Well, I have gone to every Tuesday Morning store in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area (about 12 different stores), and I DID find the mocha/ivory rug that My3dogs has, but it was only a 3x5! It seems like every store had at least one or two of the Couristan Woven Treasures rugs in various sizes (ivory ones, green ones, pink ones, red ones). I still have the sort of golden/tan one in the 8x10 size in my living room, and I also bought a sort of crimson/fire orange colored one in a 7x10 size that is just absolutely gorgeous. It has sort of an Aztec-looking pattern with what looks like birds and vases with flowers. I almost think I like it the best of all of the ones I've seen, but I don't know if all that red works in my house. I may bring in back, but I just had to try it at home. I tried using Tuesday Morning's product locator phone number and entered the numbers that my3 was so gracious to get for me, but their system doesn't seem to work too well. I haven't been successful getting an actual person there to help me, either. It looks like this weekend I might take a trip to the couple of stores on the Mississippi Gulf Coast to see if I can find the mocha rug in the 8x10, but if I don't find it there, I may just have to settle for the tan version. If anyone happens to find this rug in a Tuesday Morning where you live, I would be happy to reimburse you for the rug, pay for the shipping and even throw in a little extra for your effort! I know that's a big favor to ask, but there seems to be so many helpful people here. Well, wish me luck! I WANT THAT RUG!!!!

I only have a few pis of that, as I took them to show the door I had stripped and stained, not the wall color. But while looking for the entry pics, here is a close-up of the rug with the wall paper. You can see the red tone of the 'accent color' in this. In this one you see the Wythe Blue chip with the blue of the wall paper. Those other chips are some of the colors in my house - the rug and wall paper brought them all together in that one room. Wythe Blue in the adjoining entry. The DR is that doorway to the right in this shot.

Thanks Olychick, Ok this is how burnt out I am from looking at fabric...I do not even know what sort of fabric this is other than one can use it for upholstery. I no longer care (how sad is this) what it is and just want to get it over with, although I do love the colors and design. I wish I were like the rest of you where I could get excited about upholstery fabric. To me it's all painful!

I have bought and sold karastan rugs on eBay with great success. They are a great value second hand as the original rugs, especially the 700 series, can last for many years. If you buy from someone with good feedback you should be fine. In the worst case, a good cleaning would take care of any odors, etc., and even with that expense, you will save a lot of money and have a high quality rug that will stand up to just about anything. Be sure to check the "sold" section to see what similar rugs have actually sold for. If you love it and the price is right, I'd go for it.
