RUG- Anthro Blue, TJ Blue, TJ Red, Keep on Lookin'

17 days ago

I deleted my original post from a few minutes ago because it didn't post to the right forums.......

So master bath is pretty much completed. I changed my selection on tub so that still needs ro be connected but otherwise I'm very pleased.
I had posted asking for rug suggestions and plan to go with anthro norse mat pictured here.its still backordered until may 31 which is ok but I'm antsy.

I was at tjmaxx and saw there 2 washable mats and brought them home. ( because we all know if I went back to get them they'd be gone). The tj is actually 2 rugs 2 by 5 in each case but I likely would only use 1. Tj is $ 40, anthro is $68 so really which looks best?
The vanity is 4 feet long.

What say you and feel free to opine.

I like the pattern on the Anthro rug best and I like how the dark background of the border picks up on your black hardware.

I'm normally not a fan of blue, but I like that one in the space. Background blends with the tile and the "orange" ties into the vanity color.

Keep that one and the Anthro one if you also like it in person when it arrives. Rotate for a different look!

Karen, opps, we must of been typing at the same time. Sweet picture, made me bust out loud laughing. TJ is #252/2000 so there is alot like her out there. Luvs, DD does like to shop and then watch me smile. I'd like to think she inherited this from me.LOL OA, are you planning on sharing with us how your using the poem? The bunny has pink tulips and green stems painted on 'her'. Creek, my heart is still sad after reading your post about DD tonight. Hang in there and know we are all praying for you and yours. Jane, I don't think I'm much of an Energizer Bunny any more. Seems like I require more rest than I use to. I haven't had time to do any more decorating but will try to share a few more pictures of what I've decorated this weekend. Will miss your wonderful Easter table and decor this year for sure. Candy, it's so amazing how the enablers here have helped us increase our flatware as well as dishes and decor. I tell myself no more until I go shopping again.Darn It's fun to match flatware on our tables tho, don't you think? I will try to get more pictures taken and posted. Can't believe how time flies. Thanks so much for lookin and commenting! All your sweet comments are so appreciated. Know I care even if I don't get back here to comment in a timely mannor. Hope to see how some or all of you talented ladies use the poem. Punk

Where to get bathroom rugs and towels?

We do not use fabric softener and dryer sheets. I cannot stand the scent and the feel on the fabric. We also do not use liquid detergent, we run vineger and water through wash cycle to clean the washer monthly. I use microfiber towels to dry hair too. I collect vintage jewelry made of precious metal. I found microfiber towels are great for drying jewelry after being cleaned. Many thanks to all of you for the responses.

Honesty please.....to select a blue for my bedroom

Oh my, I had no idea y'all were still tweaking with my room....wonderful ideas, too! I've spent the last week steaming and stripping off the wallpaper beneath the chair rail. There was damage to the walls behind the paper that a contractor had done and just papered right over, and this was my opportunity to finally fix it. I've replastered all the gouged areas and sanded down all the sheetrock beneath the chair rail. Now that the surface beneath the chair rail is repaired, it's back to the original white color that we first painted the entire house. Already looking better than all yellow walls. As much as I love the blue walls, like those shown in the photos that oceanna posted, (thanks oceanna, you don't know how much I've pondered over all your gallery contributions), I've decided that the best way to bring in the blue I like is through bedding, accessories and pillows. I just haven't found a blue wall color that I'm comfortable with, and believe me, I've searched all over. I went on a search yesterday afternoon, and was instantly put off by the fact that our local BM paint store wasn't open on the weekends. I'd stopped in there once before, (during the week, apparently), and wasn't impressed with the attitude of the fellow working there. He just wasn't helpful at all and seemed totally uninterested in selling paint. Their being closed yesterday clinched it. Just around the corner was Sherwin Williams, open 'til 6 and with the most helpful staff. I walked out of there with my toile pillow and a handful of chips that matched the yellow and white shades I was looking for with a smile on my face. If you've read this far.....lol!....I will tell you that I've decided to do a SW creamy white beneath the chair rail, and a SW softer buttery yellow above. The bedskirt will be a Waverly blue/yellow/white plaid and I'll find another blue and yellow throw or quilt for the end of the bed. Going to Penny's for that search, thanks Piper! I'm changing out the pillows to add white Euro shams with yellow pillows and a blue bolster type pillow. Looking for small blue accent rugs for the floor. Plan to build fabric covered cornices or pelmets for the windows to take advantage of the 9' ceilings and raise the eye up above the windows - that way I can keep the curtains, which I love. I'm also adding white trim to the top of the curtain flounce. Whew! If you are still reading, thank you all! Your ideas and suggestions have been fantastic and the room will eventually transform into what I was wanting all along!! Heidi

