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?
heather s. says
The more I look at the pictures the more I think it is the bed. I love the white but the four posters aren’t working for me since they make it feel too boxy. I was a huge fan of removing the upper bars last year but this time I’m feeling that the shape of the bed is holding the room back. From your current angles, they block the view of the side tables so if I visually remove those vertical bars, the room opens up and things look a bit better.
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yes, we’re open to anything as we go! We have even talked about cutting the posts down or painting the bed frame a dark charcoal color – you never know where we’ll end up!

Mary Jane says
I love the rug, it looks great! Speaking of nothing being safe, I thought I’d throw this out there….I can’t tell from the pics if this is even possible, but I always like moving furniture around to see if that is the culprit too. Its hard to tell from the pictures about what the wall looks like to the right of the bed (wall opposite of door), but have you considered trying your bed in the middle of that wall? So foot of bed is facing wall with the door, horizontal to where it is now.
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yeah, our first instinct is always to have the foot of the bed facing the door but it doesn’t work since there’s that nook and an off-centered window on the other side of that wall.

I know this is a long shot, but I have been obsessed with the rug just above the rug you got ( in the store pic). It is $2415 full price. Did you happen to notice it? I live our of state but might could call the store? Any ideas?
YoungHouseLove says
I think that sold as we were getting ours too! It was stained so it was on sale, but not as cheap (it might have been bigger, like 12 x 14). Hope it helps!

Anna says
Love love love your new rug!
I’m sure your nightstands will look balanced the “someday” you put a built-in or an armoire in the nook at the left. And you will need room to open the armoire’s doors without crashing with the nightstand!
I really like the Ikea lamp in your bedroom, it’s a big room needs a big lamp with character.
karen says
fun post! i really like it!! Now i can see a dark grey paint on your walls!
Wrenaria says
Perfection! Teal + Gray + Green = LOVE. Pretty much my favorite color combination. And stripes to top it off. I’d happily live in your room.
I’ve been slowly working on my room as well – its a teal, gray, and yellow combination right now. I’m stumped on what to do for curtains and waiting to stumble across the right fit. Bright yellow dresser, gray comforter – I was hoping for some colorful patterned/graphic curtains to add some punch, but haven’t found anything that strikes me yet. It’ll happen eventually. I hope.
Jo @ Let's Face the Music says
Definitely what you were lacking in the bedroom is COLOR. You’re color folks (I know ’cause so am I.) While I admire other folks’ all white houses, I need color. And I pretty sure you do, too. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music

Good heavens I am in LOVE with your rug! The pattern and colors are absolutely gorgeous together. I think I’ll use it for inspiration if I ever get brave enough to paint a rug.

Great score on the rug!
I think the wall color deserves a look. To me it translates as tooth pastey and now maybe a little to matchy. Maybe a gray could work. Something stronger than what you have in the hallway. Looking forward to the tweaks!

I love how you “shoved that sucker in the Altima” and also… how John is faster than Edward! :)
That’s a great rug! I never find deals like that.

The rug is fabulous! I love how the teal and gray ties in with the other colors in your house. Off topic – I have to give props to your commenters who posted that Rizzy rugs are on Ruelala. Thanks to them, I found the perfect rug for my 18 month old’s new room – http://www.ruelala.com/event/product/50459/3041845230/1/DEFAULT. I canceled a West Elm rug I had on backorder (FYI, to anyone interested in the 8×10 Bull’s eye rug http://www.westelm.com/products/lourdes-sanchez-bulls-eye-rug-r968/ – it’s backorderd to mid-August) to buy the Rizzy one.

Looks great, but I have a question… what size is your bed and what size is the rug? We just purchased a rug from overstock.com (which I <3!!), but now that it's here I feel like it might look a touch small with our large bedroom and king-sized bed. Thoughts?
YoungHouseLove says
Our bed is a queen and the rug is 9 x 12! Hope it helps!

