Little Miss Martha: Rugs { Again }

Rugs { Again }

Can you believe the weekend is over?
Do you ever get that moment on Sunday night when you think back to Friday and all the things you were going to accomplish over the weekend and realize, while you are sitting there exhausted, that you didn't get to do any of them? I feel like that's my every Sunday. And then it starts all over again...

Anyways, my mom came down this weekend to help me find a rug. I'm not a very big help when it comes to actually going to shop for a rug besides going to Home Goods because honestly that's the only place I know to look that might have something big enough and for a decent price. Besides online...

So... after we scoured all week last week we were down to three favorites on Rugs USA. BTW they are having a phenomenal sale and it ends TODAY! So hop on over to Rugs USA Rugs USA and get yourself a new rug for 70% or 80% off when you are done browsing my favorites!

Remember the Threshold Criss Cross Fleece Rug that I've had my eye on?

Well {insert Kylie Minogue tune}, I can't get it out of my mind! After all, it's what I thought I wanted in the first place and had it been 8x10 it would have been in my living room weeks ago... but alas it wasn't so the search continued.

And after hitting the two Home Goods closest to my home Saturday, I hadn't seen anything that tickled my fancy... there was one with the cross pattern in it, but I looked tan... so we kept searching...

I just kept coming back to these guys...
This one -- The Felted Wool Dhurrie Rug -- in gray was my absolute favorite. It loved the color, the texture, the neutral-ness of it and the fringe! But... even at 70% off, it was a little bit out of the price range and it didn't come in an 8x10 so I would have been settling for a 7x9 which would not work as well.

Next was this one -- The Tuscan Moroccan Shag Rug -- in Ivory... and it was pretty much the closest thing to the Target version. However, at 70% off it came in at $504 for an 8x10... still a great price on an 8x10 rug, but I wanted to stay right around $300 if possible.... Home Goods was my price gauge! haha...

And this little guy -- The Marrakesh Shag Rug -- melted my heart with it's soft shag and adorable braided fringe!! I mean, that fringe is to die for, right? Why wouldn't someone want that in their house? Ahh... I still melt every time I look at it... And with 70% off, the price was almost right at $374. This one was high on my list. My mother thought otherwise because she said the fringe would never be straight and it would drive her crazy. But seriously, this handsome thing could never drive me crazy...
