I am in the middle of revamping my Livingroom with a new color scheme, which is not easy, since I had the other one for 10 years. I have only, so far, purchased my curtains,
some pillows on CLEARANCE at Target
and now my rug...I have wanted a neutral rug and of course I would preffer the original rug I picked out at Home Goods months ago. It was 400.00, and somehow I could not justify spending that much on a rug that would have limited me to a specific color scheme.
So I was at Wally World the other day and noticed thier shaggy rugs, but UGGGH! they did'nt have an 8x10 only a 5x8, and I really wanted this color and haven't seen it anywhere else. So, after talking my husband into it, we purchased 2 rugs and used some good ole' duct tape to keep the 2 together and....
BAMMMM! Here ya GEAUX!!! More of the Livingroom reveal coming ASAP!

Genius I tell you, genius!!
You are amazing! I don't think I would ever think of that! I am going to do it in my sons room! Great job!
First, I love it!
Second, I'm glad to see you back. Thought maybe you were sick, but I see you were just knee deep in deco land.
No free Friday? And me with a "freee" project in the making...
Super idea...who woulda thunk? Why you, of course! LOVE the new curtains, can't wait for the full reveal!
Do you know that I had two 5x8 sisal rugs duct taped together EXACTLY like that in my family room! It worked great!
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
How clever of you! Thanks for the tip.
Holy crow - what a great idea!! :)
The wonders of duct tape...brilliant...and love the curtains!
That is a really good idea to tape two rugs together. It's looking amazing!
Great idea - and I would never have been able to tell that it was not 2 rugs. Why didnt I think of that?!?! :)
I did the same thing with 2 rugs in my design room! Gotta love it!
What a great idea about the rug! I am too much of a penny pincher to pay that much for a rug! And those pillows from Target are gorg. I love that place. Can't wait to see more.
Looks great. Can't even tell that there is a seam. Gotta love duct tape!

Is there anything duct tape cannot do??? ;) Love it all--the curtains are especially beautiful.
Whatever works!!!! :o) That is how we roll in our home! Looks awesome!
I had to do this before too.. i thought it was a great idea too.. but yours you cannot tell it is 2 pieces. Awesome job....
Gotta luv duct tape! Look forward to seeing the curtains up.
Hope you'll drop by AtticMag this week to see my home on tour,

Amazing! I hate finding the perfect rug only it's 2x3. Great solution!!

Great job. I did the same thing for a big pink room in my daughter's nursery! Thanks for sharing with Made it Monday! Jules
Wow, you really hid the seam well... No one will ever know.
Ok, I admit it. Genius!!! Love the color.
Hugs, Jeanne
HA! I love it! A little creativity goes a long way.
Yes, wonderful! I've done this little trick myself. I love the other items you chose, your room should be lovely.
I love this rug trick! What would we do without duct tape? (and wonderful husbands)
Very clever. I'm not sure I would have thought of that on my own. :)
Very good idea. I would have never thought about taping the rugs!
GREAT idea! and you cannot even tell where the seam is... AWESOME!
I am impressed that you can't tell it is 2 rugs--good job, thanks for sharing!
Love those window treatments. Did you have them custom made?
Wow - that is awesome. What a great thing to know how to do. Thanks so much!
Thanks for linking this up!
XOXO

Ya, I've done this before myself! Saves a whole heckuva lotta money...great job.
I captured a bit of the Irish Lore today in my SHOW N TELL. Do stop by for a wee bit o' the Irish Luck if you can!
Wow! What a great job! I cannot see the seam at all. Maybe that is what I will have to do because I am having a difficult time finding a rug the correct size for my living room.

Great idea!! I need a large rug for my living room and a long narrow runner for my hall, but do not want to spend tons of money on them, what with 2 kids, 2 cats and a dog. This is just what I am looking for. Thanks for sharing your great idea.
Jeanette
Brilliant! Never would have thought of it!
