Remember when I posted about "what was wrong with our living room"? Well, I finally completed, so far, our living room by finding the right carpet for the space! I mean, I literally looked at thousands of carpet, no exaggeration there.
The problem is committing to a large 8 x 10 rug is difficult since changing it often would entail a lot of work and money. And with my flip-flopping and tweaking our home every now and then, finding the right rug on a budget was very challenging.
Finally, with the help of Charmaine of over at My Best friend Craig blog (thank you, thank you so much for your help), I decided to take the plunge and ordered this rug online, and I couldn't be happier, Take a look...

| I just love this rug! |
I got the rug from Overstock.com - it's a natural weave sisal rug made of 100% jute. It is comfortable on the feet despite its bumpy feel. It does not shed, unlike my previous wool rug which was still shedding after a year of use. I love the fact that I can just put a smaller 5 x 8 rug on top whenever I get tired of this rug or I just want to change the color scheme.
Here is the living room again, at night this time...

We all love this living room space. Even my hubby loves it so much that he gave me the best compliment yet! I hope you somehow got inspired with this decor of ours.
Have a great day!

DeleteI love your color choice. Grey and yellow is such a happy combination. Grey is the new black. Goes well with everything. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks mommy G! i agree, it grey is becoming the new neutral nowadays. In fact, Kevin Sharkey from Martha Stewart recently featured this color combo on his blog! :-)
DeleteI thought I left a comment yesterday, now it's gone. Anyway, love the rug! Great choice. I also love the rope floor lamp. Where us it from?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out!
You did dear!! My fault, accidentally deleted the original post! would you believe?! Engot ko! LOL!
DeleteI got the lamp from Joss and Main - it was half the price of the one Pottery barn used to have, and the big plus to it? IT'S MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!!! I love it! thank you again!!! :-)
Love the rug. I feel like the placement of the chairs is much better as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristen! you have a very beautiful and inspiring blog! :-)
DeleteYep, still love it (and was looking for a similar rug to anchor a table in our basement, so yay!). I still vote for the parson's table... much needed light and bright, and just the right angles.
ReplyDeletethank you and yes I agree, I'm just waiting for my budget to recover before I get a new side. the lack table looks ok for now. :-)
DeleteI love this room! So warm and inviting! Where did you get the chairs? They are exactly what I've been looking for! So glad to have found your blog!
