Let's go shopping- need rugs
I posted on the other side too, comment in either place.
We have selected fabric for a sofa and chairs for the living space of our new home. Need to find an inexpensive rug(pets preclude expensive rugs) to go with the fabric and a mate to use in the dining area.
Ignore the light green rug in this mockup that shows the fabrics
And here is the space

Let's do some FUN shopping
Comments (7)Since I was also looking for watches online... Dad (ME!) DOES need a new Omega watch...?! I REALLY like this style! Any one of you Gals out there wanna "spring some bling" on a good-lookin' Guy from ND?!?! Please-pleeeezzee! It's "on sale" for only a little over $8.....

Comments (46)When I was "oldifying" my previous house, a 1994 Cape, I shopped at Bradbury & Bradbury (bradbury.com) for wallpaper, Rejuvenation for lighting, vintagetub.com (FANTASTIC customer service) for plumbing fixtures, ebay for accessories, Horton Brasses for door pulls. Now we've bought an old house (1900 Eastlake Victorian, albeit stripped naked and modest to begin with) I'll be back to all those companies, and soon I'll be headed down to Architectural Salvage in Exeter NH for parts for our broken mortise locks (I may have to buy the whole lock and scavenge the parts we need; it would probably make more sense to replace the whole thing but I'm sentimental about the parts that have been there for 107 years). He's a little expensive though. In a few months I'll go up to Old House Parts in Kennebunk ME, and check out the rumors of a Habitat ReStore in Portland (Maine, that is). jfpegan.com (who also sells on eBay as jfpegan) sells restored antique and handmade repro lighting at good prices. I picked up two slightly battered pan chandeliers at a yard sale this last week (15 bucks for both!) and when I'm a little more flush I'll send them off there for repair and restoration, which they also do. I'm not sure if I've seen anyone mention Bathroom Machineries (deabath.com). Sort of a mediocre website but they have things no one else does. Sadly, where I live (SE NH) the Arts-and-Crafts-that's-not-Mission ;-) furniture I love most is a rare critter, at least on the lower budget end. I've heard the Skinner "Discovery" auctions in Bolton MA have cheaper, less-fancy things; it's about an hour and a half drive but I'd rather bring something wonderful home from that than something from Ikea, which is the same distance in a slightly different direction....See MoreLet me show you my rug, need paint color advice
Comments (3)Hi Mollie, You may want to consider a camel or wheat tone to go well with what you have described in your room. That would compliment the red brick and the cherry tones you would see in the kitchen AND the medium oak table (you mention it is large) so make sure the paint tone blends nicely with the wood color of the table and chairs). This color will go well with the pine floors you have now but should also be very nice if you opt for a richer tone in the future. This range of wall color should be very nice with all the various colors in your carpet and the blue will just become a small accent. Have fun!...See MoreLet the Past Go or Simply Go
Comments (52)"After my last parent died, by biggest regret was not having walking away from both of them completely at 18 years of age. All those additional years of trying, and caregiving, only resulted in more heartache and damage. Nothing good came of it." My father is still alive but I have a similar regret. Both of my parents were completely dysfunctional, abusive, and if I had a do-over knowing what I know now, I would walk away in my late teens before they did even more damage to me.Some of the worst decisions I ever made was from fear of my parents, parents who did nothing but instill a sense of fear and neglect in me. Catherine, I could be wrong but I suspect because of her age, you are worried she will pass away without you resolving the relationship. I felt the same way with my mother, I jumped through hoops to make things right and she still died without ever giving me what I needed from her, to basically feel loved and accepted on some level. Losing the opportunity to "fix things" was one of the hardest things about her death. But eventually I realized that she was never going to give me what I needed, she just wanted to keep manipulating me and abusing me because that was her thing, that was her power over me and she wasn't going to give that up. If you haven't got from her what you've always wanted and needed by now, it isn't coming....See More

4 years agoSorry, I have limited time and my first two posts failed to upload. This one will be abbreviated (maybe not a bad thing).
Love how your space is evolving! You must love waking up to it each morning!
I picture something tonal and textured to go with the organic, natural vibe you have going-- but when I think of the fun you've had with color and design elsewhere, I was reminded of a Loloi wool rug I have saved:
I am not sure it will work nicely with your chosen fabrics-- but we all know that is very hard to tell from a photo!

4 years agoFunky - That's a pretty rug, but I dont think it will work with the fabrics
April - Love the colors in that jute rug, I think cats destroy jute rugs.
3Katz- I will take a look at Home Depot online. Easy returning is definitely a plus with rugs.
Mtn- my style is definitely an eclectic mix. Rooms I love....
I could be happy in this room if I got rid of the texture on the wall and all the little shelves and just hung two paintings

4 years agoI also like the idea of a solid rug - not sure what color will work with your fabrics but something that has a little texture would be nice. This one is from PB and is some sort of jute/chenille:

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoMy post wasn't about rules; it's just my two cents about how to get a vibe similar to the room you posted, if you like that vibe. So, since you are wedded to the fabric, I think the rug should be solid-ish or else veer modern to echo the feel of the room in the photo (but your windows, ceilings and beams really carry the day IMHO).
These are D&A, some of which are on sale. They may still not be want you want for pets, but I think most of them would have close duplicates out there.

I have used this fabric for a client and I now planning on using it in my daughters room. This is the rug I used and it looked beautiful!
