Time for New Rugs!

I am SO super excited about this!

These beautiful, fabulous rugs are on their way to my house!!! I have no idea how, but somehow I stumbled onto the RUGS USA website, and realized that almost all of their clearance rugs are an additional 75% off when you use coupon code: CL75OFF

what what! When I spotted that Morrocan Trellis beauty I immediately called Mike to tell him about it. I REALLLLY wanted it. (for me to be willing to improperly spell a word, you need to know I mean it)

He told me that if it was meant to be it would still be there when he got home and could look at it too. It was!!! YAHOO! So, I showed him that one, and a few other options, but we decided that the Moroccan Trellis was the best choice for our living room. At only $112 dollars for a 100%  wool rug there really was no question in my mind.

I also really liked this Wrought Iron pattern.

Mike liked it too, I was a little concerned about how it would lay with furniture on top of it, and how well it would hold up. So... We bought the 2'1"x4' version of this rug, and we're going to use it in the entry! It was only $23!!! Which is an insanely good price. I have been admiring this type of rug for a long time, and I couldn't find an 18"x30" for less than $40.

Some of you might be wondering what we're going to do with our current living room rug, now that we bought a new one. After all it is only 4 months old, and that chevron pattern is pretty awesome!

I do love this rug, and it has worked really well for us. I think it's a little to big for this space, I know it's hard to keep clean, and it doesn't fully allow the hardwood floors to shine. I love how it ties into our chevron wall in the entry without being identical or to "in your face". However we spend a majority of our time at home in this room, and I don't think the polypropylene will last very long in this space, definitely not like wool would.
Now that you've heard my full rationalization of why we should purchase a new rug after having this one for just 4 months, I'll tell you what we're going to do with the old on. I am thinking we will take it upstairs to the playroom. I eventually want to put hardwood or laminate flooring up there, so we'll need something soft to protect little knees and elbows. For now, it should work well to protect the carpet.

What deals have you found recently that got your heart pumping?
