My husband wanted a new rug for the living room, he’s been telling me that we should get a new one for months. He really wanted one of those shaggy type rugs we often see at Courts when we go there. So last month I gave in and told him we could buy a new one. I felt bad for throwing away our old area rug (we bought it when we moved here last year so it’s not reall that old) but I just know that we won’t be using it again and that it’s too heavy and bulk to keep in our storage room. Anyway we’re happy with our recent purchase, it’s the right size for the living room and the colors won’t get dirty easily even if you have a toddler at home.
