I have been on the hunt for a new kitchen rug. The one we had before (a $4 Lowes clearance find) was fine, but I wanted something a bit larger than the standard 2’x3′ in front of the sink.
After shopping around online, I took a trip to Home Goods. I didn’t have a lot of hope of finding anything because I’ve walked out of Home Goods empty-handed more times than not. But luck must have been on my side; I went in for a rug and I found a rug! And for $50 (!), which is a pretty good price for a 4’x6′ wool rug. Everything else I saw online was at least twice as much for the same size.
I know decorating details such as this are better saved for the end of the project when all the pieces are in place, but there are enough colors in the stripes that I don’t think it will be a problem.
Plus it has a grippy rubber backing like a bathmat so I’m not straightening it multiple times a day like the old one after it gets kicked or after this happens:
She had an undying love for the old rug. I hope she’ll forgive me for replacing it.
