Traditional

I have certainly been in nesting overdrive this month. I will probably crash soon. I haven't shown y'all a new rug I purchased for the sitting room in December. The old sisal rug that was in there was a temporary fix until I found the perfect one. The sisal was previously in the dining room and was covered in stains that were hidden pretty well under the furniture in the sitting room when I moved it in there.

I was looking at overstock.com at rugs and came across one with all the colors I was looking for. I was skeptical about ordering it because sometimes the color shows differently on the monitor than it actually is, but this rug had a lot of good reviews. I have bought most of my rugs from overstock. You can't beat having a huge heavy rug shipped for under three dollars and the prices are great.

I am glad this was delivered when Mr. Savvy was home. I don't think I could have handled this by myself.

We moved out the chairs, coffee table, and old rug and added the new non slip rug pad.

I love the colors of this traditional style rug. 

This rug is mostly taupe with beautiful silver blues, sage, maize, brown and red.
It takes on different colors depending on the light coming in.

I just wanted to show you some different shots in different lighting. This rug is by Safivieh and very well made.


This rug was already a great buy and I got an extra discount plus free shipping after Christmas.

Here is a shot of the old rug. The stack of books was hiding a stain.


I think this rug is the perfect match for this room.

Beautiful colors. I love the way it complements the table and your upholstered pieces.

Simple Dwellings said...

Wow! This rug is gorgeous! I love the colors and how they go so well with the room. Beautiful! I also love searching overstock- it's a great site! :)

Ann from On Sutton Place said...

I love getting rugs delivered...such an easy way to shop. This rug is perfection...you were spot on as always. It's such a generous size too. There's nothing worse than a skimpy rug and I should know because I have made that mistake a time or two. Enjoy!

Sweet Tea said...

The love gives a great look to the room, and a bit of a different "vibe" to me. I've looked and looked at rugs on "O" but have never ordered one. I liked hearing your experience. Thanks.

Kelly (Seaux Southern) said...

Everything looks beautiful! I love red in home decor. I have lots of red in my house too!

Sweet Cottage Dreams said...

Kim, it could not be a better fit! It is the perfect accent to your already stunning room. (We have a very similar cabinet grouping).

Kim,
The colors go perfectly with the room! I haven't ordered anything from Overstock because I have heard the same thing about the colors not being exact. You really lucked out because it looks wonderful!

I just love overstock for rugs. Since I moved into our new house a few months back, I've ordered 4 large rugs and have been very happy with them and seriously, no one can beat those prices! I actually got a 9x12 in the same pattern and company, different colors, for my great room as yours! It's so thick and high quality and the same rug was twice as much anywhere else! You can check it out here:

Your rug looks beyond fabulous in that room! Seriously gorgeous...you have such a great eye!

Ruby Jean said...

That looks like it was always there....meant to be. I love how a 'just perfect' rug finishes off a room...anchors everything.
Lovely~

Mama Sue said...

Oh my! That rug was made for that room! Beautiful.

Okio B Designs said...

Very pretty and you are so right! Can't beat Overstock's shipping charges. I don't know why all companies can't do that!

Anne said...

Wendi @ Classic Chic Home said...

What a gorgeous rug! It's the perfect, elegant touch for your sitting room.
I've never checked out Overstock.com... obviously I'm missing out!
~ Wendi ~

NanaDiana said...

I love it, Kim. It looks like it picks up a lot of colors in your room. Great choice. I am always a bit afraid to order something like that from Overstock because of the difference in colors than the monitor and the real thing. Glad it worked out this time. xo Diana

sissie said...

Hi Kim,
Your new rug is beautiful in the room. The colors are perfect.
I wish that I didn't have such a hard time choosing rugs. I'll bring one home, try it and end up taking it back! LOL
Maybe I need you to choose one for me.

hugs
Sissie

Rooms by Ann said...

This rug is beautiful and goes perfect with your furnishings. The colors work really well with the room.

Andrea said...

Love your new rug! I have a traditional style wool rug in our great room, and adore it. It's quite similar to yours, in a more greenish colour palette. I am so jealous of all the great shopping options you have down in the US. We're getting more and more north of the border, so hopefully this is another company that we can order from soon =)

marty (A Stroll Thru Life) said...

Gorgeous rug. It looks beautiful in your LR. Lovely pattern and colors. Hugs, marty

Andrea said...

I was wrong! I just checked their site and it says "Now shipping to Canada" woot! I'll have to check out their goods =)

Pamela said...

Love the new rug Kim! It all the perfect colors!

It is the perfect rug for your room. I love that chair btw...

Karen Harper said...

Gorgeous rug Kim, it looks beautiful in your room.

Kelly said...

I bet you've been enjoying how it feels underfoot too. It looks like it is very soft. I like how it brings out the colors in the rest of the room onto the floor.

Rosemary@villabarnes said...

Love the rug Kim. It's a perfect compliment to the room.

Tricia said...

That looks beautiful, Kim. It matches the furniture and style of your room so well. At first glance, I thought it was from Pottery Barn. I don't think I've ever looked at Overstock.com before...I'll have to check it out :)

Gina said...

That's a beautiful rug & it looks fantastic in your room!

ℳartina @ Northern Nesting said...

Love your new rug Kim and your right about it being more cozier! I felt the same when I replaced the rug in our family room last year from a sisal to a wool print. Your room looks so pretty!

