Well.
I have brought home 5 rugs, and have returned 5 rugs. They have come from Homesense, Ikea, a rug store, and Home Depot. With NO LUCK.
I've tried pattern, colour, neutral. And nada. We have a brown leather couch and mid-dark hardwood flooring and I'm having a hard time finding something that fits our room. I think a flat woven rug would be the right weight but I want it to be soft to the touch (for Owen's soft little knees!) and that is proving hard to find.
I would love to have a rug like this in my house:

But I can't find one. Believe me, I stalk ecarpetGallery like it's my job to see when they will get brighter rugs in the size I need (at least 6x9). Ideally I would love one with no red and more blues, teals, corals. Think I can find one? Nope....
The other option I like is the morrocan rug that is popping up everywhere...
This one is a deal and a half at costco.ca of all places
While I love the look of a Beni style rug, I think it's just too heavy for the furniture we have in the room.
I think what we need is a gray and cream rug in a flat weave that's soft. Budget friendly and Kid friendly, please. Is that too much to ask?? Where is your go-to for rugs? (I'm stalking Homesense as much as possible too)...

Hi Heather! I am feeling you on the rug, they are so hard to decide on, they're such a commitment! I am thinking of thus one: http://www.ecarpetgallery.com/products/Hand-knotted-Joshua-Cream2c-Gray-Wool-Kilim-5-0-x-8-0--104037.html ...
Have you tried looking on ebay? I know some bloggers have had success finding similar-style rugs on there, myself included.
OH MY GOD my little one just bombed my rug with red freezie...I can;t get over it ...I blotted for a least 2 hours but the red is still there...
