I ordered FLOR samples...

October 6, 2010

...and my husband hates them.

Like the lovely Sugar (of Modern Organinc Living) suggested, I've been on the hunt for an area rug (probably 5' x 8')  for our living room.  I've heard so many good things about FLOR, so I decided to peruse their website for some inspiration and came across a few rugs that I really, really loved:


I'm leaning adding toned-down teals or blues in the way of either a rug or throw pillows or both.  I really want a rug with color just because I think a neutral color would be hard to keep clean (especially with two pups that like to roll around in dirt every once and a while).  I'm really happy with FLOR's service- $5 for three samples and it took about five days to arrive in my mailbox, so I wouldn't discount ordering from them.  I also like the idea of having a rug that's more versatile (replacable pieces in the case of stains/ the ability to size down a larger rug to mix things up or relocate it). 

I think the problem here is that my husband tends to be a "big picture" person.  He has a really hard time visualizing the final outcome during the in-between stages (uh, this happened while I was planning our wedding).  Maybe I need to create an inspiration board just for him....
