a secret confession...I really love rugs. But I can't afford to buy them. I have even started to fully appreciate the wool, oriental, thousands of dollar rugs that I used to despise.
I LOVE love LOVE Costco's bathmats. They are the only ones that have washed up well for me. They don't "mat" or loose all their fibers and strings in my washer. They {air} dry all nice and fluffy. They totally hold up for YEARS. I'm not talking months, or one year, I'm talking YEARS. I've had a deep purple mat (ok, it has faded some, but I wash with a little big of bleach since....oh ...4 years? and you would never know. its luxuriously soft and plush and feels REALLY good on my toes when I'm stepping out of the shower.
They are reasonably priced too. like $13 for a large mat. (that hold up remember)
Never buy Walmart mats, I've learned.
Targets are hit and miss.
Ross/TJMaxx you really need to know your fibers and construction to tell if they will hold up or wash out on you.
JcPenny's color washed out and corners turned up. trip on the dang thing every time I walk by it.
And Bed Bath and Beyond are too much {$$} for me to justify. so no, I haven't really tried them.
So- for bathmats, Costco's won my heart. I can't remember the brand name- think it starts with a D? Ill look later. We finally live by one...
oh I ALSO love their big kitchen rugs...beautiful. Hold up AWESOME.
Which is why I'm going to Costco today....to price out a large rugs.
We moved to a city. (goodbye my lovely small town life)
A new house with lots a new floors for new rugs.
ok not really. Sadly the doors are too close to the floors so I can't have my rugs by them.
BUT our new house has nice clean ivory colored carpet! I'm glad it's clean, plush and soft...but NOT that its nearly white. No speckles or anything. Everything will show.
Our kids hate the new rule of no food or drinks...not even the no-spill sipee cups allowed. because, they still spill. and then after a week you can see the drips and drops where dirt has stuck to the sticky juice.
Ive been eyeing {large area} rugs, for a very low price lately. {haha I know how it sounds, impossible right?}
I have no doubt that Pottery Barn and all those wonderful store have gorgeous rugs, but I'm on a beggars budget. So I'm not even going to look.
$100 the max, hopefully WAY less than that.
Where do you get your rugs? do you have a place you love, or brand?
I was at Target yesterday and they had some beautiful ones...Syd and I were loving looking at the wesbite today...thought I'd show you some of our loves.
my NUMBER #1 choice for my living room...
I LOVE it because it is colorful but not tooooo crazy. I can choose to decorate in any color, and change it up and the drop of a hat- without having to go out and buy another rug.
I can get sick of floral, but I like this flower, it kind of has an arts and craft feel. lovely huh.
I don't love the price.
so unless you want to make a charitable donation to my living room
....I'll just gawk at it
.
Syd's favorite: totally looks likes like her, match her room too.
Other ones I love...
I didn't write this one down?
Stick Leaf Carolina...love it's simplicity. It kind of reminds me of Katy's Master bedroom...wonder what color her carpet is..if it would really go?
Typography wouldn't this be cool in boys room...or office.
Flower Check rug...thought it was interesting.
Poppy (love poppy's) and in lots of colors
