I can already hear some of you saying, "I'd never order a rug online. It's too risky!" That's what I used to think too. I'm not going to lie, I was very hesitant to order online even after being approached by Rugs Direct. I didn't have high hopes and I seriously thought I'd be sending back at least one, probably 2, rugs before finding one that worked. And, let's face it, sending back a big 'o honkin' rug would not be fun!
You probably share some of my concerns. Like...
*Color, color, color!
Since my paint color was already selected and I was in l.o.v.e. with it, I didn't want to have to change things when the rug arrived and didn't quite work. I held my breath.
*Appearance.
I kept thinking, "What if it gets here and looks cheap?" Once again, I held my breath.
*Softness.
I don't know about you, but I'm very tactile. I walk through stores and touch everything. It was hard, hard ordering a rug and not knowing what it felt like. Guess what I did? Yep, I held my breath.
Good thing the rug arrived quickly so I didn't die from all that holding my breath stuff. Much to my surprise the color was perfect. The appearance looked even better in person. And the softness, was awesome. What a relief! Would I do it again? Absolutely.

I am new to your blog and have really been enjoying it! I could use a new rug to cover up some of the sad carpet in our rental. Is a rug over carpet acceptable? :)

oh my gosh my new house is BEGGING for a new rug! I think any room will gladly take dibs. I think our dining room might be the first up since we never had one in our current house!
I have been wanting to replace the rug in our living room for ages--so many great options!
I would use the rug in our Living Room. We just bought a house in the last two years and have a lot more room than we need. (for now) Winning a rug would be an absolute blessing and really spice up our Living Room! Fingers double crossed!
I will use the rug in our new bedroom we are working on so that we have room for my father to move to our home.
I would love it for our living room!
