The Barn Room Rug


Since it tis the season for giving I have put together a month of giveaways for YOU as a 
thank you for following and reading the blog.  It's my small way to say "thank you" and to let you know how much I appreciate your continued interest and support, and how grateful I am to those who take the time to leave comments.  
It means so much to me to have you here.


 Ever since showing you the barn room  I've received a lot of interest in the rug.  I love this rug.  I purchased it from Home Decorators Collection.
Not only does the natural jute braided weave provide a wonderful texture to the large space, it is also a very thick rug which adds to the visual appeal.  I have described it to some who have asked as a "destination" rug- meaning because this particular rug is so thick (it is approximately 1/2" compared to the 1/4" of most seagrass/flatweave rugs) I wouldn't place it in a high traffic location where you are constantly stepping on to, and over it; but as a destination rug where you walk on it -it is wonderful. It is surprisingly soft underfoot.  At 13 x15' the size of the rug is perfect for the room.  It is difficult to find a rug that large at a good price point, so I was really happy when I found the rug at Home Decorators Collection (HERE.)  
They have a great selection of all types of rugs at great prices not to mention a whole website of other home decor items!




Home Decorators Collection has generously offered to giveaway a $150 gift card to one of my readers!!

To enter the giveaway simple visit Home Decorators Collection and find something you might chose if you won the gift card, then come back and leave a comment saying which item that is.  If you are commenting as anonymous please remember to leave your email address as you can't win if I don't have an email for you.  The giveaway is open to U.S. only (sorry to all others) and will run for three days, closing Sunday, December 15th at 6 p.m. EST.  The winner will be contacted via email.
There are so many wonderful decor items on the website  to look at (remember to check out all the rugs), don't forget to come back and enter the contest after looking! :)
Good luck!

The giveaway is now closed.


The contest ended with 325 comments.  3 of those comments were replies to the original comment, which count as one, so that left a total number of true entries at 322.  A random number generator chose the following entry.  Congratulations Cheryl!!

  3. Joan, what a wonderful giveaway! I have also purchased from Home Decorators Collection and have been pleased. If I were to win the gift certificate, I would purchase the Freeport sisal runner rug in honey/khaki. The runner we have now needs to be replaced. It has a big light stain on it from when I spot cleaned it after one of our dogs had "urinary issues." Ah the joys of living with dogs!

    I also want to say how much I'd love to step into your barn room right now, have a seat next to Ella on that comfy sofa, and enjoy the warmth of the fire while having a chat with you! Your home is so cozy and welcoming. I wish we had some of your snow, too. Merry Christmas to you, Dan and Ella!

  18. I would choose the Rockford leather ottoman. My husband needs an ottoman to go with his favorite chair and it needs to be masculine yet soft. I call him "the prince and the pea" because he is very particular with his comfort. I don's blame him one bit actually as I am too!

  143. Joan,
    Your barn room looks so cozy and inviting, especially with the snow just outside. I could use a new dining room area rug and was excited to find Amelia Area Rug..you're right, the price is amazingly affordable.

  155. My answer is easy... I would buy the jute rug that you have in your barn room Joan! We are finally slated to install hardwoods in our family room this coming year and I've wanted a natural fiber rug for the room. But with boys who are 5 and 8, I need something that is soft underfoot and thick and warm. Thanks for the giveaway - what a wonderful gift!

  157. I have been a shopper at the home decorators site for a few years, did you know they were affiliated with Home Depot. We have the diamond jute rug in 2 of our bedrooms, yes it is thick and soft. I could use another rug something with color for the entry way. jeanne

I would buy the same rug you have in the barn room, though the smaller 8' x 11' version, seeing as I want my room to have a rug, not be carpeted! Thanks, as always, for sharing your thoughtful and beautiful resources!

  178. Well I've spent the last hour and a half looking at rugs on Home Decorators Collection! As we're sprucing up getting our house ready to go on the market, I would like a fairly large natural fiber area rug to go over my hardwoods in the living room. Now I just have to pick one! I'm thinking the Woolen Jute Blend Rug, but your Premium Braided Jute is gorgeous, too. Decisions, decisions. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
