New Hallway Rug

February 29, 2016

I finally upgraded the rug in our hallway… The little brown rug that we had in there the past few years was wore out. It had a few snags, the rubber backing was starting to peel from regular washing’s, and it had a couple of clorox stains by accident. It was time to upgrade. 

I knew I wanted a jute runner of some sort, and something that had a longer length to accommodate our long hallway… not just anything would work. I also wanted something with a subtle pattern, so that made it even trickier. I’ve looked and looked, but couldn’t find the right combination of length, pattern and price.

I memorized the dimensions just in case I ever stumbled across something on any of my shopping trips. And, as luck would be the case, I did just that…

While on a little shopping spree to World Market, I ran smack dab into a rug I loved. (YOU CAN FIND IT HERE!) It was the right size, had the perfect subtle pattern and was on sale, making it a fabulous price! I couldn’t wait to get it home…. it unrolled beautifully and fit our hallway perfectly. New rug for the WIN!

That pattern though…

It’s especially lovely with the dark gray threading in the mix… it’s exactly what I was looking for!

Needless to say, I’m quite happy with my purchase… And it’s amazing what the right size rug can do for a space… Our hallway went from “conflicted with a tiny rug” to its own, cohesive space.

I love it when things like that happen! 🙂 

Also, World Market is having a fabulous rug sale at the moment, so if you need/ want a rug, right now is a great time to do it! 

Stay tuned for later this week… I’ll be sharing sources for all the rugs in our home. It’s a tricky business, those rugs, so I’m happy to share anytime I find some I love! 🙂

    Beautiful!! A perfect fit and neutral, but no so much that it will show dirt. Yay! I found a natural rug at World Market that I used in front of my sink for a really long time. I need to get a replacement as it has seen better days, too! 🙂

    Love love love this rug! I’m thinking it could be a good choice for my master bathroom- the subtle texture and color variations will hide a lot between vacuuming as well as those inevitable hair product woopsies! 🙂

    Niiiice. And looks like it would hide the dirt like a champ. A necessity in my house. 🙂

      I saw that too, and assume they don’t sell it anymore. Which is a bummer, I love this!!

Instagram post 17877687346486071 We are loving the evening glow from our Christmas tree! Today on the blog, I’m sharing all the details on our tree and the different steps and layers I used to create it. It’s such a beautiful addition to our living room. 🎄

Instagram post 17855703316617271 Happy Saturday! We’re installing more interior doors and trim today! What a big difference it makes! This fixer upper of ours has been making some big progress lately. 😍 
Throwback to my last house... but our new doors will look similar to these!

Instagram post 17856780565609483 Our new flocked Christmas tree arrived and I spent the afternoon setting it up and fluffing the branches. It’s such a tedious job, especially on a new tree, but it’s worth it! 
I’ve been trying to decide how I wanted to decorate this year, and while I was “fluffing”, I think I finally decided. And now I’m excited. 😬🎄 This lovely picture is from my last house, all decorated for Christmas. 😍

Instagram post 17842824415781814 On the blog, I’m talking all about designing and purchasing our IKEA cabinets. We still have a little ways to go before we “officially” have the cabinets completely installed and finished... and then we have all the other things we need to add, like a custom vent hood, backsplash and open shelves, just to name a few, but if you’re wanting to use IKEA cabinets, today’s post will give you a good idea of what to expect!

Instagram post 17881252693452397 I’ve been updating the home tour of my old house on the blog, and I ran into this gem of a picture. This breakfast nook was such a beautiful space.

Instagram post 17859897157563074 I’ve been on the hunt for a new flocked Christmas tree since this beautiful tree is waay too tall for our 8’ ceilings... and I don’t want to look like Clark Griswold with my tree stuffed in the corner about to burst through the window. 💁🏼‍♀️ Sooo... I searched high and low to find the best flocked Christmas trees. There are some seriously beautiful trees... and after getting our tape measure out, we finally picked our new tree and it should be here this week! 🎄

If you’re looking for a new tree, be sure to head to the blog... I’ve organized them by size to make it easy! 👍🏻 #thewoodgraincottage #thewgc #christmasdecor #christmastree #flockedchristmastree #ontheblog
