While in this crazy, paranoid state of mind, I stuck the rug in my cart and rushed to submit the order and seal my big retail win. The afterglow faded pretty quickly when I realized that I actually paid MORE for the OKL rug than the identical one I linked to in my post! Incredibly stupid oversight on my part. Luckily, the difference was only about $30...but as a die-hard online bargain shopper, I'm super annoyed with myself. The lesson learned is that buying in a hurried frenzy hardly ever pays off...no matter how good the deal seems.
The bright side of the story is that the rug works well in the room. I still want to tweak the furniture, but for now, the color/pattern of the rug improves the look of what's already there. What do you think?
I love it & the room!! That black/white bench is adorable too. Karen
ReplyDeletei have the same rug! i have 2 in my kitchen!!! i love it!

It looks great....I want that rug in yellow/light gold! Wonder if they have it.....I found a very similar Jill Rosenwald one I want to buy, just need to get up the courage to spend the money!
ReplyDeleteYour pics are gorgeous. I have had my eye on a very similar rug in aqua/ivory...on numerous occasions I have placed it in my online shopping cart and x'd out at the last minute. Probably won't be able to fight it much longer;) OKL had some fab shower curtains today~Of course the one I wanted sold out within about 30 minutes! Gotta be a sign I'll come across something better though~Have a fab day~

The rug looks great! The whole room is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the rug, just think it's a little too small. Never a good sign when the legs of your furniture look like they're hanging on for dear life. It looks amazing otherwise as does the rest of your house. My eye is just very critical when looking at styled pics online.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful room! And I've been scouring Home Goods and TJM since you posted your mirror score! You found two of them?!? lucky girl
ReplyDeletei don't think the rug is too small... it is just a different look. you can use a rug any way you like. everyone has different opinions! i like it!
ReplyDeleteLove the rug...and the vase on the table with the palms!

Love it! What a gorgeous space!!! Ballards has a similar indoor/outdoor rug that I was trying to convince my mom to buy!!
ReplyDeleteI love your living room and your whole house for that matter. Seriously IN LOVE with your DECORATING skills. SO CUTE! Thanks for posting your paint colors a while back, it's so hard finding good paint colors especially grays.
ReplyDeleteYour house is gorgeous and love your style. I have been eyeing this same rug in a rust color for my family room. But my only concern is how soft and plush it is. It's a place where my kids and I are going to be on the floor playing and hanging out so I want it to be soft and thick. So can you tell if this rug is indeed soft and thick and whether it would be comfortable to lay on like my kids and I will be doing when playing puzzles or coloring. Your feedback will be GREATLY appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSmitha, Thanks for the house compliments :) As far as the rug goes, it is definitely not soft and plush. It feels a little less rough than sisal or jute so it's probably not what you're looking for. My Jonathan Adler rug is super soft (kind of like a thick sweater) so you might want to check those out.
