No! Not yet (sigh) Fingers crossed that it arrives today.

Came home to no rug so I called to find out whats going on. Turns out that my overdue rug is now showing up their computer as not in stock until summer. I canceled my order. Yayagal bummer..it was a good try! everdebz you said you had another rug in mind for this room. Would u mind sharing your ideas pls? I’m open to all suggestions.

moxie,,what did the one look like you ordered? can you post another pic? oh wait,,,was it this one?

Home Depot has it

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Safavieh-Blossom-Green-Multi-5-ft-x-8-ft-Area-Rug-BLM402B-5/206784221

what do you think about an overdyed wool?

or do you want a multiple color one? others in the same 'Blossom' line,, diff colors

I do t think that was the rug for you. I would remain rugless and keep your eye out for a bargain on a real hand-knotted quality rug. Apparently Craigslist is a good place for deals, keep an eye on the DC market too if you know you will be traveling again

Oh Moxie, that's awful! I'm so sorry - hope you find something else that's even better. Meanwhile, happy Friday!

I always say if it wasn't meant to be it wasn't 'meant to be. I'm still voting for a less traditional rug in our space, especially since we have now seen your remodeled kitchen.

Is beth’s third option an example
Of a less traditional rug?

overdyed

Yes.

I like the first one Beth. It picks up on the light blue in the print above FB. I would a blue rug, sofa and accent chair be too much blue?

I'm looking for something with blue in the feel of the room.

post another pic of your room,,,maybe I can photoshop it in the pic.

did the light come?

and did you check HD and that other company for your original rug? maybe they have it in stock.

for this one you would have to get a price quote

claire and beth-- those rugs are beautiful but I think Ive confused you all. The green rug that was on order and never showed up was for the living room with the FP. See pic below. Beth, I checked out my local HD and it wasn't in stock. Im back to square one with trying to find an 8x10 area rug that works in that room, with the accent chair and framed pic above FP. Ceiling light fixture and sconce arrived last week--Electrician hopes to come this week to install. (I need to start a new thread for the blue room with large windows and new scalamandre pillows...Im not looking for a rug in this room, just an ottoman and pillows for the brown sofa. Sorry to make a mess of things! )

I understand,,,,,so this rug pictured, you can't find. so we are looking for another one, possibly blue, to replace it? has to go w/the furniture and the painting.

Claire posted a nice blue one above,,,, and I think someone else posted your rug from another site. maybe try them to see if they have it? prob not if no one else has it in stock. did you like that same Blossom run in the lighter white/blue I posted (it's in a runner in the pic) ?

Clare's rug is out of my price range (but its beautiful). Beth, do you have a link for your blue rug option? Id like to see it. Thanks for the link to the original green rug yayagal. Im still drawn to this one. Perhaps this is another option?

Would love to hear whether you think I should go blue or green with the rug.

or maybe this one to pull in gold tones from the art? https://www.westelm.com/products/tile-wool-kilim-rug-t2867/?pkey=crugs-flooring%7C4294682134%3A4294704443&group=1&sku=2840064

You can do one rug with all three colors

moxie,,try the overdyed here on Houzz. I just ordered mine from here and love it. I got the dark, cobalt blue. they have many other colors/sizes

https://www.houzz.com/photos/products/query/tabriz-overyed-rugs/nqrwns

here's that west elm one. did you like it better in the gold?

here's an actual Arts/Crafts style rug

houzz is erasing more than 2 pics posted in a comment. weird...

here's the other Arts/crafts one I mentioned.

this one is similar to that other one you liked

Love those last two Beth H

Your home is not an Arts and Crafts bungalow. The stairs, the windows, and even the fireplace surround indicate that it is a Queen Ann “Victorian.” Late 19th, early 20th century. Not a farmhouse, either. Rather than Arts and Crafts antique furnishings, you should look at Eastlake furniture. You will find some beautiful tables and chairs, parlour tables, mirrors, etc. In oak, mahogany, etc. Good luck!

Thank you ptreckel, That’s what I was trying to prove to moxiekt

Moxie, the last link I sent had the rug, same price too.

