This is the palette that I'm currently working with in my own home so this is great inspiration. <br /><br />I am also on the market for a rug. I want a thick wool one and have fallen in love with one at Pottery barn. The dog hair stays on the top of the rug, making it easy to vacuum. (My 4-legged bff has brown hair).Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647044816171766644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-55505542974174460412009-11-11T16:09:16.624-05:002009-11-11T16:09:16.624-05:00Very brave going with white.

I too have a dog, who finds my area rugs are the perfect spot for vomiting on.... and what is great about ikea is they clean up easy! I have a wool grey rug from ikea, $129.00 7x9 and it cleans great. since it is wool, liquid beads making it easy to blot dry (no rubbing) always blot. then if my dog barfs, pick up then pour water on it, then blot! cleans perfectly.<br /><br />I also have a few similar to Ally's that I throw in the wash and they wash up nicely!<br /><br />let us know what you get!<br /><br />hope this helps.<br />xx<br />callieCallie Graysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842182285936262315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711916785635061879.post-23099003323590801362009-11-09T21:13:55.622-05:002009-11-09T21:13:55.622-05:00I am a huge fan of stripes in general, so I just l...I am a huge fan of stripes in general, so I just love this post.
