shopping.for.rugs.

I got a rug! We went over to mal elfman's right at noon today, after calling to see what time they opened. They were not opened. In fact, they didn't open at all. It seems like it would have been a good idea to change their answering machine message to reflect their new store hours, especially since they don't have a website. It worked out anyway, because since we were on moody street, we walked around and found another rug store. It looked cheesy from the outside (lots of tacky faux orientals on the floor) but there was some great stuff at even greater prices. They basically have high end carpet remnants that they bind and sell at big discount prices. I found a 9x12ft khaki wool textured rug that will fit my new bedroom perfectly (the room's actually 9'9"x12'7"- so it will leave a nice even edge). Now I just have to figure out the paint color to go with it.
