As we mentioned here, the bedroom is “still looking rough and we’re not sure about a lot of things – just waiting for inspiration to strike – which might involve repainting and rearranging furniture along with refinishing the floors”). We even elaborated a bit in the comments when folks started asking what we meant by that or if we hated the current color by saying: “We love the paint color but something is off about the bedroom and we’re not sure we can rule anything out – including the paint color. Everything is a suspect until proven innocent. Haha. Something is limiting us, so we’re not opposed to changing that thing once we pin it down (it might be the curtains or the art or something else!) just to get things to “click” for us. Who knows where we’ll end up!”
You can relate to that feeling, right? The whole something’s-off-but-I’m-not-sure-what-it-is thing? Moving the art together above the bed on Friday was a start, but we actually have a bunch of changes on the agenda for this week in the hopes of cracking the case and making “that room where we sleep” feel a little more like “that room that we love!” Of course we know that a big ol’ transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but we also have seen firsthand how a few updates and switcheroos can go a long way in remedying that “hmmmm, something’s just not right” feeling that has probably popped up at least three dozen times in our last five years of DIYing. So we know it well.
We’ve learned that the only real way to get any closer to something that feels right is just to play around and see what you like and what you don’t. The ol’ trial and error approach. Because if you’re sitting there frozen in fear or over-thinking things to the point that you’ve lost all momentum it can get sticky. So without further ado, let’s get into the first tweak, which has already taken place. And it’s kind of a biggie. It all started when we saw the rug on the bottom of this picture at an outlet liquidation sale…
We weren’t looking for a bedroom rug, although we weren’t ruling out the idea of changing anything in that room (because remember, everything in there was guilty until proven innocent- haha). I had actually said to John “the jute rug in the bedroom could always move out to the dining room since we’re planning on getting a natural fiber rug in there for under the table and it’s definitely big enough” – so I guess you could say we were open to anything. So when there was a big tent sale at our favorite lighting outlet (The Decorating Outlet), which also happens to sell rugs (it’s where we got the thick wool rug in Clara’s bedroom along with her blue capiz chandelier and the big glass pendants in our kitchen), we had to check it out.
And that’s when we saw the patterned blue rug in the picture above this one. And it was all over.
We love all of those colors (gray, navy, teal, white!) and the geometric pattern was totally calling our name. By now you know we’re suckers for a geometric rug, right?
They just do something to us. They make us feel alive. Oh yes, we live dangerously.
But back to reality. Since it was a thick 9 x 12 wool rug, we were nervous that even on sale it would be $700 or more, which is sadly way out of our price range. But when we checked out the tag, we almost couldn’t believe our eyes. Did that really say “was $1287.00, now: $250” ?????!!!!!
That’s not 40 or 50% off – that’s over 80% off! So we asked the guy what was wrong with it to make it so cheap, since the tag said “soiled” as the reason for the discount. We hoped if it had a stain we might be able to hide that part of the rug under the bed or try to remove it with some crazy scrubbing ritual, but he actually told us it was ripped. As in, there was a hole right through it. Eeks. But thankfully the placement of the rip was in a corner, and although it looked like this if you picked it up and put your fingers through it…
… it looked like this when it was laid out on the floor. See the big gaping hole?
We didn’t either! The thick pile of the rug was so dense that the rip wasn’t even visible, let alone obvious. So you know what we did, right? We thanked our lucky stars that it was there. It was the only reason that we were able to get over $1000 off (!!!) and take home a $1287 rug for $250. We shoved that sucker into the passenger seat of the car faster than you can say “will-that-fit-in-an-Altima?” and I rode in the back with Clara, happy-squealing my way home.
To save you some scrolling, here’s a before pic of the old rug for ya again (remember we’re still missing major furnishings, like something in that nook, art on those bare walls, etc):
Next we pulled out the old rug that we’d love to relocate into the dining room under the table. We laughed at how naked that yellowed old floor looked. Someday we’ll refinish it, but until then our new rug will be in charge of de-naked-ifying things.
First John did some cute vacuuming to remove any dust/fibers leftover from the tent sale. Look how fast he is. He’s like Edward except he doesn’t sparkle in the sun or bite me for sport.
Next we shimmied it carefully under our bed. It probably took us a good twenty minutes to get it centered – just inching it back or to the side a little bit at a time.
We love it more than words can say. Although, to quote Tim Gunn, it’s a lotta look. Haha. Still missing major furnishings/art of course, but we’ll get there. So some folks might go for something less patterned or colorful for their bedroom, but we think one of the main “what’s wrong with this room” issues for us was that it didn’t feel happy or fun or “us” at all. And now it does. Oh happy day.
See how this room could almost be anyone’s bedroom?
And see how the room above it probably couldn’t be most people’s bedroom? Haha. That’s the beauty of a room that feels like you. It almost feels like it couldn’t be anyone else’s. So I’m sure there are lots of folks out there who would pass on this baby, but we decided when we moved into this house that we were going to make a playful, happy-go-lucky little love nest for our family. So we’re cool with waking up to a room that “smiles” back at us. Sort of like how we love our chipper living room and guest room (which have those other colorful geometric rugs going on):
I know, I know – things in the bedroom look a lot less polished or finished than those two rooms above. True dat. Look at that naked nook and those bare walls. But things always look crazy in the middle. Heck, sometimes things don’t really click into place until the very last tweak has been made, and I’d say we’re at least a dozen tweaks away from the final tweak (the pillows, curtains, and lamps might be the first to get some tweak-age now that there’s a new rug in town). But we’ll get there someday…
Nothing is safe when we have our tweaking hats on. Haha. But thanks to the new rug we’re invigorated and excited to play around a little more and see where we end up. So expect a few more changes throughout the week as we try our hand at a few other switcheroos and snap pics for you as we go. Some might fail, others might work- so it’s all about playing around in the name of figuring this room out a little more.
And can we talk about how plush this guy feels underfoot? Excuse me for mentioning the original price again, but have you ever walked on a $1287 rug before? We hadn’t either. It’s what we imagine the carpets in The Donald’s house might feel like. Super super plush. Like double thick. Burger even lounges on the rug now (he used to lounge exclusively in the bed, so it’s funny to see him sprawled out on the floor these days). It’s nice to know that we have the doggie stamp of approval.
What did you guys do this weekend? Any deal hunting, rug rolling out, or super fast vacuuming? John also ran his buns off at the James River Scramble (it’s sort of a rocky trail run/10K) and we loved cheering him on. We also squeezed in a stroll around the art museum (Clara loves VMFA) and dropped in on a new doughnut shop that opened. Good times. What were you guys up to?
Kristi says
OK, last suggestion…..wider bedsides to balance out the height of the bed posts?
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yes, I’d love that! But see the door to the right? Any larger tables would get hit by the door! We have thought about making the door swing out into the hallway instead, but that’s where we walk all the time, so it might cramp our style out there- not sure where we’ll end up!

