Just as I was about to pull the trigger on a pricey rug for the family room, I had an aha moment. It was 'Just how much lipstick are you gonna slap on this pig?' This would've been my 4th rug intended to hide ugly carpet, and while the price of a rug doesn't compare to the price of wall to wall carpet, it still felt like throwing good money after bad. So I talked to Joe, looked at the budget, and pulled out the rug samples we'd ordered from Home Depot back in June 2023. Depending on the price, we were ready to do this!
