aktillery: Your rug!
Like so many others here, I find myself besotted with your rug. I have been having a terrible time with the wool rug in our living room (see pic below), or should I say with my Molly cat who has decided that it is the ONE thing in the house that she needs to destroy. We have tried countless ways to distract her from clawing it, all to no avail. She's older now, and I think she's just too set in her ways. Every morning when I get up and pad into the living room, I see the evidence of her nocturnal activities in little wool tufts all over the floor. ::sigh:: We have not tried Soft Paws, but the rug is starting to look rather frazzled at this point so I'm leaning towards replacing it entirely. I'm thinking a polypro rug will do the trick. We've had others in our previous home and she wasn't at all interested in shredding them. I absolutely LOVE the look of your rug and although I did a cursory search, I'm not finding anything where you've mentioned how you feel about the quality and overall look of the rug, especially as compared to a wool piece. Now that you've lived with it for a little while, what are your thoughts?
Here's our current wool rug. It was purchased from a CL seller and already had a few issues when we got it. Molly has only added to its distress.
And here's the "AKTILLERY RUG" that I think I may be in love with.

aktillery! Question Please???
Comments (3)Not sure which creamy color to which you are referring. This was my old kitchen's sitting area. It was called Luminary Yellow (cannot remember if it was from Lowes or HD). it was a super pale yellow and I highly recommend getting a small tester first. It worked in that room but its not the easiest to work everywhere depending on light etc. Hope this helps!! Amy...See Moreaktillery...ready for photoshopping!
Comments (55)My daughter would hop on your wagon with lilac. Looking at lilac shades, this is a perfect time to peek at the lilacs blooming. In their natural state you could confer with their colors and paint chips. Perhaps even find a bunch and sit them on your porch to gather inspiration on shades. I like shutters if done correctly, an upgrade to the era of your home may make a difference in what you see overall. Many forget what shutters are for, ending up with decorative accents. I have two on a window the PO put on and they would be useless in reality. It is a huge window with these slim add on shutters. Would need six more on each side for any value. My suggestion is do do away with your shutters. The porch windows look really nice to me without them. Although it would be difficult to put any within the space as it is. Perhaps add a trim to the upper windows to come closer to the middle one seen. Love your home. And, MaryLu...I'm in an area that has many homes painted as yours. Love what you have done. Driving by them I am always intrigued by how they came up with colors that "work". I've thought many times to photograph these houses and put them into holiday groups...so many wonderful colors. Christmas, Easter, July 4th, Valentines, Thanksgiving. Always a fun drive around here seeing them....See MoreAktillery9...please help!
Comments (44)I am also liking #6 with all your other elements. It would be too bold for me, but your choices seem to mainly lean toward bold, so they must attract you. My choice for myself would be #3, but that is definitely a safe choice. Do try out the one from the local dealer you think is so beautiful....See MoreAktillery9
