I meant the Target rug, but I see now that what, at a glance looked like elliptical leaves, were actually the petals of a flower!</p> <p>The Monstera leaf rug is handsome but might be overwhelming in a small room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1/page/2#post-2308972 Sat, 18 Feb 2023 10:34:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate, the paisley rug does theoretically come in a round rug, but it’s sold out. I’ve asked to be notified if/when it comes in. Your comment about the leaves refers to the one that isn’t here yet, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1/page/2#post-2308964 Sat, 18 Feb 2023 05:33:28 +0000 Kate 2308964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the softer tones of the rug look great with the curtains and the soft pink of the sheets. I don't have any issue with the use of leaves in the two patterns.</p> <p>Question: Does that pattern come in a round rug? I think it might not be the pattern being so dominant to your eye as much as the two strong rectangles, from the curtain on the wall to the rug on the floor, both fighting for attention. Three rectangles if you count the bed. The eye needs a place to rest. A round rug would break up the strong verticals. Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1/page/2#post-2308962 Sat, 18 Feb 2023 04:57:57 +0000 rachylou 2308962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those fabrics are pretty! It tooke me five years + 20 minutes to raise my curtain rods higher, lol. Can’t say I put a lot of emphasis on these things Your room is looking nice already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1/page/2#post-2308943 Sat, 18 Feb 2023 01:34:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I do have solid blue fabric…. And some turquoise too.</p> <p>But I tell you, sewing in a straight line is harder than you think! This fabric is heavy, and I’ve put blackout backing on it, so it does not pull across the sewing table smoothly. Look at the bottom hem of that curtain! Doing it over is on my “later” list; I don’t expect to add extra sewing now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1/page/2#post-2308938 Sat, 18 Feb 2023 01:17:19 +0000 rachylou 2308938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I know. I’d probably add a panel of solid blue at the bottom, to provide both a rest and a bridge to the rug. But the expanse of white wall does that too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308928 Sat, 18 Feb 2023 00:55:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, the fabric is already cut—from a bolt in Florida! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308848 Fri, 17 Feb 2023 20:33:37 +0000 rachylou 2308848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a good match! I too would actually add to the curtains so they reach the floor… it’s a maximal look, the pattern mixing, and I’d go all the way. Also because it’s a sewing job I could handle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308824 Fri, 17 Feb 2023 19:39:59 +0000 Angie 2308824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I think the rug looks great!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308783 Fri, 17 Feb 2023 18:08:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I appreciate hearing from your trained and practiced eye. I do know what you mean about being too matchy. My concern about the Ruggable rug is that the pattern is leaves, as is the pattern in the curtains. They’re different kinds of leaves, but still, it could be cloying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308772 Fri, 17 Feb 2023 17:12:37 +0000 Janet 2308772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I disagree -- I think it looks really nice. Stronger colors may compete more with the curtains. I think the colors in the rug bridge the softer tones in the bedding with the deeper shades in your window treatments. It *goes* without matching, you know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308762 Fri, 17 Feb 2023 16:37:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not love at first sight. Weird, because it is extremely close to what I said/thought I wanted. If the colors were clearer, maybe it would work. I feel like it grabs attention for no good reason. </p> <p>The duvet cover is pale green, will be rotated out with others that are white with marine blue &amp; white with red. </p> <p>The sheets are pale pink. I will probably use them often because they are so soft &amp; comfy, even brand new. </p> <p>The throw pillows are in the box. Eventually there will be a chair there, with a couple comfy pillows on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308759 Fri, 17 Feb 2023 16:06:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ruggables noticed I’d left it in my cart, sent me a coupon. It wasn’t very much, so I tried the Presidents weekend code again &amp; it worked. Hate this game, but am looking forward to the rug. Target rug is also otw. If they both work, I won’t tear my hair out making a choice; they’re both washable, so one might be in the laundry for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308643 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 18:30:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! How often do you take it off to wash it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308635 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 17:48:53 +0000 Angie 2308635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our ruggable rug is big. 8x11 feet. It was a trick to get it on the the underlayer smoothly, but we &nbsp;did it. We are very pleased with the results!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308632 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 17:26:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kathie! Sounds like you’re doing better with Anthro fashion than I am. </p> <p>Right now I’m frustrated at Ruggables discount game. Two codes, POPUP20 and PRES23L, both promised 20% &amp; then failed in the end. Arg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308629 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 15:52:41 +0000 Kathie 2308629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Target one, especially since it has some white/cream, which pulls in your existing duvet, if you decide not to change that. Did you see this one from Ruggable? It has a bit of botanical flavor, if you're pulling more in that direction with the leaves. </p> <p><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://ruggable.com/products/safi-pink-rug?size=5x7">https://ruggable.com/products/.....g?size=5x7</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Glad you found your letters!

If not, I’ll check Anthro. I’m a little leery of their quality, based on clothes &amp; shoes I’ve gotten there, but we’ll see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308621 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 14:55:24 +0000 Janet 2308621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anthro does have some great stuff that would likely fit the vibe you're after, but it tends to be pricey, so yeah, as April says, I'd check out the sale offerings. </p> <p>I have actually found some good rugs and other stuff (pillows, curtains, storage bins) at Home Goods and Home Sense. When I'm in home improvement mode, I just try to stop in those stores from time to time, because their stock changes so quickly. I scored a great little sofa for my home office for a ridiculously low price that is pretty darn good quality.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308602 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 12:20:57 +0000 April 2308602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find Anthropologie is good for pretty, colorful furnishings.&nbsp; Their Sale page is a good place to start - things show up there fairly quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308571 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 03:25:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2308571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might have found The One.<br /> <a href="https://www.target.com/p/nourison-jubilant-jub13-blue-indoor-area-rug/-/A-76479997?preselect=76483730" rel="nofollow">https://www.target.com/p/nouri.....t=76483730</a><br /> Reviews say the pinks aren’t as mauve/dusty as they seem in pix. That’s a good thing, but I wish there was a raspberry or magenta among them. I’ve ordered a rectangular one, and asked to be notified when the round ones are back in stock. </p> <p>But the leaves on that Ruggable I linked to above and the leaves in my curtain are staying on my mind. Hmm </p> <p>Ma, I don’t care how trendy “flood” pants are, I’m not wearing them, but guess I’m riding that wave in curtains &amp; didn’t even know it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/progress-1#post-2308567 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 02:40:36 +0000 ma 2308567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RE: short curtains.

I have one measuring 5x7 (this <a rel="nofollow" href="https://ruggable.com/products/the-child-charcoal-star-wars-rug?size=5x7">subtle Star Wars</a> one) and want to add more. </p>
