I have the second rug in my entryway and really like it. I was going to buy the first rug for our dining room, but in person what appears white is a much more natural beigey tone that just doesn't work for me. Oh well.
I love the rainbow, but yes, rugs are one of those things where the quality really shows. We are getting ready to invest in another Angela Adams, although I'm not that crazy about the patterns we're considering (Flora in malachite is the front-runner, but just not sure; we have Islands in blue), just because they are the BEST soft surface for our toddler to tumble on. We spent a lot of time on the floor, so it's worth it to me to have something without chemicals that is really plush.
I'm going to be rug shopping soon as well. Rugs are so difficult...I can't afford really nice ones, so Ikea may fit the bill. I don't know, I just haven't seen any that I'm in love with. Maybe I'll buy some carpet tiles and make my own! Good luck!
This comment has little to do with rugs (I agree they are hard to pick though) but instead with this vintage Airstream Trailer for sale on eBay, pickup in SF.
Yes rugs are so hard to find , just the right color and size. I am still looking for rugs for my bedroom and have been for about 8 months now. I will know them when I see them as you will.
I like the black and white rug. Its tough finding something that fits well in my space!
ReplyDeletegreat choices. ikea has some really neat rugs.
ReplyDeleteyour rug czar I must advise: the chevron is icky in person. It's an outdoor rug

ReplyDeleteIt is an outdoor rug, but that's why it works great for my entryway, IMO.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, LOVE that rainbow striped one, why have I not seen it before?? Awesome...
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Overstock.com? I've had great luck with them.
ReplyDeleteJust a heads up!
ReplyDeleteI bought the rainbow one and it sheds, it sheds sooo much, tufts of rainbow luff everywhere. Mine isn't even in a high traffic area.

ReplyDeleteGood choice! I have the bottom one, and it's dear to me.
ReplyDeleteI bought it last year for my final year in undergrad, to be placed in my room at the sorority house.
I call it the rainbow rug, which is fitting.
Reminds me of girltalks, relaxing on for watching movies (it's so plush!), and connecting with my "sisters."
I'm looking forward to bringing it "home" at the end of the summer to my new place.
Love that rug!

ReplyDeleteSince I can't buy it you should.
i've been wanting the black + white one forever!
ReplyDeleteIkea has some great rugs. I find the process of buying a rug to be very difficult, myself.
ReplyDeletemy best friend has the black and white one and it's gorgeous in person. the white is a bit more creamy, which tones down the contrast. lovely...
