Have you been to Home Goods? They seem to have a great selection of rugs. Also the Great indoors has a great selection as well. Do you have those stores close?

We got all of our rugs at Stark. We're on the East Coast, but they have locations in California. At least in the Connecticut store where we have shopped, part of their store is to the trade only, and the rest is open to the public and sells really nice rugs at fair prices- we got great deals on some discontinued styles that had moved over from the to-the-trade section. Much nicer than Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, etc. Prices ranged from moderate to high, but there was an excellent selection at the moderate end.

Well Holly-Kay, I know it's frustrating, but you know what, those rugs weren't meant to be in your home. You'll find the perfect rug in due time, and then you'll be glad the others fell through. Chin up, I believe it's Karma and you'll end up really happy with what you end up with. Look at the changes to plan you've already experienced and how it's all coming together so nicely.
