Hand Tufted, Oriental, Area & Persian Rugs

Posts Tagged ‘coffee table’

Looking for info on rugs safavieh, home dynamix rugs, oriental area rug, gabbeh persian rugs and more?

Everything seems to be a competition between my mother in law and her three daugthers (no father) and my husband, me and my daughter. Examples:

1. My mother in law "coincidentally" tried losing weight a week after I gave birth. She knew I had a talk with my husband about my weight.

2. She comes to my house, looks around, goes home and buys things for her house that are similiar. She never had an area rug and never cared about furniture, etc. Now she kept our entertainment center that we had stored there because she liked it so much, and bought an area rug, coffee table, lamps, etc.

3. She calls to "update" our family on her job status and her salary.

4.In a convo. with other family, they asked my hubby and me if we were having more babies. I said I wasn’t sure. My MIL interrupted and said, "i don’t think so, one is enough." She has 4 kids, and I feel like she’s competing over who’s the better parent.

I don’t even know if she’s aware of how competitive she is.
It even goes as far as vacations- who takes a better one- who brings back the most gifts and $$ spent… etc.

It gets on my nerves but I don’t know how to be proper and address it without feeding into it.

I just want to know if olefin rugs are good for a living room, i’m planning on buying a 6×8 rug for my living room I plan on just putting my coffee table on it and it wont be in a high traffic area are there any issues i need to worry about?

I say “No the bad things coming!” And she goes through the other door and I head towards the one with the light. But see a shadow pass the light reflected on the floor and I scream “It’s here!” and run after the woman to catch up, pass a white-ish room with a log (this rooms about the size of two classrooms in a high school put together)( Back to my camera view.) I run up the stairs and the stairs lead to a room, the doors open and they’re about four feet away from me entering the other room. The room they passed up had two couches that have three cushions each, facing each other and separated by a coffee table. There is a rug underneath the table and half of each table, they’re like rings- white –red- white- red. Except discolored from the water. There is a fireplace to the left of the table with a chimney and I think one oval picture frame on the right with a box or something on the left. I think there was a portrait once upon a time above the fireplace. I follow them through to the next room and there’s a flash. Scene change.

I’m down in the somewhat look like Crystal Gardens area and there is my best friend, a guy. (The camera changes so I can see myself) He comes up to me and hugs me, I’m somewhat confused and he hugs me again. This makes me really happy so I hug him tight around the waist with my head on his chest. ((This guy does not like hugging people and he has somewhat of an ass of a persona. We had a very big fight a few months ago where we didn’t talk for a week straight, I broke his trust completely but now we are on somewhat good terms where we talk to one another now. However he doesn’t trust me all that much anymore and refuses to hug me and all that jazz. I just stay out of the way a lot of the time. Another note, he used to like me, as far as I know he doesn’t at all anymore. He knows that I still like him – so does my boyfriend. I used to like him a lot but it dimmed down. Of anything, I just want our relationship to go back to being the close friends we were, I just want him to accept me as a friend again and I’ve been working on it. I’m aware of things take time. Another thing, he seems like he doesn’t give much a damn but he is also a very sweet person. He wants a lasting relationship with a true girl, keeps getting used and finds all of the… More Filthy famine who just want him for sex and what not. Extremely cute and one so many girls want to be with but he just wants someone he really cares about. In a way I kind of thing he hates me but he doesn’t talk to people he doesn’t care about at all…)) He moved away and put his right hand where the ninety degree angle of the jaw line is in his palm and fingers on the slight of my neck (left side) and went in. My eyes were slightly wide until he brushed to kiss my left cheek. At this time he had his hand around my right wrist. He moves away dragging me as he fell back and making me land on him. I move slightly to his left to get off of him and he says “Come on.” So I lay my head on his abdomen, he says it again and I go ahead and lay my head on his chest. I have a smile on my face. Then a flash of light and Scene change.

I’m running from the living room area of the apartment/hotel and into the room with the log, I hide behind the log with the thing/person next to me on my right and holding a husky beanie baby that my boyfriend got me the day of the prom. Now the camera changes so I can see myself and there’s a chameleon monster thing. My head tells the thing to stay here and it’s looking over the log at the thing. All of a sudden the thing jumps over the log and takes the plush toy from me and jumps to the left of the thing/person (back to my camera view) and it jumps up to go after the chameleon to get it back for me. End dream.

Sorry that this was so long, I just wanted to make sure I got every helpful detail I possibly could. Thank you for your time and please tell me what you think and thank you so much for reading this!

A couple months ago we got a dog… she’s 3 years old…was supposedly potty trained, some kind of alaskan malamute mix, quiet, extremely friendly, and much smaller than average.
The first problem I noticed is that our cats absolutely hate her. But we dealt with that problem pretty well… The next problem was that she is by no means potty trained. She doesn’t let us know at all that she needs to go, and she has pooped numerously on the rug, the beds, the upstairs carpet, etc.
I’ve been dealing with that by taking her out more often, like every hour or two–which I really don’t need right now. I got a full grown dog because my daughter likes to go walking, and she’s too young to be walking without protection.Also because I don’t have to deal with the hassle of training a dog. But screw that, right?