Who am I to tell you how I feel about your rug(s)? But I must say….they all look alike. They are all trendy. They are all going to be in style for a short time. You will be replacing them sooner than you think. If I were you (and I am not)…I would not have bought all three to look like they are cut from the same mold.
I know too many are to afraid to comment.
I think you may tire of them sooner than later.
Just saying’

YoungHouseLove says
You could totally be right, we’ll just have to wait and see! We’ve had that yellow moorish rug for the past 4 years! We actually got it back in 2008 and it was in our living room at our first house, then the living room in our current house, and now in the guest room. It’s far and away our favorite rug, so when we got our larger green living room one we knew we’d love it! And now we have our deeply discounted geometric bedroom guy and couldn’t love him more! But they’re definitely not for everyone and there’s always the risk that something you love might get out of date (everything in our house probably will) so we’ll just have to see what happens! All you can do is buy what you love and go from there, right?!

Hi!
I know there are already 400 plus comments so hopefully I’m not duplicating but 1) Love the rug! 2) Although I really love your nightstands I think maybe they are a little small in scale for the room … just a thought! Keep up the great work!

Oh yes, I wish we could go for bigger night stands, but see the door on the right? if the night stands are any bigger the door will hit them!

Where are your piles of stuff? Your weird bins of old (shall we just say) athletic equipment? Books that you can’t get rid of but don’t have room for? Empty boxes that need to go downstairs?

Sherry from BC says
Love the new rug, it really pops in the room. Love the wall colour but I think maybe you will change out the striped pillows next? I like them but now think maybe you need a bigger colour punch there. Fuchsia maybe? Can’t wait to see your next tweak. Love the deal.
It is a holiday here in Canada today. I have been tweaking my place too. I wanted a big happy beach painting for the play area in the basement where my grandchildren have a lot of their toys. Of course you know they have a lot of stuff cause they rule my house even though they don’t live here. I have a lot of blank walls down there, though I do put up a lot of their paintings and pictures. I ended up painting this and posting it on my new blog. Two things off the bucket list.
http://mixedupcorneroftheworld.blogspot.ca/
Of course now I am thinking of hanging it in a different spot in the basement that already had a big print, so I moved it which moved a few other pieces. Amazing how one new thing can mean changes in 3 rooms. All positive. It is nice to change things up.
nd it is propped up ready to hang today once I have had a bit more coffee.
Laura B says
Fabulous Find on the rug! I really like the color/pattern. I have really enjoyed following your house transformations. I read in an earlier comment response that you are planning to change the pillows. After sewing the other bursts of color you use in your house, I can imagine some beautiful orange pillows on the bed. I think that an orange with the teal/gray would be beautiful. I am sure that you will find something great! I am also in need of a rug for my kitchen. I just posted pics of my kitchen renovation on my blog http://www.housecallsdesign.blogspot.com
I am looking for a long runner to go in fron of the sink. I would love to hear any suggestions/recommendations that anyone might have.

I totally agree with Angie. I feel the bed is competing with your awesome light. Before cutting off the posts, could you use that bed frame in a guest room? Here is a more modern bed that I think would look better in with your light and gorgeous new rug:

We actually had a bed frame like that at our first house and disliked that it was so low. Ed is so much more comfy than Malm! Haha. We definitely won’t be chopping anything off hastily, so we actually have plans to work with Ed as is (but tweak him with charcoal paint). In photoshop it looks pretty great! Haha.

that rug looks AH-MAZING!! Total transformation. Nice find and I’m so jealous of the deal you got! Gotta keep an eye out for rug sales. wow!
Amanda says
Love the rug, and its plushiness is calling my bare feet! I was wondering if your room might feel off because the bed isn’t (more or less) opposite the door. Would it fit on the wall between the window and the niche? That may give a better flow…and give some statement options for the niche furniture to balance the window!
YoungHouseLove says
Sadly we have tried it on all other walls but the off-centered windows, nook for the sink, and nook without anything in it next to the bed make this the only spot for it! The wall opposite the door isn’t wide enough between the nook and the window for it to fit.

LOVE the rug! AWESOME deal! I think the thing that is off for me is the IKEA globe light. Love the globe itself but it makes the bed area too busy. Would you consider moving it to the dining room as well?
YoungHouseLove says
The one thing in the room (well I guess two if you count the new rug) that we’ll never lose is that chandelier! In person it’s the best! We love waking up to it reflected in the mirror above the sink. It’s the number one thing that people who come over comment about loving! I think it’s just hard to “communicate” how great it is in 2-D blog pics, ya know?