Brandi said...

Your new rug is gorgeous, Kim!

Shenita @ Embellishments by SLR said...

Kim, your new rug looks great! The colors compliment the room beautifully!

Bliss said...

That is a great rug and it does look wonderful in your room. Would you say the background is a taupe color?

~Bliss~

Jessica @ Stay at Home-ista said...

I love the rug! I'm also a huge fan of Overstock for rugs, I've gotten 2 from them so far, maybe more once the kids trash our play room rug:) I'll have to institute a "No Play Doh on the rug" rule.

Lou Cinda @ Tattered Hydrangeas said...

Ohmygosh! Kim! This rug is so pretty and the most perfect colors! I don't think you could have found one that would have looked any more beautiful than this one....

Love it!

Lou Cinda :)

Jenny said...

It looks like it was made for your room! I'm really impressed! I have been hesitant to buy rugs online for the very reasons you describe - it's nice to see a rug up close and "in person". ;-)

St. Michael's Wife said...

I am sooooooo loving this rug and the colors! (My dining room and foyer rugs came from Overstock.com, and I have absolutely loved them!)

Yes, this is absolutely the perfect rug for this room!

Grins!

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Very pretty, Kim! Love the colors and the pattern. It suits this room perfectly. You definitely can't beat $3.00 shipping on a rug that big! I've been trying to check overstock when I'm looking for something now because of their shipping.

Something Nice and Pretty said...

It's looks great in the room, I've never ordered from them so I'll have to go take a look!

jessica said...

I have been eyeing the rugs from Overstock!! I think they have the best selection and the best prices. I think I came across this rug too!! Looks GORGEOUS in your room!! Compliments it soooo well!!! I really love what tweaking you've been doing!! Great job :)

Karen said...

That rug looks divine with your furniture! Looks like it was made to go in there. What an exciting find. I have found some good buys on overstock also.

A Hint of Home said...

I love those traditional rugs! It matches everything in your room perfectly!
It's always a risk when you don't see it in person. You had a experience with this one.

Debra @ Common Ground said...

Kim this rug is gorgeous!!! It really shows of your already beautiful room!

Pat said...

You will not believe this Kim!! I bought that rug today or at least one that is very close. I am sure it is the one though, and 8x10. I found it at HomeGoods. Wool, right? It is still on the truck. I wasn't sure about it and will see when it is down. The seagrass is on it's way to the hearth room and the kilim to the lodge. When I saw your rug I had to smile. Talk about great minds.

I have always had great success with Overstock.

Honey at 2805 said...

Love the new rug, Kim! The colors all work perfectly together! You really have been in overdrive this month! I am stuck in idle!

Thank you for linking this lovely post to Potpourri Friday!

Pat said...

Okay, we hauled it out of the truck and unrolled it a little bit, my curiosity got the best of me. Mine is darker, but the pattern is very similar. It has browns, blues reds and it has some black to pick up the black in the foyer rug and some of the black accents etc.

Connie @ Sensible-Redesign said...

Its lovely Kim. What a great find. Very courageous buying on line like that.

Christine @ Stonehouse Living said...

Hi Kim,
Beautiful!!
It is just gorgeous!
You did a wonderful job picking that out online... I love the fabric on that beautiful chair!
All the Best,
Christine

Diane Cayton-Hakey said...

In love with your new rug, and what a deal on the shipping for heaven sakes because that has to be quite heavy! It's lovely!

Holly said...

I think it's the perfect match too! The little pops of red are perfect against the muted pattern.

andrea said...

Usually I don't buy from overstock b/c they've sold me some poor quality merchandise, but your rug is simply stunning! Great deal! andrea@townandprairie

I think a good rug is so hard to find. So happy you found the perfect one!

Jane@Cottage at the Crossroads said...

Your rug is the finishing touch for your room. Itlooks fabulous, and the rug will be much softer for little Leila to crawl around upon.

Lori said...

So perfect with the pops of red.

Shirley@Housepitality Designs said...

The rug is so perfect!..Yes, you really scored on this purchase. It is so difficult purchasing on-line and hoping that the colors are exactly what you anticipate they will be...It has really made your room so elegant.

janet said...

Wow...Kim, I love this rug and you are so right, it is perfect in this room. Good choice!

AngelaV said...

I love it! I have looked at Overstock for rugs many times but am too chicken to order because I'm afraid I'll get it and it look different than on the computer. Have you ever had to return a rug? If so, were they good about returns?

Savvy Seasons said...

It is the perfect rug for that room, it brings it altogether, well done! ~Liz

ourlifeinaclick.blogspot.com said...

Dusty McRae said...

Wow! Looks like that rug was made for that room it goes perfect with your furniture. Love your round table as well.

anangloinquebec said...

I love the feel of that rug. It is interesting with soft pleasing colours. I always find rugs tricky in that they have to stand the test of time, both physically and visually. That one looks like a perfect choice all round!

Lisa - A Room with A View said...

Beautiful and it adds that extra pattern in the room and ties in the other colors..looks like a Ballard or Williams-Sonoma.

Amy @MaisonDecor said...

It adds a fullness to the room~very lovely!!

Debby said...

What a beautiful rug. I will have to check out Overstock.com. I love your sitting room; it is decorated so beautifully. I love the red.
