My New Dining Room Rug

Dining Room

In case you’ve been following any of my dining room adventures with me, you know this room has been through quite a lot.

I’ve changed it many times and never could seem to get it right.

I’ve never once thought of having a rug in here as my kids and, well, us adults too are just so messy. But I’m telling you, I love a rug in the dining room!

There was so much dark wood in this room that this rug just broke up all that darkness.

I’m in love!

 Okay, let’s go back, way back, to check out the dining room again. This  is when we first moved in.

Then we painted the room a color I don’t like {I was pregnant meanly completely incapable of making paint color decisions}.

dining room before somuchbetterwithage.com

Here is our new paint color: Horizon by Behr. But there’s just something missing.

You know what was missing?

just painted dining room somuchbetterwithage.com

A rug!!

This rug is called Fancy Trellis Gray. They also have one in hot pink! Ooh la la.

Amazing right?

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed how my rug came.

There was a little dirt spot on one of the corners and I was really worried.

But I used a baby wipe and it came right off.

A BABY WIPE, people! Not even stain remover! So I’m pretty confident this rug is going to hold up to some messy dinners.

The rug is super plush and comfy. I’m surprised at how plus it is. And it doesn’t shed!

I know that sounds weird but I have other rugs in the house that shed even after years of use and they are definitely not as soft as this one.

Because I have other rugs in the house, it’s easy to compare.

For instance, my other rugs don’t have piping along the side like this one. Now I know that’s a matter of preference and I’m still getting used to it but I like my reviews to be 100% honest so it’s just something to keep in mind when you purchase a Mohawk rug.

I’m very impressed with the quality though and I’m a bit of a rug snob, if that’s such a thing!

Does it look like I just vacuumed my rug? Well I didn’t! In fact, I just took down all the party decorations in the room and there are threads everywhere!

You can barely seem them on this rug. It always looks like it’s been just vacuumed. That’s amazing!

love my new rug somuchbetterwithage.com

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .
