Do you like Kilim rugs? I do. Will you help me choose?
This is going to seem silly, but if you’re so inclined, please humor me. I have stared at these rugs for so long now, my eyes are blurry.
I know! They’re so similar — colors, designs, style. They’re all 2+ ft x 4+ ft and each is on sale for $69/free shipping! Great deal. But I can’t decide which I like best. It’s totally opinion and personal preference, no right or wrong answer, but I’d love to know your choice for the fun of it.
Scene: Music room/office in spare bedroom. Big window, great light. Tan carpet I can’t change. Gold/tan walls I love and wouldn’t change. Room is a little bit country, a little bit rock roll ... guitars on walls, vintage Duncan Phyfe china cabinet for collected pretties and storage, antique Mexican saddle on stand, vintage Southwestern floor lamp, vintage tooled leather stool my late husband’s grandfather made, vintage desk chair my uncle used on our family ranch when I was growing up, vintage map of Long Island (I married a Yankee), cool Mexican pine chair the guitar player uses, custom framed Stones poster from last concert of theirs we attended (adding another in May!!), weird old corner table computer sits on, western art .... hopefully you get the picture. It’s eclectic, electric (hur hur, guitars), fun, vintage-y, cool. And it needs a Kilim rug. Tan carpet is, well, tan carpet, and I want something to break it up.
Before any freak-outs over rugs on top of carpet ... this ain’t my first rodeo. I currently have 4 other rugs on carpet, including a cowhide, throw rugs, area rugs. It’s fine.
Blah blah ... please tell me your favorite. Thank you. :)

The room ...... just your basic, small suburban spare bedroom. We’re currently renting after selling last house, or I’d remove carpet.
The carpet is clean and in new condition; the room was hardly used before we moved in. Shadows in these pics make it look skanky, I know.

Antique saddle. My dad won the saddle blanket in ‘87 (cutting horse competition).
My late husband’s grandfather made this. I cherish it.
Some much-loved stuff in there, including antique cowbells (from rodeo/bull riding) and my prized Breyer horse model, Man O’ War, circa ‘70s, Jamaican carved wood vases my husband collected with his late wife, beach rocks from Cape Cod visit when my DD was little, old pottery, etc.Oh! I forgot about the big grapevine balls, forgot to put them up after Christmas. IGNORE THE BALLS —
I know it’s very cluttered, but it is what it is! Big downsize from last house. Let’s call it a layered look. :DThat old printer the size of a small car will be out of here soon.
The Long Island map, that my husband assures me everyone growing up on LI would remember seeing (this was in his house when he was a kid).
Seeing them again this year!!
Vintage hand tooled purse.
Want the throw rug here. An accent piece to break up the dumb carpet.
My now husband’s grandmother did this lovely pencil drawing (right of guitar) in 1947 ...
Very old family belt buckles (I have more, need to get them out):

Thank you, Ida! Hmm, I like the idea of tree of life.
The antique saddle has always been just for display (my dad had it, then gave it to me during one of his moves, now I won’t give it back). :D Sadly, I had to sell our horses, trailers, tack, saddles during/after ... well, you know. It was tough.
Look at this steel horn! Hurts just looking at it! None of us has ever figured out why all the pitting. Curious.
