Apartment Essentials {The Rug}

Problem: your apartment/dorm room carpet has seen better days. Solution: camouflage it with a chic and cost-effective option from Rugs USA. They were kind enough to send the Ultra Shag Natural Flokati rug my way and I absolutely love it! It will undoubtedly be a fixture in our first apartment whether it's concealing icky carpet or warming up hardwood floors. 
Rugs are investment pieces and can cost you big bucks if you don't know where to look. Fortunately Rugs USA has an amazing and affordable selection complete with customer reviews so you know you're getting the most for your money. The rug they sent me is super soft and totally versatile. Sure, flokati isn't the easiest thing to keep clean — but when it looks and feels this good, who's complaining? Of course if flokati's not your choice there's plenty else to choose from...


Do you see where I'm going with this? No matter what look you're after, I'm certain you'll find something you love at Rugs USA. They were a dream to work with and frankly their selection is the best I've come across to date. 
But don't just take my word for it. My puppy Fenway is equally obsessed!

It's funny, but this comment will be totally unrelated.... :)
When I saw your first image from my Dashboard page, it looked like the vapor images we have been seeing the last few days of Hurricane Irene, and I was thinking quietly to my self; what's up with that... LOL
I think I need to stop watching the weather channel!!!

Last image is super cute :)

Thanks so much for posting the trellis rug! I have been stalking Rugs USA and other rug sites for one just like this in navy but wasn't coming up with anything in the color I wanted...and it looks like now they have it!
