![]() ![]() When the rug finally arrived at our house, I was actually at work for the night, so Garrett did the initial set-up. The colors and pattern are beautiful and I think it ties our living room together. It obviously is not a handwoven vintage rug, but despite it being printed on, it doesn’t look cheap or anything. It doesn’t have much rise/pile to it (which is perfect), but it is still very comfortable underneath the feet. I could not be happier with the way this rug looks. While we were definitely putting out a bit more than some of the cheap options we found on Amazon, I kept reminding myself that this was more of an investment since it was washable and would not be absolutely destroyed if I spilled my wine on it □ Runners run about $130-190 depending on the length which isn’t HORRIBLE, especially if you get a coupon code. #RUGGABLE RUNNER FOR FREE#An 8 x 10 will set you back about $399, but keep your eye out for coupon codes because I got a 20% off coupon before I bought, which definitely helped! (I used the FREE Honey browser extension to find the 20% off coupon code– you can download it for free here! Plus using my link, you’ll receive 500 points on your first purchase that you use Honey with, which is equal to $5). ![]() I read a lot of reviews and toiled for over a month about which rug I wanted, until I finally settled on the Sima Sage rug in an 8 x 10. The rugs they always advertised seemed to be in the color scheme I was craving, and in a similar pattern to what I wanted. I was pretty much daily getting Instagram ads for a company called Ruggable, who marketed themselves as creating a ~*~ revolutionary~*~ washable rug. THEN, because my phone was probably tracking my extensive search history for rugs, the Instagram ads began. Which still did not feel like the most cost effective option. But spot cleaning only goes so far, and for being a high traffic area, it would probably need to be deep cleaned often or just completely replaced every couple years. It felt like the alternative would be to buy an “inexpensive” rug and using our SpotBot Pet vacuum cleaner (amazing purchase BTW) whenever we had a mishap. Not to mention that getting Persian rugs professionally cleaned costs quite a bit. ![]() I had a gut feeling that if we bought the vintage rug of our dreams, our lifestyle would find a way to immediately destroy it. #RUGGABLE RUNNER FULL#Here’s where my dilemma arose: G and I have a dog who loves to run around our backyard that is full of red clay, we drink a lot of coffee in our living room (that often gets knocked over), and I like to enjoy a good glass of red wine (and I’m also incredibly clumsy). There were a few that I found on Amazon that were under $150 for an 8×10, but the reviews were sometimes mixed, and I just wasn’t 100% in love with them. I had looked on Etsy, eBay, you name it, and I could not find a reasonably priced rug that I liked. The challenge in this is finding a rug like this that isn’t $600+. My mom is a bit of collector of antique, Persian rugs, and so I naturally tend to like the look/pattern of them however, I tend to gravitate towards less of the bright, rust/red/orange rugs, and more of the earth tones, neutrals, and whites. Mostly because it didn’t seem as high up on the priority list as other big items for our house, but also because we just couldn’t find one we liked. ![]() We have been in our new house since May, and we had spent about 6 months of that time rug-less in our living room. A little over a month ago now, G and I FINALLY bought a rug. ![]()
