First off, we are loving all of your responses on the subway tiled wall. You guys never cease to amaze me with how awesome you are about helping us out!
Knowing that we were moving soon, when Cyber Monday rolled around with its beautiful deals, we jumped on the opportunity to save some mula. Rugs USA was having a 75% rugs sale and we bought a bunch!!
You guys know me, I love rugs! Whether they’re shaggy rugs or hall runners, I think they frame a room so well. I use them in our house as well as when we the houses we renovate. And I’ve always been a fan of the way rugs tie a room together so I make sure I look after my rugs because I think they’re underrated centerpieces.
We not only bought a bunch of rugs because they were on sale, but our current ones were getting quite old so I thought it would be good to replace them. Don’t get me wrong, we rotated our rugs to ensure even wear, got an oriental rug cleaning service in quite a few times, dealt with any spillages professionally – but over time, they tend to fade so why not buy new ones while they’re on offer?
This is our family room rug. We both love the pattern, but are not in love with how its holding up. It is obviously used the most between us, Bray rolling around on it, and the dogs running all over it. We have never had a rug have pulls in the string like this, so if anyone has any recommendations as to how to help- please let us know! Other than the pulling, we love it.
This is our Dining room rug. I love this one so much! Its super thick and comfy, and the design is beautiful. The fact that its mainly dark doesn’t hurt either, especially being under the table that we eat at:)
This is the only rug we kept from the old house. Not gonna lie, its pretty beat up with stains. We will eventually replace it, but for now it is magically the perfect size for the kitchen {just like it was in the old house!}. This is the only rug we have thats not from Rugs USA, this is from West Elm.
This is Js favorite rug! It is our office rug, and it is a perfect rug for that room. It is made to look old, which I think is perfect for a study/office area. Its hard to capture the color of the rug in photos, but it is a light forrest green.
This is one of my favorites…our master bedroom rug. I love that we are able to have this light of a rug somewhere without having to worry about it getting ruined fast! The blues in the rug tie in our headboard great, and I love having the mix of teal in it.
So tell me, what is your favorite place to get rugs? It seemed silly buying so many rugs at once, and the total wasn’t too fun initially. The fact though that we got 75% off what it could’ve been, well that made me smile:):)
PS- I wrote a post about First Birthday party do’s and dont’s on Scottsdale Moms Blog. Go check it out and give some tips if you have them!

Thanks for the inspirational post. I’ve been browsing the internet for ideas of what to replace my old red rugs with. What color and style rugs would you suggest to go with beige walls?

Hi! I took advantage of that same exact sale at RugsUSA and bought one for our living room, one for our kitchen and one for the entryway. I hadn’t had much experience with rugs that were 100% wool (which most of them on there are), but so far so good. They shed a bit (the darker colors shed on to the lighter colors in the weave, which is kind of annoying), but I haven’t had the “pulling” issue that you have. I love all of the ones that you chose! I love your style 🙂

Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results.
If you know of any please share. Thank you!