The second problem, is that she hates my son. My son has been nothing but nice to her, letting her warm up at her own pace–but she hasn’t. Then we emailed the woman we got her from, who informed us that she hates most boys.
Well, thanks!
The other night she was chewing on a computer cord…so my son stood up, simply to take the cord away, and she jumped onto the coffee table.
The glass couldn’t support her, it broke, it flew and sliced my sons hand wide open. That was strike one of the last straw.

Now my daughter is very sick, so I have to walk the dog, take her out to potty, etc. But she doesn’t let me know when she needs to go potty–instead, she goes upstairs and poops on my bed.
I keep my door closed, but the cats know how to open it and sometimes do…and if they don’t open it, she poops in the hallway(on carpet)
The whole downstairs area is wood, so i wouldn’t mind AS MUCH if she did it there. But no.

We were also told that she’s very friendly, as I mentioned before..but whenever company comes over, my daughter walks past a stranger, or anything else pretty much, she barks, growls, and hides. She’s very timid and that causes her to be a threat.

She’s also not the breed we were told she is, but rather a pitbull mix. As much as I love the breed, there’s a reason I didn’t get one. They need to be socialized, supervised around other pets(the cats? stray dogs when walking?), and they can be aggressive. I’m not prepared to deal with that…

Also, because of her fearfullness, she barks at every squirrel that goes across the yard. That’s a problem becuase our neighbors are extremely touchy, and they will 911 us.

She has barely warmed up to me, and my son can’t take her outside to use the "potty" because she refuses to let him anywhere near her. I also just got a promotion, which means more hours and less time to take care of my sick daughter AND a dog that poops everywhere and barks at every living thing…and also, sometimes, hides from me.

So, I don’t know what my options are. I don’t want to rehome her…I would like another option. So any suggestions would be helpful.
Add*
She’s a housedog.
Friendly to my daughter, sometimes me, just no one else.
Took her like two weeks to warm up to us–at first she barely came out of her kennel, and refused to eat.
I took her to the vet when I realized she was pooping. They said her health is fine.
They said her health was fine, and she was just probably never trained.
I also think she may have been abused, due to various cuts and bruises, and the fact that she acts so frightened all the time.

Hi, My living room has 3 seater and 2 seater couches arranged L shaped. The dining table lies parallel to the 3 seater on the other end of the room. The TV is kept parallel to the 2 seater against the opposite wall.
I have a coffee table and planning to buy a 5×8 rug. How do I place the table? Should it go in front of the 3 seater ( perpendicular to TV) or in front of the 2 seater??
I have tried arranging in both ways. But cant seem to come to a decision. Need some advice!!

My friend of 10yrs hosted a girl’s-night party at her house last Saturday. It got pretty rowdy, everyone had a good time, and I left on a good note. This evening I got a text from my friend telling me that "she had me for damages", that i needed to buy her a new rug, and accusing me of ignoring her repeated requests.

This is the first I’ve heard of any of this. I have received no phone call, text, or FB message. My email at work is crashed right now, so maybe she tried that. I apologized profusely and said that I would replace the rug at her behest.

While I am very willing to provide her with a new rug, I do not recall spilling wine on it. I know I DID slosh wine on the coffee table (that I cleaned up) and I cannot claim that none dripped on the rug, but there were four other girls present and I’m sure I did not dump a whole glass.

The whole thing strikes me as odd because I’ve never seen her act like this. if it were me, I would have just cleaned the rug myself and not said a word. The rug is not an antique or anything and she has far more means than I.

So am I doing the right thing by just getting her a new rug or should I have questioned it more? Is this normal ettiquete?

I have brand new wall to wall carpet and a large area rug. I have placed my coffee table in the center of the rug, but the weight of it is curling and rolling the rug. My toddler keeps tripping. Any ideas on how to fix this with out ruining either carpets?

My brother inlaw, his girlfriend, their nine month old daughter, his 10-year old daughter from a previous relationship, and his girlfriend’s 13-year old sister came to visit us on Saturday night. When they called I really wasn’t in the mood to be bothered with them, but my husband told them we’d be at home and invited them over so I didn’t want to go against the grain.

My eldest niece usually comes with my inlaws (as she spends a lot of time with them) and she has some behavioral issues. We have just recently started spending more time around the nine month old and although she is as cute as a button she is a terror. She gets into EVERYTHING. She recently started walking so she can really get to where she needs to go. This is only her third time coming to our house but she makes me a nervous wreck.

