I had that sucker pulled out of its wrapping and down on the floor faster than you can say “stubbed-my-toe-moving-a-couch-by-myself” ;)

living room progress – gallery wall
I’m slowly, but surely making some progress in my living room. The most recent change was adding a gallery wall to both sides of the fireplace.

the diaper incident
Let me paint the scene for you. I walked into my living room where my dog was sitting by the back windows looking all pathetic and lonely. “Ruff… did you not get enough attention today?” I walk over, scratch behind his ears, give him a big hug, and a couple smooches on the cheek. Then,…
Mugshot
Mike and I had been going through our pictures the other day and started busting up when we saw a couple of Ruff. They totally looked like mugshot photos! So, today I came across them again and couldn’t help myself. Known offenses: pantie stealing, sock stealing, & drive-by food snatching I clearly have too much time…

It looks great in your room! Love the subtle pattern!
Really nice. We have a really similar one in our living room that I love, but I hate that it scoots all over the place. We put a pretty hefty rug pad under it a few months ago that helped, but it still scoots. Not that it has anything to do with kids running and jumping into the chairs or anything. 🙂
Love the rug, I would love one in a black and white pattern for my loungeroom, but haven't found one I like yet.
I have had my eye on that same rug – I love love love it with your black & white palette!
It looks beautiful and it fits in perfectly with the room. Love! Have a great day, xoxo
Great choice! The herringbone looks gorgeous against the tile and with the rest of your look.
Such a great rug! Totally grounds the room and adds a fun texture!
Is it itchy? I LOVE the texture and the pattern, but I like to sit on the floor and would worry about jute being scratchy or rough.
Karli,
I've been sitting on it a lot lately, and I don't find it to be scratchy (actually sitting on it as I write this). Overall it's pretty soft, but there are a few rougher fibers sprinkled throughout. It doesn't bother me at all, and I'm thinking it might get even softer with regular wear and vacuuming.
Shelley,
I searched "jute rugs having kids" and found your blog. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your style. We have same taste. 😉 I am considering buying the same rug from Pottery Barn. Since you have kids have you been happy with it as far as comfort, spills and getting out stains? Just wanted to know your thoughts as I am anxious too in getting a new rug! Thank you!
Definitely still loving the rug! The texture feels great under foot, kind of like a little foot massage as you walk barefoot over it. There were a few rougher fibers, but they are getting softer with regular vacuuming and use. So far we've had coffee spilled on it (stained color blended right in and you can't see any difference), ice cream and Mac & Cheese (both of which came clean with a wet towel). My only complaint is that my large 80 pound dog will dig his nails into the rug and pull up on it like he is trying to fluff it up on occasion before he lays down, and it has caused a couple of long pieces to pull up and out. I can easily tuck them back into place though and you can't tell anything is wrong. Makes me want to go nuts on the dog though 😉 Hope this helps!
Considering this rug to replace a cheaply jute I have. Love the jute so I'm sold on the natural fiber BUT my current rug sheds uncontrollably. We've had it 4 months and anytime anyone sits on it we are immediately covered in the fibers. I've had to essentially eliminate dark fleece pants from the family wardrobe. So…does your rug shed?
I am considering this but wanted other views from outside PB site. Thanks for sharing!
I just ordered the same rug. I got it in the house and opened it up to find that is smells horrible. Does your rug smell? I've read other reviews from people with my same odor complaint. Wondering if you have the same problem. If so, did the smell go away?
Thank you!
Hi Lindsey! Yes, the rug smelled pretty bad for a few days. I was completely bummed at first when I unrolled it, but figured I give it a few days first before throwing in the towel. I can't remember exactly how long it took for it to completely go away, but I want to say a week. Hope this helps!
Love the rug and want to buy it but does it shed??
Hi Rebecca! It does shed a bit. Much worse in the beginning than now after regular vacuuming. If I'm wearing dark pants and sit on it, I'll have little fibers stuck to me. It really doesn't bother me though. Hope this helps!
