I just couldn't resist having a white rug in the living room. I found a very affordable 6' x 8' white cotton rug from Ikea (discontinued or else I would have bought another one!), and it was great for a while, but eventually my parents came over and decided that the whole family should eat pomegranate in the living room, out of a bowl balanced on a chair placed in the middle of the rug, while everyone sat in chairs/the couch around the bowl and dipped into the bowl with their hands. Guess what happened? Purple stains on the rug (and the dog's head).
So I went on a search for something new to put in the living room. A lot of the really big rugs I wanted (8' x10' or larger) were made of wool, which I feel weird about.
So I did a ton of research (online shopping), and after going to every website that sells rugs on the internet, I just purchased Flor carpet design squares in Fedora Oatmeal, which are:
-Cruelty free (duh)
-Easier to maintain (can pull out an individual tile and wash/replace it)
-Made of recycled material
-Way, way cheaper than a rug of that size
-Exactly what I wanted - a simple, solid rug in an almost-white color
Of course they were on sale too! It was 25% off (or, "buy three, get one free") with promo code: "squaredeal" only good till tomorrow.
