Rug hunt

Don't be guilty of this sad practice for more times than not the old living room rug is not only shabby, it is wrong in color. line, scale and texture for the dining room or bedroom.

Probably you realize this yourself, but the rug is "too good to throw away" and you can't buy new ones for every room in the house.

The remedy for this problem is to buy a really good floor covering for the living room, not a succession of cheap ones. It will last and look well where it belongs for a long time.

Then perhaps next year buy a good one for some other room, until eventually the whole house is suitably carpeted.
