Traditional

1.26.2012

I have certainly been in nesting overdrive this month. I will probably crash soon. I haven't shown y'all a new rug I purchased for the sitting room in December. The old sisal rug that was in there was a temporary fix until I found the perfect one. The sisal was previously in the dining room and was covered in stains that were hidden pretty well under the furniture in the sitting room when I moved it in there.

I was looking at overstock.com at rugs and came across one with all the colors I was looking for. I was skeptical about ordering it because sometimes the color shows differently on the monitor than it actually is, but this rug had a lot of good reviews. I have bought most of my rugs from overstock. You can't beat having a huge heavy rug shipped for under three dollars and the prices are great.

I am glad this was delivered when Mr. Savvy was home. I don't think I could have handled this by myself.

We moved out the chairs, coffee table, and old rug and added the new non slip rug pad.

I love the colors of this traditional style rug. 

This rug is mostly taupe with beautiful silver blues, sage, maize, brown and red.
It takes on different colors depending on the light coming in.

I just wanted to show you some different shots in different lighting. This rug is by Safivieh and very well made.


This rug was already a great buy and I got an extra discount plus free shipping after Christmas.

Here is a shot of the old rug. The stack of books was hiding a stain.


I think this rug is the perfect match for this room.
Now, it is even cozier.

    I love getting rugs delivered...such an easy way to shop. This rug is perfection...you were spot on as always. It's such a generous size too. There's nothing worse than a skimpy rug and I should know because I have made that mistake a time or two. Enjoy!

    The love gives a great look to the room, and a bit of a different "vibe" to me. I've looked and looked at rugs on "O" but have never ordered one. I liked hearing your experience. Thanks.

    Kim,
    The colors go perfectly with the room! I haven't ordered anything from Overstock because I have heard the same thing about the colors not being exact. You really lucked out because it looks wonderful!

    I just love overstock for rugs. Since I moved into our new house a few months back, I've ordered 4 large rugs and have been very happy with them and seriously, no one can beat those prices! I actually got a 9x12 in the same pattern and company, different colors, for my great room as yours! It's so thick and high quality and the same rug was twice as much anywhere else! You can check it out here:

    I love it, Kim. It looks like it picks up a lot of colors in your room. Great choice. I am always a bit afraid to order something like that from Overstock because of the difference in colors than the monitor and the real thing. Glad it worked out this time. xo Diana

    Hi Kim,
    Your new rug is beautiful in the room. The colors are perfect.
    I wish that I didn't have such a hard time choosing rugs. I'll bring one home, try it and end up taking it back! LOL
    Maybe I need you to choose one for me.

    Love your new rug! I have a traditional style wool rug in our great room, and adore it. It's quite similar to yours, in a more greenish colour palette. I am so jealous of all the great shopping options you have down in the US. We're getting more and more north of the border, so hopefully this is another company that we can order from soon =)

    You will not believe this Kim!! I bought that rug today or at least one that is very close. I am sure it is the one though, and 8x10. I found it at HomeGoods. Wool, right? It is still on the truck. I wasn't sure about it and will see when it is down. The seagrass is on it's way to the hearth room and the kilim to the lodge. When I saw your rug I had to smile. Talk about great minds.

    I have always had great success with Overstock.

    Okay, we hauled it out of the truck and unrolled it a little bit, my curiosity got the best of me. Mine is darker, but the pattern is very similar. It has browns, blues reds and it has some black to pick up the black in the foyer rug and some of the black accents etc.