She goes from one thing to another. From the TV cabinet that we have our flat screen sitting on to the end tables to the coffee table to the kitchen table. Her parents will only get her attention if they feel she’s in danger. I feel she’s putting herself at danger the entire time. We do not have kid friendly furniture at all. Our furniture is very heavy with lots of carvings, solid wood and marble in the living room. We have a rectangular glass table in the kitchen with sharp corners.

We have to leave the doors on the TV stand open in order to change the channel but the little one kept messing with the doors, swiging them back and forth and I was so afraid she was going to smash her fingers. She kept trying to push the buttons on the DVR and the other electronic devices. Her mother finally said something and got up and went to remove her from the area but she eventually made her way back. Then she was crawling on the kitchen floor and I was so afraid she’d bump her head on the glass table.

Me and my brother inlaw’s girlfriend left to go to the store. The two younger kids stayed there with my husband and his brother. When I got back and tried to change the channel it wouldn’t work. I kept trying to figure out what the problem was. Come to find out the little button that clicks between TV, Audio 1, Audio 2, and Satellite had been broken. Instead of clicking between modes the button now just glides across and the remote doesn’t work.

Also, later the baby wasted some of the soda (yes, they give her Mr. Pibb and other sodas) from her sippy cup. It was quite a bit. The 13-year old asked for something to wipe it up with and then the baby threw up in the same spot. They wiped that up. About 30 minutes later she wasted more soda on the carpet and the baby’s mother insisted her 13-year old sister clean that spill up as well. The sister refused. They went back and forth arguing for about three minutes. Nobody made a move so I got up and went over there to see what was on the floor, but I think it was spilled on our rug and had soaked in by then. Needless to say I was very agitated.

My brother inlaw’s girlfriend is 21 and he is 38. She is very immature and thinks it’s cute that her daughter is "so bad" as she calls it. The baby was crawling all onto the couch with her shoes on, playing with her keys and putting them in her mouth. For a minute I was afraid she’d stab the leather sofa with the keys because they really don’t say anything to her until the last minute. It’s almost like they’re exhausted with paying attention to her.

We are actually expecting our first child in four to five weeks. I realize babies are curious and will get into everything, but I have plenty of family members who have little ones and they just don’t let their child go ape wild like that when at others homes.

Am I being unreasonable? The 10-year old’s behavior is another story that I won’t even get into. I admit, I’m not used to being around kids on a regular basis …
Jeni – we will be baby proofing our furniture but exchanging it is not an option at all. We paid quite a bit for it. Again, I realize babies do need to explore but I would never allow my baby to do the things they allow theirs to do at someone elses home. I think what it boils down to is she is so used to do whatever at their house. I have never visited their home but they have shared pictures with us of her climbing on top of their headboard. They think it’s funny. Also, I don’t think they have very much furniture in their apartment so there’s probably lots of room for her to play. Either way, we will do what we can to make it safe for our baby once he starts crawling around (like putting guards on the corners of the tables and installing gates near the kitchen entrances), but this little girl is all over the place … and it’s like they just don’t feel like saying anything until she’s about to bust her skull open on the table.

Any ideas for an area rug or accent colors too? Do you like the sofa and coffee table? Suggestions?

I’m currently decorating my living room which has a leather dark dark brown couch, and dark brown espresso woods for coffee table and TV credenza. But I’ve got tile and the room is so not cozy without a rug. The color scheme I was going for was brown, sea green and yellowish green (based on the wall color and some great accent pillows) but I can’t for the life of me find a rug that fits with the rest of the room. I hate Oriental/traditional fuddy duddy rugs. Any suggestions?

The one rug I did find that I like is predominantly dark brown with some white. Is that too much brown to go around?

Any advice would be great since I’m totally stumped!!

A round coffee table is in front of the two couches and a persian style rug is on the floor…I need ideas to separate the two couches…I have always had a an "L" shaped couch in the same area and now will have that blank spot…What’s cool these days??/thanks.. I have a Tuscany style theme going on…im a real dork when it comes to decorating…I try soooo hard…my talents lie in other areas…lol

I was in a home improvement store one day when an employee dumped about 100 carpet samples onto the floor near checkout, and announced they were ten cents apiece. I grabbed a dozen of them in varying shades of tan, and created a very unique area rug for my living room. But it needs a little more contrast. I want to make just two of the samples a chocolate brown, so I looked into carpet dyes. This is such a small project that I don’t want to spend much. Could I just paint the rug? If so, what kind of paint would be best? This rug is just under and around my coffee table, and these particular areas wouldn’t be stepped on or sat on, so I don’t care if it’s a bit hard to the touch. I’m more concerned about how well it would adhere to the carpet and stay put.
I should have said, even though the rug areas are mostly under the coffee table, the table is clear glass, so it would show.

I’m trying to match the sofa up with my coffee table set they are slate I love them there beautiful and unique I wanted to put a dark chocolate or a black sofa and really not sure what color.I would like to buy a rug too but not really sure on what would look good pelase help thanks.

These are my tables that I’m trying to match with
