We need a rug

StokedWifey

We got rid of our sectional around Christmas and got a brown leather couch.  Add that to the brown leather recliner my husband refuses to part with and the brown leather cocktail ottoman I finally sold yesterday, plus the brown/blue/tan rug and our living room could be a cave.  Once the ottoman was gone, the rug became very evident.  I paid $50 for it a few years ago and MH hates it.  He said to start looking for something else.  I told him we could run to Target and he said he wants a GOOD rug, high quality and not to be afraid to spend a few hundred on it.  I'm a cheapskate, so this is not sitting well with me.  If I spend that much, I have to love it and be able to commit for awhile.  Where the heck do I find rugs????

I looked at Lowe's and Home Depot yesterday, and Target's website today.  I kinda want the trellis design, but need a certain blue and cream.  This could be a nightmare.

@hijinx I wish we had a PB outlet!  Darn you.  

I've tried to tell MH that spills will happen, but he doesn't care.  We don't have carpet anywhere, so it's nice to have a rug and the one in there just looks horrible for potential buyers.  Thanks girls.  I'll try your suggestions.  I found a few on Overstock, but the price hurts my feelings.  I can't coupon this! Ha

I've seen great rugs at Menards, Home Depot, etc. but you said you already looked there.  Do you have a Gordman's?  I remember there rug section being really good at our store.  Otherwise my other go to store is Shopko, which is similar to Target/Walmart just not as big.  They do have an online area though.  Also, have you ever looked at Overstock.com?

I actually just found 2 on Overstock.  I have never even heard of the other places you said.  What is Gordman's??

Rugs USA is where we've gotten all of our really nice rugs. Amazing selection and always running some kind of sale. Amazon has a lot also.

It's like a TJ Max, but way better quality of items.  I found Silver Capris there for 1/2 price one time.  Hopefully you know what a TJ Max is, otherwise it's a discounted department store.  They have homegoods, toys, clothes, candles, rugs, paintings, etc.  I go there when I'm decorating.

I know what that is.  We need a Gordman's then!

I found exactly what I want on Rugs USA's website.  With 65% off, I can get a massive rug that was $900 something for $326 or a 9x6 for $136.  Sweet!  I knew I could count on y'all.  Thanks so much!

We just got one from Ballard Design. Expensive but great quality.

I've also heard good things about Rugs USA!  I also had luck at overstock recently, and I was able to find a coupon online.

The new West Elm at the Summit! I am obsessed with pretty much all of the rugs.

ETA: Holy cow, they are expensive. Maybe not the best suggestion.... Maybe you could wait for a sale??

There's no waiting.  The room looks AWFUL.

Have you checked out Homegoods? I got one there maybe 4 years ago ( a 9x7 for around $250) and it has held up really nicely! It is in our dining room, which doesn't get much traffic in our current house, but I used to walk on it every single day in my old house.

I was told no Homegoods because that's where we got ours.  Haha.  MH is a dodo.  I think we'll probably go with one I found on Rugs USA.  With their prices, we may be able to get one for our room too!
