I found it on eBay. The funny thing is how my tastes have changed. I have never liked arts and crafts design but suddenly it appeals because it really seems to suit cabin design. I won't go all out William Morris but bits here and there seem to be a good plan.

Did you just change your rug? I saw another when I first opened your thread. Now I am seeing a different one. Weird.

I did change it, I tried to put both but it kept locking up so I gave up lol.

Here is the other I'm debating.

I'm also trying to complement whatever stone I use on the bar. Something like this quartzite

I prefer two different rugs versus 2 of the same. It makes each look more original. I think, as long as you stay with the arts and craft style, another rug with similar colors will look great. We used to own a weekend log home with an open living-dining, and used only one rug in the living. We now have a weekend lake home, and also do not use a rug under the dining table. But, part of that is to minimize cleaning. If you have enough going on in the dining, you may not need a second rug. You could do a larger size in the living.

I would definitely do two different rugs, similar in color and style. Getting two the same rugs to me feels like a 2 for the price of 1 sale.

Annette, this rug looks prettier to me than the previous one. The colors seem to go with the quartz, but the quartz has a very swirled, open pattern whereas the rug is very structured. I don't know whether this really makes a difference; someone may have a more informed opinion about that. Having another rug in the dining area makes for a warmer and more interesting look, but it's something you have to decide about in terms of upkeep, etc. I like the last room plan you've come up with.

I was thinking the bold pattern in living and then maybe a Seagrass or sisal with a border in a color taken from the pattern would work.

Like this(not this type of pattern necessarily, my iPad app only has a few options for textile patterns so I chose the boldest for example).

Sisal or Seagrass seem like inappropriate choices for either a coordinating rug to a rug with an arts and craft motif, or for a log home, at least IMHO.

Thanks for the help, I like it now, too. I may add a couple of small ottomans under the window for extra seating for the rare times we will have a crowd, but I like it with a bit less. I have a thing about being able to come in and maneuver without winding around furniture. Hubbys oldest friend has MS and I think I subconsciously think of him coming in and wheeling his luggage through to the guest room with as few obstacles as possible.

I guess I've always thought of Seagrass as a neutral. I've used it in my last 2 homes. I had the family room of my last house in wall to wall Seagrass in 1990.

This house won't be a true log cabin, more like a rustic redo. It is currently drywall and honey oak floors. We are going to change floors and the rest will get cosmetic changes to give a cabin feel. Rustic wood trim, woodsy paint colors, etc.

kind of like these,

I thought you were looking for feedback. Sounds like you've already decided. Just ignore my comment.

Seagrass can be used in ANY style home with great success! It is inexpensive and durable.

Two identical rugs work very well in a huge living room that is divided into two separate seating areas. You could do it in your room, but you might prefer to do two different rugs - it's really about your taste and how they look with your furniture, house,lighting. I love the look of "patchwork orientals" where all sizes and shapes are used together. But that look either needs a VERY contemporary decor or a very traditional one with lots of antiques - no middle ground there!

No, I'm looking for feedback, but mostly on whether it should be 2 of the same. I do appreciate your input for sure.

I guess I also like Seagrass for it's sturdiness. My first experience with it was a good one so I go back to it as a fallback. Way back when one of my ancient Rottweilers had cancer, she had a huge horrible accident on the Seagrass. I figured I was going to have to pull it all up but much to my surprise it cleaned up like new.

Anglophilia, I finally had a sec to look up the patchwork rugs. Very cool!

Annette, I love the direction you're taking with your space! There is nothing warmer than Honey Oak or Heart Pine flooring imo~my son and I were just talking about this yesterday since he's wanting to have wood installed, and doesn't want dark. There's a real coziness to it. As for rugs, why not 2 different ones? I like the idea of the sisal since it will add texture also, and think it will be wonderful with either rug you choose, but I really love the William Morris. I have a WM in my greatroom and chose it for it's beautuful pattern. They're more unusual and not something you see a lot of.

Where on eBay did you find that rug since it's exactly what I've been looking for? (Why am I not surprised since you're trying to find my quartzite? LOL)

Here ya go cp, a variety of sizes it looks like.

Rug

I'm also liking this one. Same seller.
