I've been searching for a rug for the living room for quite some time now. Man oh man, rugs can get expensive. Whew. I've walked away from a few that were in my price range because they weren't quite what I was looking for. In most cases I would rather save a little longer, than settle for something that I will just be disappointed with a short time later. Ya know?

On a whim, I decided to check out the rug department at Lowes. Guess what? I found exactly what I wanted right away and it was on clearance for only 80 bones. Not too shabby compared to other prices I've seen. Just for kicks I started browsing the other rugs available. Then suddenly, a light shone down from heaven, and I heard a children's choir start sing. There it was. A rug that looked almost exactly the same as the "perfect" one for a mere $20. Ohhh snap. So, I drug the $20 rug over to compare it side by side to the $80 rug. Nope. It wasn't a dream. They were very simliar. The main difference was that the $80 rug was a bit softer. But to save $60 I could just wear socks if I wanted the same feel.



I wanted a neutral colored rug. That way, if I wanted pops of color, I could just change out the couch pillows and curtains and such, without having to hunt for another rug. I also wanted it to have a texture. Originally I was on the hunt for a jute rug, but this one works just fine.

note: It's a good thing I only paid $20 for it. Lula (our youngest pup) decided to "christen" it the day after we got it. Phooey, Lula, phooey.
