Can this rug work here?
Comments (23)bungalow and squirrel, thank you for the kind words. I mentioned in another post that we spent a fortune getting the front window made to match a picture of the original the PO's had left us (a large picture window had been installed in the 60's). I stained it myself to match the rest of the woodwork. And yes, the walls were really dark. I just painted them (Lancaster whitewash fr. BM) over the holidays. We really wanted the woodwork to pop and more of a cottagey feeling for the room in general. So far I love it. Anele, I'm so glad to hear you think it looks cozy. I was afraid by going so light on the walls that it would be cold. When the new chairs come, we will try turning the rug and moving things around....See MoreMy Safavieh rug and Overstock's advice!!!??
Comments (19)Well... I just called Savavieh because of never receiving a response and I wanted answers before I called Overstock. When I got on the phone with customer service I asked to speak with a supervisor or manager. The lady asked what it was in reference to. I started explaining how I sent an email and never got answers back. She finished my sentence and knew who I was. She then said she didn't get around to it yet. (What?) Her boss was out, email is down today, etc. and so forth. I sent the email 5/10 and sent a follow up 5/13 basically saying "no response?" Got nothing. At least follow up and say you need to show the photos to the boss, etc. and you'll get back to me. I'm just glad she was nice. She did mention she has a hand tufted rug at home but said it doesn't look like those photos. I was glad to hear that. - I think. She said her boss was back today and in a day or so she'd have a response back to me. I'm not really sure what they'll even do since I bought it from Overstock but we'll see. - I didn't mention in the email where I got it but said on the phone with her during conversation saying I was waiting to hear from them to contact OS, yadda ya. I'll wait to call OS for now. If it comes down to it I will ask them for a credit and see how it goes. Even a partial would be nice. If they say no, at least I asked. We're finishing the basement at the moment and this rug could maybe go in the office....See MoreAnyone good here on kilim rugs?
Comments (23)Very nice, prickly pear, thanks! Are you a "rug person" or devotee? You definitely got the brown and off-white stripe aspect, and the design is closer than what I found. It is a dear thing, although DH is wondering what we'll do with it because it's clearly never seen a floor (was it ever even finished in the first place?) -- maybe we'll hang it on one of these double-height walls we've got...I have a pretty cool rya rug hanging already with many of these same colors...wonder if they'd like each other... I learned that there is an excellent Persian rug cleaner/restorer here in my town (one of the best in the country, I'm told) -- I think I'm going to take it to them to find out whatever I can from someone seeing it IRL, too. Thanks!...See MoreSafavieh Rug Quality (hand-knotted) - for my FR
Comments (18)Thanks for the votes of confidence! I'm beginning to get nervous spending so much sight unseen--but it's handknotted, a Safavieh, all colors mentioned are on the warm side in my room. It shipped and scheduled to arrive on the 18th. For those following my duvet thread, the paisley duvet also shipped (early, yay!) and is scheduled to arrive on the 16th. Sounds like I have some rug moving to do next week. We're having guests over for Thanksgiving so will be nice to have it all in place before then. Cross your fingers for me!...See MoreRNmomof2 zone 5