Do you have a rug in front of your kitchen sink?
Q

Jen, your oven thermostat can be recalibrated or perhaps even replaced, most definitely! IIRC you live relatively close to an urban area - try calling around to appliance repair companies to ask who in your area works on old stoves and doesn't just say to throw them out. Emphasize its sentimental value - if you don't object to a "little white lie" you could say you inherited it from Grandma or something. (Well, you inherited it from someone's grandma anyway, when you bought the house! Right? :-)) You might also want to check out The Old Appliance Club, which rebuilds thermostats and locates replacement parts, although you'll still need a local person to actually put it in. I have the hots for Mary Lu's sink. Big time. When we were starving college students, DH and I once rented part of an 1800s farmhouse where the entirety of the kitchen equipment was a freestanding double-drainboard sink almost exactly like Mary Lu's, a stove that made AuntJen's look ultramodern :-) a somewhat random old refrigerator that sounded like a jet engine, and a built-in hutch about 3' wide. That was all. No cabinets, no counters. We prepared everything on the kitchen table and stored the dry groceries on bookshelves in the living room! Oh, and the bathroom consisted of a toilet in the corner of the kitchen. Just standing there in the corner of the kitchen. LOL The week before we moved in the landlord boxed it in and added an RV-sized shower, which is all that would fit. The lady who had the apartment before us had lived there for over fifty years and was perfectly content to wash with her old pitcher and bowl, so landlord wasn't going to go fooling around in there. (I think she came with the house when he bought it!) She had decorated the apartment (except for the kitchen, which was from somewhere around 1900-1910) in 1940 and it was virtually untouched when she died in 1994 and we moved in.

I like all of them and for me it would really depend on what colors you want to bring into the room. I'm a blue lover, so would choose blue accessories before I'd pick colors to go with the other, but I think the reddish one looks really nice with your vanity (which is beautiful)!

Your bathroom turned out so pretty!! I like the anthro blue…it’s a bit softer to me, more spa-like.

I think I may have suggseted that Anthro rug. I have a similar one and fyi, even though it says it is not washable, it is.

I agree that the border picks up the hardware. Love that vanity!

I’m usually not a fan of blue either, but think the Anthro rug looks best.

If you want to shop a little more, I can vouch for these washable rugs from Tumble. I ordered this one in green (looks dark gray on the screen), which is almost a dark teal. I am using it by our entrh from the garage because every single rug and pad i put there keeps moving around. I have only slightly adjusted this one once in about a month.

I like the blue. I don't see how the others relate to your room.

I would prefer a grayish blue.

My eyes are drawn to the TJMaxx blue. The pale blue is so pretty, but looks a bit washed out to me. It seems like the cabinet would wind up being the darkest thing in the room, and the darker blue kind of balances that out, IMO.

Interesting- thank you for the feedback. When I looked earlier, the Anthro was the clear . I do really like it (except that I have not seen it in person) and was going to order it, but since it's backordered I got cold feet. Yes, I think Mtn did suggest it and I do love it.

I think the TJM blue is more harmonious, but it doesn't do anything for me, even though I am the biggest blue person.

I saw like Oly that the red was sort of unexpected and looked really nice with the wood of the vanity.

Eld, I did a partial reveal but figure I'll wait until tub is in and also the mirror I got, is not tall enough. I selected SW North Star. for the paint- a blue gray.

Well it IS tall enough but it had to cover electric box from the light bar so it's too far from the vanity. I ordered similar mirror just 4 inches taller so that needs to be changed out. Also we decided since they have to come back to install the tub, that we should use the shower and see what makes sense for grab bars.

Whoever suggested Kohler, thank you. They are so much more attractive than many others.

I guess I'll order the anthro rug and whenever it gets here, it will get here. I may keep the red TJM for now, and or use some white otton woven mats for the time being.