Apologies for hijacking the current subject, but how do I send a PM to someone? Specifically, Moxie ;)

That original rug in blue was nice too, esp if leaving the wall light.

You have to send a message in his profile

Moxie said she's not looking for a rug for that room now, just an ottoman and then would like help on another room in another thread.

fun thread thanks for posting. I just wanted to add some words of caution: be sure to know how long your newly refinished floors need to cure before putting down your new rug

I prob spent 5 hours looking at rugs online today ha. Im reluctant to buy one that is mostly all-blue for fear of either the blues not matching or just there being too much blue. So Im focusing on multi-color rugs, using the art above FP. . Beth's 2nd suggestion:

Beth's 1st suggestion (but I can't find it in 8 x 10):

here is the green one I can reorder that yayagal originally found:

I found these two:

If you all convince me that a blue rug is the way to go, I do like this one from Beth:

I might start pulling my hair out soon.

i like them all. I know. big help. i do like the all blue one, but I like your original one too. and I like that one in white. a lot! get two of them and switch it out! lol. I will say, that last overdyed blue one, they are easy to care for. won't show stains, easy to vacuum. but the colors in the others are nice too. see which ones have the best return policy and get what you like, knowing you can always return it.

Just glanced over this whole thread. I think you need to take a step back and not think about anymore decor for this room until you have the floors redone. It is going to change everything.

Rug wise, I personally would go with a sisal, jute type of rug. This room and your hallway feel connected to me. Both have a number of great architectural features and wood work. Let the house speak for itself and let the architecture be the highlight of these rooms and the decor be a backdrop. The simplicity and beauty of your farm house is getting lost in too many color and decor ideas.

I have a 160 year old house and have chosen to use a really restrained touch in decorating so the pretty bones of the house can speak for themselves.

For what it's worth, I like the end table and lamp between the two sofas but I prefer the gold floor lamp next to the chair.

Rug

I am new to Houzz and have been exploring the website. I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread. Everyone has been so helpful with their comments and suggestions. Moxie your home is beautiful. I can't wait to post my first "help" question.

So the beautiful art piece must go above the fireplace. Preferably the blue sofa across fro it to balance it, maybe the mirror could go above it. Two chairs in the bay window with some sort of table between. The floral chair where the sofa was unless you find something to go with it in the bay window. The built ins need some accent pieces unless you must keep all the books, or do the stacking and color sorting of the bookshelves. Pull some color from that picture down and around. This is a fabulous room.

If you can’t get the one we all like, I like the one above your solid blue. It has a flowered medallion look with large gold flowers to bring the golds in the picture and light fixture down.

Etsy has lots of overdyed rugs if you are looking for one. I would love to s e a high quality traditional rug ground the space. Reds look so good with the blues. The patchwork rugs are fun: I got one on etsy for a great price (mine not shown)

Some examples of what I mean by traditional, works great with reds grounding the space

Lots of action happening over here. Ceiling fixture and scone were hung yesterday and today this started in the adjacent room (dining room).....

Ooooh boy!

Tomorrow they tackle the living room with FP. greenfish I like those red rug suggestions. I def want a rug with red as either a main color or accent.

Woohoo! So exciting, Moxie! Can't wait to see pictures of the sconce and ceiling light. Happy weekend!

moxie, those floors are going to look so cool! love how they did the borders on those

yes, I drooled when I saw that border in the hardwood flooring, hiding under wall-to-wall carpet. No such luck with the borders in the living room, but Im not complaining.

Coat 1 of 3. The patch in the center that wasn’t thread in properly will have to stay. Area rug will cover it.

Floors are finished...Thank you everyone!

Moxiekt your floors look great but one thing it looks like some of the planks are sticking out....is that just me.

Claire, nope they are all level. But maybe you’re seeing the gaps in between the planks that are typical for old floors. We choose to not fill them in. They still have to finish the toe trim.

Oh ok that’s what I’m seeing the gaps

moxie, they look great! that room is so pretty! I'm going to post your pic on another post. she has a room very similar to yours.

Gorgeous, Moxie!! I love it! BTW, is that an LLBean half-round rug in front of your hearth? If so, I have one just like it, lol. (Excuse the mess on the hearth!)