And….if you ever wanted a change, you could switch it out with your rug in the Living room….which looks like that would also go great in your bedroom.
YoungHouseLove says
That’s so funny, I thought about that but the living room actually needs a bigger rug (the green one is 12 x 14) since Karl is so huge. Thankfully we like the thin dhurrie in the living room and the thicker more plush one in the bedroom!

Love the rug in that room. So did the hole end up being under the bed?

Love the new rug! Speaking of rugs, I am OBSESSED with your living room rug. I have found similar rugs but haven’t pulled the trigger because I am worried that I won’t like the thin Dhurrie style when I am used to more plush rugs. Now that you’ve lived with the Dhurrie rug for a while, are you still happy with your purchase?

YoungHouseLove says
We actually like our queen bed (we have laid in kings and felt too far away, haha) and would love larger side tables but the door would hit the one on the right (can’t scooch things over since then the bed wouldn’t be centered on the chandelier).

Seriously, once you pointed it out, the room was a little on the bland side. Especially given your credo to go with color in the “new” house. This rug is loads better.

Berry says
If you are planning to do some switching around to check a few things, I have a few suggestions… Try dragging your large mirror into the nook. If you don’t already have a piece for the nook, it’ll give you a more finished look. Or steal the table from the hallway to see if filling the nook balances the room. (If this was my bedroom, I’d make the nook into a floor to ceiling bookshelf, but I don’t think y’all would buy books before food. :)
It’s your bedroom, so you need to be happy, but I think your wood tone furniture needs to go black, or mocha like your kitchen floor, or grey. Or possibly that bright green you have scattered around the house. Right now they are fighting with both the floor and the colored pieces. Try it out with a bit of photoshop magic.
I’d also suggest bigger/bolder/brighter for the side tables, bench, and art. The scale is a little off for those pieces. Borrow your desk chairs in for your side tables, snag the large mirror from the wall over your little white desk in the living room for bold and circular to echo the light. None of it can stay, but it would give you ideas.
TLDR – Larger art to balance the bed and the light, something in the nook, a bit more circle-y shapes not just angular, bring the wood pieces in line with the wood in the rest of the house.
PS – Loooove the rug. You can apply an iron on patch super carefully on the backside if you are worried about the invisible tear.
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks for the suggestions Berry! We thought about the mirror in the nook but I didn’t want to wake up and see my reflection. Haha. We’re holding out for an armoire or a built-in that we’ll add! We definitely have been keeping an eye out for a bigger bench (that one’s just a placeholder from our first house) and we’d love larger side tables but the door would hit them (and we can’t scooch things over since the chandelier wouldn’t be centered). As for wood furniture going black, we were thinking charcoal could be fun, so you never know where we’ll end up!

The rug looks awesome in your room… I just logged into RueLaLa and guess what I saw… a VERY similar rug to yours (but not as good of a deal). It’s called Rizzy Home “Fusion” Hand-Tufted Rug and it’s going for $699.90 for 8×10, $999.9 for 8×12 or $499.9 for 8 foot round… If anyone else is in love with it and can spare the higher price tag… it’s still out there! :)

Bill says
I was surprised how much that rug really brightened up an already bright room!
As for that nook, I think a glossy white built-in (maybe with glass doors) would definitely balance out the door on the other side (I know you like symmetry!) and if you’re like us you can always used more storage/display space.
YoungHouseLove says
Oh yes, a built-in in the nook or a big armoire are definitely on the agenda!

Valerie J. says
LOVE your choice of rug! Looks great. So…ya’ll will think I’m crazy, but looking at all the pics of your master I tend to think the bed placement is the problem. Now, I know, I know, you have that crazy-off-center niche on the wall straight ahead of the door. What if that back wall *here’s where I am crazy* were some awesome, crisp, white board and batten look and the niche was hidden storage?!?! Kinda like the molding in the office of your “Classic with a twist” house crash. Then there would be a hidden door to the storage out of those panels. Complicated, much? ;) Then I think Ed-the-bed could slip into something (a color) “a little more comfortable”.
YoungHouseLove says
We’d love to turn that niche into storage! Either with a built in or an armoire! We have tried the bed on all other walls- even the one with the niche, but it wouldn’t be centered on the light so it always looks off!

I am totally with you on this rug switch! It grounds the room really nicely, something that was missing with the jute rug, as nice as it was!
