and my persistence pays off.

i finally got a rug!!

only 4 months after putting our new floors down.

i've searched & searched for a living room rug.

i looked on overstock, ebay, craig's list, the company store, west elm, lowes, t.j. maxx, home depot, target etc., etc.

i found one i liked on overstock and it sat in my cart forever because i just couldn't pull the trigger. it was knowing that even though they tempt you with that cheapo shipping, if i didn't like it, i'd have to sell my right leg to ship it back.

i even bought a couple, tried them out and returned them.

finally on one golden day last week, i quickly perused the rugs walmart.com.

 by the way, my price goal was around $200.
which is no easy task for an 8X10 rug.

if i'd had a limitless budget i could have found countless rugs i love.  highever i am cheap and would rather wait to find what i want on sale than to throw down a bunch of money on something i will probably be tired of in a year.  and, that money could be much better spent on ...oh say, orphans or missionaries.  i just have trouble spending a grand on a rug when their are starving babies.  but i digress. . .

back to the rug!
it was on roll back for $100.  that is just crazy talk.
for an 8X10.
that ships for FREE.
yep, that's right.  the idea of not having to haul my 3 kids into a store and drag out an 8X10 rug that probably weighs as much as i do was music to my ears.
plus if i didn't like it i could return it to the walmart store for free. 

and yesterday (less than a week after i ordered it), it was on my doorstep.

hip hip hooray.

it's even better in person.
i think it looks clean, modern & cozy. and it helps off set those dark floors.

do you notice my new coffee table?

scored that at our community group's yard sale last weekend.

i moved the trunk that was acting as our coffee table to our entry way.

right under all of our jackets. (?????)

i guess my next project should be, put away our winter stuff. Pin It
