seagrass rugs in any size you need at pottery barn!

Thank you all for the sweet comments and suggestions about my dining room furniture in yesterday’s post!  I think it’s time to part ways and let it go to someone else’s house who will love it! 

Today I’m moving on to my entry; last fall I posted my plans for a mini makeover for my foyer that included adding some board and batten to the walls and painting the ceiling pale blue.  I never posted after pictures because I’m OCD and didn’t ever feel the space was truly “finished” because I could never find a rug that fit! You’d think finding a bordered seagrass rug would be easy enough but it turns out, the standard rug sizes didn’t work for my entry.  I needed a 4×9, and after calling around and getting a handful of estimates of more than $1,000 (!?) for the size I needed, I resigned myself to the fact that we would go without one, indefinitely.   And then one day last November by sheer luck, I randomly stumbled onto custom-sized bordered seagrass rugs at Pottery Barn and the prices made me do a double take!  A 4×9 would run me just $250 and it just so happened they were having a sale on all their rugs so I ended up getting mine for $175!!  The length is perfect and the quality is amazing. 

You pick the length and width you need and the color border you want and you’re done!  Because it’s a custom order, the website says it will take up to three weeks to receive it but I got mine in less than two! 

I’ve used my fair share of seagrass rugs in my home as well as many client’s homes and, for the price, you just can’t beat the look, warmth, texture and practicality.  And on top of all that, my foyer finally feels complete, which makes me very happy!

If you’re on the hunt for an abnormal size rug and don’t want to break the bank, first, I say consider seagrass (if you can’t tell, it’s my FAVORITE) and two, check out Pottery Barn’s custom sizes. 

Happy Thursday!

    Beautiful and thanks for the tip! Do you know seagrass holds up to pets and kids? I love the look but have always hesitated for that reason.

    Jennifer – I've had an 8×10 seagrass rug in our living room from back when we lived at the beach and it still looks brand new, after sandy feet, dogs, kids and two moves! That's exactly why I wanted it for our foyer because it's so sturdy. It's not the softest on little legs as they are starting to crawl and walk but you can always layer a softer rug on top! xx
