new rugs...


i have been on the hunt for an area rug for the longest time.
the hunt has taken me FOREVER and for many reasons.
1.  area rugs are expensive and i wanted to make sure i found a rug i loved
2.  i'm not a fan of pattern.  i don't know why i shy away from pattern... but in looking for an area rug i wanted something that i was going to love this year and in five years when my taste changed. 
3.  in lieu of pattern i wanted texture and something that would feel good under my feet and something i would want to lay on.

until last week i couldn't find a rug i liked that was less than a grand, and who wants to pay that for a rug.  then last week while getting my daily blog fix reading remodelista i saw a post about the sweater rug and a sale west elm was running on them.  i was sold... 15 minutes later i had ordered an 8' x 10' rug for our living area and a 2' x 7' runner for in front of the sink. 

the 8 x 10 was delivered last week and the runner got here last night... i will have pictures soon, but in the words of "the dude" the rug really pulls the room together.
