dinneR ★ Posted June 16, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 16, 2019 Skip the rug and get the seahorse table. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted June 16, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 16, 2019 Make sure the chairs slide in and out without hitting the edge. The rug will fray, you will be made. Also someone will break a chair trying to get up from the table. It will be your sister and it will piss you off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted June 16, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 16, 2019 See, besides the cost of the flooring, this is why I'm hesitant to pull out all the carpets and get hardwood (or laminate) installed. Mrs already spends a small fortune replacing the throw rugs in the hard floored entrance hall. She'd have to buy (and regularly replace) dozens more if we had hard floors throughout the whole house. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybeegb Posted June 16, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 16, 2019 WofTy would buy the rug, after she bought the table. She bought a table like that with dolphins instead of seahorses. And a bigger rug with a nautical theme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted June 16, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 16, 2019 I would take a leather sample of your couch to check it first. Teal is a colour you can have too much of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! I am one of the few remaining fans of carpet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ''think'' the Mrs and I have come to an agreement. We'll replace the carpets in the living room and bedrooms with midgrade carpet, but more often per the doggie/doggies, and she gets her high priced ceramic tile in the kitchen. At least that's the plan until she changes her mind again. Meanwhile nothing gets done because we've been agreeing/disagreeing about the floors for several years now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted June 16, 2019 Share #9 Posted June 16, 2019 I made a table like that when I was doing handyman work for a guy only his wife wanted it made with a giant seashell she already had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted June 16, 2019 Share #12 Posted June 16, 2019 I would buy two. And then, I would get a dog. I'll send you Ylva in a week. Shu Fang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why you invest in hand woven. All ours are wool/silk hand woven from Turkey. One we have in the living room is about 30 years old. Even with a toddler and a sorta elderly dog who has accidents, it is in great shape. A little baby shampoo mixed with water, a light scrubbing and hang it to dry. Easy peasy. Most rugs today are machine, not really the bad part, and woven on a fiber (usually sisal) backing; where the problem lies. The fiber is usually some exceptionally cheap material that absorbs the stain/smell/color and re leeched it back into the rug. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share #14 Posted June 16, 2019 It is home..original price $400something..like maybe $489..Final Sale price $329.97..that s'pose to be the lowest markdown..but it rang up with an additional 20% off..Came to $283.45 including tax...nice deal..I should probably get a pad for underneath it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought them in Armenia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not even put it down without a pad. The pad will keep the rug in better shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share #18 Posted June 17, 2019 Yup..I am also waiting for the other furniture to be delivered...which is the other rug, the couch and matching chair...I am thinking of waiting for the labor day sale before I order the other 2 chairs..if I get them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
