We have a rug!
Actually, we have 3 rugs!
I love them!!! It reminds me of this photo from our trip to Hay Home.
I will hand stitch the rugs together ...or... maybe not? They can be tossed into the washing machine this way...hmmm
Adding colourful pillows was great advice! Of course, I am still using standard size bed pillows since they are way more comfortable for lounging around than throw pillows. Actually, we have two extra 20 x 20 throw pillows in the linen closet upstairs, do you think I should add them into the mix?
Thanks for your feedback yesterday!
ps. I rotated the cushions inside the kivik
pps. The blue and off white rug is very scratchy. These rugs are super soft!
ppps. Cost breakdown: 3 x 5 area rugs $59 each // Round pillow $15 (on sale!!) // Rainbow Shams $10 for both (on sale!!)
Could you use Velcro to attach them together so they can still be washed?
ReplyDeleteamazzzzing ...love the technicolour! so cheery and fun ...and I love blogs that tell me 'how much'!!!!!
ReplyDeleteit really warms up the space ... lovely ... where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon! Everything was from Urban Outfitters!
ReplyDeleteI put the baby to bed tonight and took off to the store!
That's what I am thinking...
ReplyDeleteWow! I like!!! i think the velcro idea is spot on...
ReplyDeleteI love how it looks but how do you keep those rugs from sliding around? I used to have one of those UO rugs and could never keep it in place!
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these rugs! They're colourful and bright and fresh looking! And I'd leave them un-sewn, unless they end up sliding around.....easier to wash!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour and Michelle's idea about the velcro is a great one!
ReplyDeleteso cute! my first thought was attach them or you will go crazy. Any sort of button, velco, or whatever solution seems like the best idea because of the washing aspect. Even though I tend to hate rug pads because they are one more thing I often want to clean and fuss with, I would get one for under this because I think it would add to the "integrity" of the rug... if that makes sense at all.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this is awesome for kids, fabulous for colour, and you killed the budget portion of this small basement makeover! I'm impressed.
love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph!
ReplyDeleteRug pad for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt was a 4am decision....you know? It came to me when I was trying to go back to sleep after being up with the baby.
Thanks! I was surprised how great colour looked! Crazy colour is never my first choice, but totally wins the day!
ReplyDeleteOnce we get a rug pad, we will see what kind of modifications need to be made!! Washing is key with little ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteRug pad!!! I want a rug pad to keep them in place, and also to cushion the fall when the boys knock each other off the couch...ok, a 2mm cushion isn't really going to help...but it gives me some peace of mind!
ReplyDeleteThank's Helen!!
ReplyDeleteColor is exactly what you needed down there to warm up the concrete and infuse the play area with energy. Thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteLove the rugs + new pillow! It adds a warm touch to the basement. 2 thumbs up :)
ReplyDeletelove the rug(s)! perfect solution to not "decorating" the basement.
