I have the modern equivalent of a shag pile rug in our bedroom: constructed by eco friendly, third world home business using T-shirt manufacturing offcuts. This rug has the same depth of a 60's shag pile but different texture. Vacuuming is easy (for my husband) and much nicer to pop the feet on when getting out of bed in the morning than the polished floorboards. Other than this and a couple of persian rugs, carpets are totally OUT in our home.

No! Warming up for hockey. He had pulled the old kitchen out, thankfully but he couldn't drive for six weeks so that was very helpful while trying to manage trades here before we moved in!

I don't know about it , can you change it, you can have modern and different but I think your tv unit is mid century style and table is Well I don't know what style it is than you say you want tribal . As someone suggested earlier , stop shopping before you move in it might be all wrong and your taste and ideas might change by then. Trick in decorating is to be patient and only buy when you are absolutely sure that you can take it back. Ha ha.

Thank you Scottevie.... Today, I’ve had a good look at Early Settler (gorgeous store!), Temple & Webster, Miss Amara, Freedom, Fantastic Furniture (which has come a long way).... and even Magnolia.... and I’ve found some beautiful alternative rugs to this one .... but not this one. I might put on my big girl undies & give the heart a little thrill & see if I can find it in the US - & how much of a loan I might need to get it shipped lol.