Izzy says
The rug makes such a difference! But I agree with the previous posters who suggest moving the bed (to the wall facing the door). It seems like you have so much space in there, but the bed is kind of cramped next to the door?
YoungHouseLove says
Oh no, the wall facing the door has that alcove on one side and an off centered window, so we’ve tried putting the bed over there and it makes no sense and just doesn’t look balanced! Hope that makes sense!

Shana says
I love sales! I can picture Sherry doing a happy dance on the carpet each morning over such a good deal.
Also something I thought you guys might get a kick out of: This morning on my way to work I drove by a house that had a white door and door frame propped up in the front yard with a FREE sign on it… first thing I thought of “Do we need a door?” Second… “I wonder if YHL could use that?” I live in VT though, so it would be a bit of a drive for a free door :)
YoungHouseLove says
Hahah, oh man I love a free door!

Nikki Kelly says
Love the rug! Do you have any plans to reinforce the hole so it doesn’t get any bigger? Maybe a patch of carpet tape to the back side or something. Btw, your weekend sounds a lot more fun than mine. I’m spending the bulk of my 2 days stenciling, and I now understand the claw hand syndrome.
Nikki @ the ambitious procrastinator
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yes, someone recommended an iron-on patch from the back to hold the fibers in place so we’ll do that! And go you- happy stenciling!

lindsay says
How about painting the bed posts – or the whole frame – dark gray to matchy match the rug? Would balance out the bright/dark thing nicely.
YoungHouseLove says
Always a possibility! We like how it ties into the crown molding and the trim for now, but you never know where we’ll end up!

Love the new rug!! Like you mentioned, it’s nothing I would pick out for myself but it seems just perfect for your family! The colors and pattern are beautiful, and that price is AMAZING!
We spent out weekend cleaning out the guest bedroom for a semi-permanent guest. A big Goodwill drop is in our future. :)
Olivia says
Congrats on finding such an awesome deal! Where is the hole in the rug now – is it hiding under the bed?
YoungHouseLove says
It’s in the corner near the door. Someone mentioned that we should use an iron-on patch from the back to hold in the fibers and seal the hole so we’ll do that soon!
xo,

Olivia says
That’s a great idea. So cool that it is not very noticeable!
Julia says
I am so envious of your incredible find! My boyfriend and I just moved into our first house (!) and are currently on a hunt for 2 rugs – one for our dining area and one for our main living/family room. We have looked in what feels like every store that exists and have only found rugs that we “don’t hate.” Nothing we LOVE. And most of them are too pricey anyway. Why do so many rugs look like they belong in either a dentist’s office or my grandma’s house? I’d love to find a super funky, fun rug (that’s affordable) like the one you found, I just don’t seem to know where to look. We’ve checked local flea markets and your run-of-the-mill home furnishing stores. Any tips on other places to look for a hidden treasure like yours??
YoungHouseLove says
I would check out places like jossandmain.com, wayfair.com, overstock.com, along with outlets (we found some awesome things at a Pottery Barn Outlet). Good luck!

