My Favorite Rug

I get so many questions about this rug that I have in my front room. This has to be my absolute favorite jute rug EVER!! I don’t know if you already own a jute rug but so many of them shed horribly (which is ok if you are willing to sweep up the shedding like I am) but when I found this AHHHMAZING tight woven jute bleached rug with no shedding, my heart was stolen! There has never been a rug that I have loved more than this. I love the color, the texture, and the overall beauty. The texture is a bit more rough but not splintery like some jute can be and I love it! The jute is tightly woven and does a wonderful job of no shedding. I have noticed absolutely no shedding since I got this rug and now I want one for every room. Too bad my budget doesn’t allow for that.

 

You can find it at Amazon and I’m linking it up with an affiliate link here and here for you to check it out and get one for yourself if you would like. The size of mine is 10’x13’6″ and it fills more than half of my room which is wonderful since I’m not too fond of our tile. They have many different sizes to fit your room/space. I love that this rug comes in such a massive size! It’s definitely, Chester approved.

 

 

I love the texture of the natural fibers! It really makes my space so much more cozy. I have slid furniture over it many times and it’s still holding strong. (and please ignore the couple of needles I missed from our Christmas tree)

 

As many of you probably already know, Chester loves to pose. He usually either wants to be in the picture or just wants a treat. He sure is a cutie and our home wouldn’t be the same without him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! I’ve linked everything from this space below. I know many items are thrifted or from sale sites, such as Craigslist or yard sale sites, but I hope that is encouraging to you as well, showing that you can decorate on a budget and make a nice cozy space for yourself without having to take out a second mortgage on your home. LOL. Have a wonderful day my friends!

    How does it hold up with Chester? Every rug we get in our living room can’t handle the traffic of two people and two dogs rough housing. Thanks!

      Hi Kellee! It’s a lighter color so would probably show dirt more in a high traffic area but it’s a durable rug. Ours is not in a high traffic area so I can’t speak there from experience. ❤️️

(Swipe over) We couldn’t decide either so we just got both...said the wish monster. 🤪We don’t have room yet but I’m hoping for a nice big hutch like one of these to be part of our kitchen in our build. @antiquitieswarehouse has the best stuff!! Our kitchen to come may be a little outside the norm and I’m super pumped about it! Oh, and lots of you wondering the cost of this hutch...let’s just say if you could have a new car or a new hutch, which would you choose? I’ll take the hutch! 😃25K for this puppy #antiquehutch #antiquefurniture

Yay for fun projects and for just plain fun! 😁🐶 #samspartner #gallerywall #photowall
Mirror, done! What color was your guess? Were you Mirror, done! What color was your guess? Were you scared watching stories? No hot pink or turquoise ...I just wanted it warmer with more gold tones and I love it! It looks older and more realistic now...not so plasticity like before. I’ll show you some close ups in stories soon and will show how I got the old layered look...it’s even better in real life person! #standingmirror #rusticdecor
Do you think I bent the jigsaw blade? 😬 (swipe Do you think I bent the jigsaw blade? 😬 (swipe over) It was worth it all none the less. This was a “bench in a day” project. The thing that took the longest was refinishing it, the rest was cake...after we fixed the boards that Bob the Builder messed up. It will eventually go in the hallway. I hadn’t added the screws here yet bc I was running out of daylight to get a photo but check stories and I’ll show you how I’m (I mean Trav) is putting it together. He insisted on helping me when my arm fell off from all of the refinishing. What a sweet guy! ♥️ #rusticbench #diybench
Did you see this huge undertaking in stories and t Did you see this huge undertaking in stories and the plucking of the eyebrows with a needle nose plyers? Talent🙋🏼‍♀️ Stupidity 🙋🏼‍♀️I may not have any fingerprints left but the hutch is done and I’m in love!!! (Swipe over) 45,872 hours later and I have a hutch like no other. Can you believe I added layers of texture to this thing, painted it, didn’t like it, decided to sand it to the nubbins, white washed it, and then glazed it?!?! 🤩 Yeah, most of you probably know me too well by now...I’m nutso and I know it. Now to decide if I should put the original hardware back on or change it up. I’m thinking I’m loving the look of the old hardware on it. What do you think? (Swipe to the end to see the “before” and hardware I’m thinking of using) #oldhutch #antiquehutch #pinehutch #rusticfurniture

Just call me high on pot life...I’ve taken my old POTS health and changed it out for a new pots way! 🙌🏼 If you can’t find me, I’ll be over here just working with my pot! And, I’ll let you in, if you bring grain free brownies...or cupcakes...but I prefer the brownies🤔.
