Let’s Talk Rugs (with a survey)!
/
Why are rugs so expensive? It’s so sad for a DIY’er that tries really hard to stick to her monthly budget.
I really thought I was done buying rugs but the other night I came up with the brilliant idea that our guest bathroom needed a runner. Nate loves my brilliant ideas. He's so happy he married a genius.
The guest bath is long and narrow. Perfect for a runner…
The walls will be painted Valspar’s Gravity (same as the guest bedroom). I did decide on a plain white shower curtain…because I want the rug to do the talking.
I was doing some on-line browsing and found some decent options on RugsUSA. Has anyone purchased from them? I had a bad rug experience with Overstock so I’m hesitant about ordering from them. Doesn’t mean I won’t…just hesitant. My options for purchasing a runner in a store in the area are VERY limited so on-line will probably be my best bet.
I had originally considered DIYing a chevron runner (like 100 other bloggers) but I don’t have an IKEA close and all of the runners I have found around the area are still pretty pricey for a plain runner that I could potentially ruin with paint. The option isn’t out but at this point, I think I would prefer to purchase something. Gotta make those long hours in the pharmacy good for something, right?
Ike and I want your opinions because we are the most indecisive pair….and we love a good survey..seriously, I'm that weirdo that fills out every survey that comes in the mail...
Zebra Print: Black or Grey
I’m also open to suggestions….especially if anyone knows where I can find a chevron runner. I really don’t want to spend more than $120-130…I don’t even really want to spend that, so the cheaper the better!
Let me hear your thoughts! Or should I just stick to good ol’ bath rugs and call it a day? Is a runner weird in a bathroom? Do share!