Laura @ so alaurable says
I’d also add RugsUSA to that list! They have a lot of modern rugs and often have 40% off promotion codes.

Linda says
That rug is beautiful! acouldn’t fit it better with your room! nd how nice of the sales guy to really point out the problem to you, so you could make an informed decision, even at that wonderful price. What’s particularly nice, from my POV, is that if any of the family happens to make a little mess on the carpet, well, it’s not like you spent a million dollars. But, I supect that the rug will clean up really well. My prior owner put in white carpets (yikes!) but they were pretty good quality and clean up well, even after kitty ‘oopsies’. Or me spilling tea.
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yes, I bet yours are wool! Wool is so great to clean! We have had a few Pottery Barn Outlet rugs that are wool and it’s such a great material to scrub! Haha. ‘

Julie R. says
Isn’t it amazing how deals like that just seem completely serendipitous! Truely, a love match, sould mates, meant to be together! I know, a little exaggerated, but honestly when I score the perfect deal it’s an emotional connection!
Casey @wafflingdesign says
Have you thought about built in shelving on that alcove space to the left? It might make the room more “square” and make the bed seem more centered and have less giant walls. Just a thought! Love the rug- what an amazing deal! I couldnt even fit a 9×12 rug in my condo! it is only 9.5 ft wide!! it would be carpeting!
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yes, we have big plans for that nook down the line! Either adding an armoire or building something in! Someday…
And our little NYC apartments were only big enough for tiny 3′ sheepskins so we can relate! Haha.

Laura@JourneyChic says
Wow – love it! It’s really familiar to me, too. I think I’ve seen it on J&M or OKL recently during one of their sales, but even they can’t beat that price! Maybe a little super glue or heck, even duct tape, to the bottom of the rug would keep it from ripping more?
YoungHouseLove says
Someone recommended an iron-on patch from the back to hold the fibers in place so we love that idea!

Seriously Sassy Mama says
I am thinking a contrasting color on the wall, and a bigger bench in front of the bed.

Definitely hoping for a longer bench at the end of the bed (this is a just for now thing to help Burger get up and down, haha) – someday!

Amanda Smith says
I would definitely turn it 90 degrees to flow with the elongated feeling of the poster bed, the oblong art, and the bathroom mirror. The teal works really well with the wall color too. I’d go taller and skinnier and curvier on the lamps to continue the elongated theme, which just makes me want to stretch from head to toe.
YoungHouseLove says
Oh no, it’s a rectangle, so it’s too long and not wide enough if we rotate it! Of course we tried it both ways! Definitely going to make some lamp and pillow tweaks though!

Yep, much better! And what a great deal. I have to say that I have got some AWESOME carpets on overstock.com ridiculously cheap. Not even damaged. You just have to keep looking until you find something you love.
First time putting up sheetrock this weekend. Fun! Can’t wait to prime and paint.
Catherine says
Oooh, look what it does to those walls! I was thinking “paint ’em” before but I think they look great with that rug.
As for the hole, I can’t see it but you can throw a few simple stitches in the rug and then back it with Rhino tape (made for carpets) to prevent the vacuum from ever making the hole bigger. What a steal of a deal!
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for the tip Catherine! Someone mentioned an iron-on patch from the back to hold the fibers in place so we might try that!

Seriously? That rug is freaking amazing. No, really. I live in a tiny town in the middle of east cupcake (ever heard that phrase? I hadn’t either until the game Catchphrase taught it to me!) and a score like that would literally be impossible. Impressed and a wee bit jealous!

First off- I love your house! I’m all about style on a budget, especially when it doesn’t look “on a budget”.
The rug is gorgeous!
Anyway, just had to say, every time I see that little nook I think it screams floor to celing floating shelves or a “built-in” dresser with large artwork above. Something hefty over in that corner would look nice!
I know you guys will come up with something that looks GREAT!
love you blog, love your look! Thanks for sharing with all of us :)

Oh yes, we have plans for a big ol’ armoire or some sort of built-in in that nook someday! Can’t wait!

Oh that looks great! I think what that room def lacked was the dark ‘depth’ of the rug!

Tracey says
Ha! Great minds think alike! I was at TJ Maxx a few months ago and I was flipping through the rugs… I found that same rug only a 5 x 7 and in addition to the lighter turquoise pattern, there were also lime green ones. Oh my! I fell in love instantly, but walked away. Then I saw it from across the store and fell in love all over again. It was normally $300 (I think) down to $70. I bought it and brought it home, but my love affair ended there. Although I LOVED the rug, my home didn’t. It just didn’t fit, so back it went. SO glad it worked for you and now I can just admire it (in a much bigger size!) and a space where it fits!
YoungHouseLove says
No way- that’s so funny!

