An...Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments!<br /><br />Anon/Dan,<br />Thank you! The carpet is by Ralph Lauren and as soon as I find the information on the style/color I will post it. As far as Pottery Barn rugs, I get your point, but I think some are attractive. More importantly they work well with smaller budgets. We actually have a 10x14 rug from Crate & Barrel in our family room that I like very much. That's not to say I wouldn't like to replace it one day with something different, but it is great with teens, a big dog and the colors are wonderful.Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-33781879919140336902010-12-17T14:26:05.212-05:002010-12-17T14:26:05.212-05:00The rugs are spectacular.

Homes everywhere will thank you!<br /><br />Also, I really like the carpet under the first rug. Could you possibly provide the color and brand?<br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-29432197375135168652010-12-16T10:06:02.408-05:002010-12-16T10:06:02.408-05:00Tina,

Kate,
Much ...Tina,<br />More than I could ever express!<br /><br />Kate,<br />Much to my surprise I was flooded with emails with similar notes. I have thought about it before I even did the post and actually spoke to another blogger about this very thing. But I can't say at this time if I'll branch out into a full online shop. The larger rugs are in big demand, especially in the lighter colors, so I'll pass this information on to my husband and see what turns up in his future travels!Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-1767262506390189252010-12-16T02:05:20.243-05:002010-12-16T02:05:20.243-05:00I echo the admiring comments - beautiful rug, wond...I echo the admiring comments - beautiful rug, wonderful husband.

P...P&F,<br />I hear this all the time from friends!<br /><br />PVE,<br />Fortunately after 23 years of marriage, my husband knows what I like and understands the style of our home. He buys with the intention the rugs will find a place in our house, but knows that due to color and size, they may not. All these purchases are on the spot decisions and cash only, so I have learned to have faith in his good taste and so far it's worked!Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-10751555329213235432010-12-14T08:20:17.971-05:002010-12-14T08:20:17.971-05:00magic carpets! gorgeous!
