Okay so I bought a rug. At 1am last night.
Comments (62)Sorry to say I am not at all surprised by RH's duplicity in pretending they are selling one of a kind rugs (or one of a kind anything, for that matter), or their incompetence in tracking their stock, their fake shipping dates and timely charging of your credit card. The company is a complete fraud, from the ground up, IMO. Honest catalog retailers state their wares are "unique" because the item being described is hand made and therefore the one that arrives may not look like the picture. RH seems to play fast and loose with that concept as their ad copy makes you believe that a featured item is truly the ONLY one like it. I always wondered how they could spend so much money showcasing single run new items or one of a kind vintage or antique things. Now it appears they have revealed their true business model to you. I always thought their brand appealed to the yuppie worst in us all. I include myself in that, I'm sorry to say. I have purchased a curtain rod from RH about seven years ago and probably would have bought other things as well, but after receiving their massive catalog missives decided not to do business with them any more....See Moresitting space, rug okay, but now a chair question
Comments (54)val - thanks for more ideas. Hopefully I can bribe my brother-in-law to give us a hand moving things on Friday night. One of the problems moving these chairs is that they can't be tugged on the rug at all because of the texture of the rug. I'm afraid it would damage the rug. They do have felt pads on them in case they end up partway on the floor. franksmom - I LOVE that story. Hubby giggled too. I have a little 2 door Honda but I've been amazed at what I can get into it. loribee - thank you! I am starting to love it too, even with the moving around hassles. I think I want to see more rug and slightly angled. I went looking for pillows today and couldn't find any that I liked. I wanted small solid brown ones. I'll look around on Ebay and Etsy. (Please, no one tell me to make them because I just don't do that sort of thing.) I did pick up a brown throw though because we always another one of those downstairs. I also picked up a couple of lamps but think I might have messed up on the shade. I was tired of shopping and I was all the way home again when I realized the shades were those leather ones that I don't think will give off much light. We'll see. I'll get things put together and take some more pictures. And loribee, I don't NOT love the Cloes. I did go back in an sat in one with my feet tucked under me and that works. I don't think it's the leather. I think I'm just old and broken and don't fit many chairs. Since these will not get a ton of use, I don't think it matters. I do love to look at them, though. :) That counts for something....See MoreAnother rug...okay, let me have it.
Comments (30)The cowhide looks odd in the context of the room, it just doesn't look right. I agree you need a rug that will ground the furniture and to tie all the colors together. You did not ask, but the placement of the furniture does not take advantage of the shape of the room (Beverly in Fl, might help you out with that) and the wall color is very, very close to the sofa color....See MoreIs this new tile flooring okay for toilet placement?
Comments (1)As long as toilet cover's it,there's no problem. Next time,put a masonary blade in power saw,cut edges of tile then break them off with pliers to get a closer fit....See MoreMontdor Interiors - Shaila Gottlieb
