Title: Area Rugs
Post by: Alice on February 21, 2007, 11:21:06 AM
Why are these so expensive?  I'm trying to find one that will go with my new decor for like $75 or less.  All the ones that I like (solid colors, btw) seem to be running no less than $500.  I think I need to learn how to make rugs so I can make a fortune.

My mom picked up a huge, swank persian rug from some old lady at a ridiculous price. Area rugs are awesome. I was just noticing the area rug in The Aviator from Howard's house lastnight.

I'm a big fan of non-carpet floors and area rugs. Carpets are effing NASTY.

Yay!  I know you were all wondering about the progress of this.  ;)

I found a set of 3, 3.5x5.5 rugs - 100% cotton, in my color for $100.  So hooray!

Congrats! 

I totally could've found you something if I'd known you'd go over $75 and smaller than 4'.

Hahaha, I didn't want to - but I figure I can put two of these rugs next to eachother & now don't have to bother finding a rug for the dining room either.

I was going to suggest that you go to a carpet store and buy a remnant.  They can bind the edges for you and it would be any size that you wanted.

I believe because good rugs are hand loomed, as the weaving and pattern requires a certain amount of artisanship that a machine just can't do.

Have you tried going to an antique or thrift store?  Sometimes they don't know the value of a good carpet.
