Handmade Clearance Area Rugs For Home
You probably noticed in the post about the fireplace built-in’s earlier this week the new rug we have in our living room. Let me back up and tell you a little about it, m’kay? For a long while now I have lusted after those Clearance style rugs that we’ve all been spotting all over design magazines, blogs, websites, etc. You know, the ones that are a bit shaggy, are creamy coloured, and have some dark diamond style pattern on them? Gorgeous, right? I nearly pulled the trigger on more than one occasion when I saw a good deal, but knew that I really needed to wait to see how our living room panned out. Maybe the size would be wrong, or the whole style wouldn’t work as I thought it would.
As our living room started to come together with the white and gray built-ins, brass accents, and our gray couch (our EQ3 Reverie), I knew that the Clearance style rug would work. I wanted something with some interest and pattern, but nothing too colorful or distracting. I didn’t really want to go with anything gray as we already have a lot of it on this main floor. And I knew that the soft shagginess underfoot would add to the cozy factor in the space. This beauty was around $65 for the 5×7 and $140 for the 8×10. Seriously low prices, hey? Made me wonder a bit about quality. We got it home and have lived with it for a few weeks now, and I’m happy to report that I have been really pleased with the quality. It took a minute to flatten out from being all rolled up, but once it did it feels plush and thick, and it doesn’t shed like some of my previous wool rugs have done. Couldn’t be more pleased, really. It has a cool mellow vibe, and actually I feel like could fit into just about any style of room. Sort of like
