Need a functional hearth rug to go with my fireplace and decor. My husband likes to do fires in our wood burning insert in the WestcHester New York winters. I got this gray one from LL Bean but now thinking it doesn’t work. Help please!

Help selecting raised hearth stone materials
Comments (4)Sorry I just reread your post and saw that you don't want tiles. I do remember seeing some honed stones, including limestone, that might interest you. Again, a stone yard or design center is a great place to get info. Don't know if one is available around you, sometimes a contractor can refer you if you are using one, but if you can get in contact directly with a local stone fabricator, you can usually pick from remnants they have in small pieces left over from larger jobs that did not use an entire slab of stone, at a greatly reduced price. The trick is finding and getting to talk to the fabricator directly. I was able to do that when I was ordering my kitchen counter....See MoreRug selection help needed
Comments (12)Okay, you all have given me something to think about! I am leaning toward ditching both rugs and moving toward something without any pattern. Janice- I like your idea about a frieze or shag but I am afraid ivory will be too light as we have 2 black dogs and 2 kids. Need I say more? :) abundant blessings- You are right, the chairs are a bit squished. It is a pretty small room and also pretty dark so I am trying to position the chairs to allow one of the blinds to be opened behind each chair. I was able to pull the chairs apart a little bit, and it does look better! I see your and yaya's point about the art. I am trying to pull in some of the color of the piano (thorn in my side!) with the rest of the room and I thought the picture helped w/ that. I wasn't really thinking of orange and reds, as I was leaning more toward browns, blue, and green. I will have to see how the throw pillows look on the long brown couch, but I have a feeling you are right and there is just going to be too much pattern going on in there! Thanks so much for your input! This post was edited by snowballeffect on Thu, Feb 7, 13 at 14:35...See MoreNeed help selecting coffee table and rug
Comments (2)Love the silver coffee table! The rug is too similar in texture to the sofa and won’t look as cohesive. I love the pop of color. Something like this would look great! https://www.westelm.com/m/products/verve-rug-t3653/?sku=1289326&pkey=crugs-flooring&isx=0.0...See Moreneed help with rug and lamp selections

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoOh MY word........ Please ditch that rug thing? Get him a pair of garden knee pads, and put them out there where you store the wood! Those things are sooooo old lady: ( That's why you only find them in fireplace stores and LL Bean. Nobody wants them. You're not old enough either. You can hide these right in that little log carrier. You can hide a simple kneeling pad in it too!! Either!