GREAT FIND with the rug. You guys are seriously super shoppers. I can never seem to come across a deal that great!
Just my two cents (although I’m quite sure you would have about $2000 from everyone’s two cents on things in this post alone!) – the pillows on the bed just do not jam with the awesome new rug.
I know exactly where you guys are at with trying to pinpoint what’s “not exactly right” about the bedroom. It took me almost 2 years to pick a paint color for our master bedroom!!
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yes, those pillows are definitely getting switched out! We’re just getting started!

ACK ACK ACK! i love it SO MUCH! what an amazing find, i’m kinda giddy for you!
(i also love how the darker color incorporates your mirror and bench at the end o’ the bed as well, SO GOOD.)

LOVE the rug! It’s so perfect for the space. Did you do anything to stabilize the tear? Like duct tape on the back?

Michelle says
This question may have come up before, but have you guys ever tried moving the bed to face you when you enter the room?

Yup, this is the only wall the bed works on, thanks to off centered windows and that nook which make things look crazy in other configurations!

Sara says
I love the rug! Great find. It definitely makes the room more “you.” I think that what makes something in this room feel “off” is the Alaska botanical pictures. I know they have a lot of meaning for you but to me, they appear kind of pastel/floral and combined with the soft greenish wall color, it looks very country. Most of your other art is a little more punchy/graphic/bold and so I think its the florals (now in a place of prominence) combined with the pale colored walls (which are also a little less “you” in this new house) that do it. I wonder if a quick fix could be to change out the frames for darker ones, or a bigger change may be to go with a darker, more saturated wall color (charcoal, perhaps?). Another thing is that the four poster bed negates the need for a high/interesting headboard, which can often offer another interesting focal point in the room. That’s another thing that seems “missing” to me. Just my 2 cents!
Sara says
whoops! Now I see you already have dark frames for the botanicals…maybe darker mattes?
YoungHouseLove says
Always a possibility! In person they look really crisp and clean. You can see them better in Friday’s post up close (from far away in pics they’re not as clean and crisp as they are in real life, probably because they’re about a tenth of the size!).

Love the rug, I think I would have liked the rug from your family room in the bedroom, and this rug in that room. The blues and grays from this rug would go so well with that sofa and the pillows! And I’d love to see the pops of green in the bedroom with your beautiful wood floors! :) Just a thought. I still like it this way too
YoungHouseLove says
The rug in the living room actually needs to be bigger (it’s 12 x 14!!!) since Karl is giant! We love the thicker plush one in the bedroom and the thinner dhurrie in the living room though so it worked out well for us!

Brenner says
Love the new rug!!! Those are the colors of my living room. I have a quick question… How do you keep your white bedding white with Burger on there all the time. I have two dogs who love to lounge on the bed. I would love white bedding, but I’m worried it will get dirty/dingy from the dogs. I clean their feet when they come in from outside, but I am still concerned. Thoughts? Tips? Thanks!!!!
YoungHouseLove says
Oddly enough, Burger always nuzzles under the comforter, so he’s not on top of it much. But it’s not like the bottom is dirty or anything since he has short hair and is a pretty clean guy (doesn’t run around in the mud or anything – well if he does I clean his feet too -haha). Maybe just try a white blanket first and wash it often to see how it does?

Rose says
Love that rug! What a steal! I think the only thing that would complete that side would be a colorful piece of furniture in the empty space along the left. Like a green dresser (and by green I mean a green like the dresser in one of your house tours that has the peacock mirror above it…I’m typing on my phone or I would snag the link) or, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, perhaps pink. Okay, maybe not pink, haha. But some pop of color over there that didn’t exactly match the rug would be awesome! And more patterned pillows! So yeah, you rug is totally awesome and I’m totally jealous! ;)

yes!!! love it! so happy for you guys and so jealous for myself. that rug is calling to me. I pet it on my laptop screen for awhile, but I can only imagine it’s even better in real life.
I saw your instagram picture of runners climbing over those rocks and thought holy cow, John is so hardcore. I’m so impressed that he does that!! I don’t run at ALL, but I want to become one so I signed up for a 5K this summer as a motivator. I’ve been pathetically dragging myself around a track and making teeny tiny improvements. We’re doing the Color Run in Philly. If you google it you can watch fun videos. It’s like the artsy, girly, kid friendly version of a mud run. Now I can channel your gorgeous rug and John and all those other brave Richmond runners as inspiration.

Love the rug (and pretty much everything every day) YHL! I tiled my friend’s backsplash this weekend- we were both novice tilers and used your penny tile as a ‘how-to’. Thanks!!
