Week 4 of “The One Room Challenge”

[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
Wow!  I don’t know about everybody else,
but I cannot believe it’s been a month
 since I started 
with these wonderful ladies…
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
Where does the time go?  Only two weeks
 to finish this project!  Yep, that’s right,
 only two more weeks!!!!! 
 Yikes!!!!

If you are just tuning in, you can check out 
Weeks One, Two, & Three to get up to speed.
 
This week we went shopping for an 8′ x 10′  rug for the family room. 
There wasn’t time to order from my wholesale resources, 
so we had to hunt down rugs that were
 available through retail.


Remember the rug that was originally
in the room?  Here she is…
(plz ignore that cord! I forgot to make it purdy!)

Unfortunately, this doesn’t go with the new color scheme! 
So, off she went to the rug graveyard!
 
We needed something neutral, durable dog friendly and not outrageously priced.  Of course it also had to be in stock and ready to be delivered to meet our deadline. Off shopping we went to find our rug!
 
After several hours, of shopping, a frozen yogurt and tired feet 
these guys,made it to the finals!

1) Capel Rugs “Essex” in putty. 8’x11′ $515.
We liked the pattern and the colors. 
This rug is fairly soft as well.

 2) Pottery Barn’s Chunky Wool & Natural Jute Rug
 8′ x 10′  $549.00.  This rug is a great rug
and met all the criteria, but did we want 
a little more pattern?

3) Pottery Barn’s Alhambra Tile Dhurrie in espresso.
  8’x10′  $599.00.  Was this too patterned?
 
Choices, choices!!! So there you have it! The finial three! What do you think?  We stayed in the budget, found rugs in stock and accomplished out goals!
 
Guess you will have to wait to see what we chose!

(I’ll give you a little hint, the first rug was flawed when we brought it home,so back to the store it
went!  The second rug seemed a little boring.
If you are still reading….bet you know which one was just right!!!  haha!!!)
