TUSCAN MOROCCAN SHAG RUG IN THE LIVING ROOM
*I was compensated with free product from RugsUSA. All opinions are 100 % on my own*
You all! Can you believe this is week 4 for the One Room Challenge? Wowza! Weeks are flying by so fast! It’s only two weeks left, and it’s going to be LIVING ROOM reveal time! I can’t wait. I still have to gather few pieces for the room but today you can see a little bit of the other side of the room and how it’s transforming into a fun living room. If you are new here, be sure to check out the sweet little corner that I shared last week along with a nice IKEA TV STAND HACK and my fun DRAMATIC STENCILED WALL. I have a feeling that this probably will be my new favorite room in the house. I wanted to create a cozy, mid-modern, boho mix room with lots of texture and colors, and I think I am going in a right direction with the plan.
Today I am going to show you my NEW rug in the house. I have a few rugs. Just a few:-) But of course, I needed a new one. Something I never had, a shag rug.
I spied this amazing Tuscan Moroccan Shag rug at RugsUSA, and I fell in love with it. I was super excited to get this rug to see how it looks in real life and how it feels. Well, it did not disappoint me. I thought the stripes were more gray color (based on the picture on the net) but they are brownish hues. Gorgeous.
I ordered a 5×7 size rug, and I thought it would look great with the set up I have imagined in this room, but I wasn’t right. The rug was a bit too small for the space so I decided to add another rug underneath. My vision for this room in my head was: lots of texture and greens with a pop of colors ( which still missing from this space) so I added a nice Jute Rug to the mix.
Now you can also get a peek of my OH SO GORGEOUS HAMILTON leather sofa. I’ve been eyeing this piece of furniture for the longest time. I was so crazy about it that I even drove an hour and a half to see it in person:-) Loved it, so SHE came home with me. Just note: I don’t buy a sofa like this every day.
Nope.
I don’t.
I am the cheapest person on this planet and getting a piece like this only happens once in a blue moon. I would DIY anything, and everything, and I would up-cycle anything and everything from the thrift stores if I could. That’s the sofa story.
So the sofa and the rug goes well together.
The rug is plush and very comfortable plus super stylish. I am not going to lie. It shed a bit, and it still does, but it is already so much better than the first weeks when I had the rug. Vacuuming little more often was required but, hey…that’s not the end of the world, right?
As you see, there is considerably good progress in here but I am still missing colors. I don’t think I can live without colors.
The agenda for the next couple of weeks is to: add colorful accessories, art and hopefully I will find a chair that I like that would also fit into my budget (uhm…budget was already overspent with the sofa purchase:-(()
What do you think about the new rug? And how do you like this look so far?
I will share some more details next week, come back and see what’s next on the list! You can also check out all the linking participants over at Calling It Home today!
Have fun browsing through the goodness!
