)
That was when we went to Sullivan Fine Rugs and they pulled out this little beauty.
It is a 6 x 10 vintage from the 1940's and comes in at 6900.00. But it is gorgeous. Seriously.
Done....West Elm rug goes back.
Then I started thinking about "cheap and chic" versions and did a little research.
Here is what I came up with if you don't have almost 7,000.00 laying around :)
World Market 5x8 299.00 I saw this one and liked that the nap wasn't so long....so things would not get lost in there [small children and pets]
Rugs USA 5x7 429.00
West Elm 5x8 499.00 This is the one we purchased...and it's a "shedder" for real. Wool rugs just do this for a while.
West Elm 5x8 499.00 This is a new style that West Elm just came out with.
Pottery Barn 5x8 529.00
Target 5x7 129.00 Not wool of course.
I am sure there are other ones out there. Is it trendy...yeah probably but I like it so that is all that is important. I personally don't have one but I can feel a little part of my brain wanting to acquire it....hate when that happens.
TGIF right????Here in the south we are experiencing a little bit of winter....brrrrrr.
Stay warm friends.
