Rugs, Rugs, and Even More Rugs

There are things that I am good at and like to share (or my wife likes to say, brag/pontificate about/etc), but then there are things that others are good at and can explain much better.

Rugs are one of those instances. I know we need rugs in our house, because it sounds like a warehouse, but I don't know where to start.

What to do? Google. My best friend. However, Google showed me a lot of dead ends until I found this gem of a site. She laid out all of the things one would need to know to get a rug. As an added bonus, she added a video to show the various sizes and mistakes.

So rather than steal/regurgitate what she put, how about I send her some of you readers to her.

Just be sure to come back here every once in a while.

What we decided on was an 8x8 for the gamily room, a 9x12 for the dinning room, a 6x9 for the living room. All wool and all from Overstock.com. In all, we spent about $800 dollars on rugs that will help give the room depth and reduce the warehouse effect in our home.

Oh, be sure to buy rug pads to prevent slipping. I did a combination of Amazon.com and Overstock.com to get the best price.

Hope this helps you choose the right rug for you once bare and cold room!
