I have a matching medium-sized and small one that I found in a secondhand store. They are a wool blend, I think. I'd love to have a large one, like the one I played Barbies on as a child. Nothing says cozy like a braided rug. Jeanne, if you decide to throw those rugs out, throw them to me. I have a matching medium-sized and small one that I found in a secondhand store.

Braided rugs are terrific at softening any room - and a great value! Next, though, I must work on building love for knotty pine! Hmmmm.... I see a mini series coming up!

We moved into our 1952 story-and-a-half bungalow the end of October. We made the upstairs our master bedroom, as it is one large room (in two sections divided by built-in shelves). It's knotty pine with hardwood floors. Not being a huge fan of knotty pine, I decided to accessorize in ivory and bought Ivory taffeta curtains. I really wanted to get two ivory rugs, one for each section, but need to spend money on other things right now. So, I've left the <b>two large red braided rugs,</b> that the previous owners left, on the floor for right now. And they are starting to grow on me! And your post just validated this for me, haha. They must be about 5 x 8 size and I will vouch that they are very durable. And to think I almost threw them out! I CANNOT believe what I read, every time I log into this blog. lol.
