Yes, my friends, the debate continues… so much so, that you may soon ask yourself, “How long can Jessica string this rug thing along?”
Uncomfortable shifting. Like, it could be awhile…
But it’s going to depend very much on the 4 purchases I made this week.
See, here’s what I did….. I scoured the internet looking for affordable options. RugsUSA, Overstock, Ebay, One Kings Lane, you name it and I probably looked through it. You guys, this was hours of my life. Wasted?! Nope, happily spent looking at rugs that I COULD and might very well BUY. Ahhh, the joys of looking through the window and coming home with a new puppy… except my puppy doesn’t pee or poop or cry all night. It’s cuddly and cute, and doesn’t touch anything.
I also, kinda came to the conclusion that I really want an emerald sofa. I know it’s been done. I know it’s soooo green. But I love the look and damn the haters! Here is one that I’m totally going to put my butt on one of these days from Mod Shop.
With green lovely in mind, I purchased these 4 rugs from Overstock. They just had the best prices, the best selection and the best return policy.
Traditional vintage is what Overstock is calling this rug… I’m not sure if it’s an oversell, but it’s kinda working since I bought it. It’s like on a dating website when you read something that intrigues you… this is that rug; Is it worth a 1st date? With Mr. TradVin, I really went back and forth… would it be horribly fake looking or super chic? Will I be stuck paying for the expensive bottle of wine that it drank all by itself? True Story. Well, I’ll be letting you know in a few short days.
This grey rug, strangely called light blue on the website is made of viscose, which feels all silky and looks shiny and fancy. I like the monochrome color and the viscose might just take the schnazzy factor up a notch. Also, it’s got flecks of green in it… I kinda gotta see it.
I’d be hiding my emotions if I didn’t tell you that this Safavieh Valencia is right now in the lead. That blue looks so good on my computer screen – do you think so too? And with the green sofa?! Get outta here! It’s nice. Real nice. But look, I’ve been misled by colors before, so I couldn’t just put all my rug eggs into one shopping basket.
You may be wondering why the rug from Aladdin made the cut, but there are two very good reasons for it. One, this rug is literally sending shivers of fear down my husband’s back as we speak (he despises this traditional look and I like to keep him on his toes) and two, I have a very good feeling about it. I could be totally wrong, but I think red devil here could be a ringer…or maybe I’m just easily tempted by a daring choice.
So, what do you think? Am I crazy to think about lugging 3 (possibly 4) ugly rugs back to UPS?? Have you done this in search of the perfect rug?
