One room Challenge Spring 2022

This week, I received a gorgeous rug from Annie Selke. Since this is partly a playroom, I wanted a natural, wool rug that would be comfortable. The only issue I was having on my search, was finding the right size. I really wanted the rug to extend almost the full length and width of the room. An 8x10’ was too big and a 6x9’ was too small. But bingo! I was pleasantly surprised to find an array of rugs that could be custom sized! And what’s more, it only took 3 weeks to arrive at my door (custom pieces like this usually take months!).

I selected the Montage Platinum woven wool rug. It’s an ivory color that will go with anything, yet has a fun pattern that keeps it from feeling boring.

So far, it’s been a hit for little feet!
